That Clippers loss is pretty bad for the Blazers. If the Clippers had won they may have been closer to locking up the second seed with nothing to play for by the time they play us.

My first reaction to your post is wow you are right thats to bad they won't lock up the 2nd seed.

But then I thought, what the hell is the advantage of seed 2 vs 3? There is no home court. Either way they are out of Lakers side of the bracket. I wouldn't really say Dallas is any easier of a first round opponent than the 6th seed such as OKC...

You may be right... I'm just having a hard time judging what kind of effort other teams will be putting in.
 
I think 3-2 the rest of the way gives us 8th

8th Portland 34-40
9th Memphis 33-40
10th Pelicans 32-40
11th Phoenix 31-40
12th Spurs 31-40
13th Kings 31-41

All we have to do is beat Memphis in one play-in and we rest up for Lakers.
 
Blazers need to win out. They're good enough to do just that. Blazers are 2-1 without Dame going off yet. I don't doubt Dame.
 
Our only true hope is the Pelicans shitting the bed, I don’t see it but they are young...
The Pelicans aren't good. They actually lost 13 straight at one point this season. Has a team that lost 13 straight ever made the playoffs? I think the Suns might've done it once in the mid-late 90s but that's it.

Their schedule is easy and they have a lot of talent

They didn't have Zion. I know you think he sucks, but you are wrong.
 
Games with massive implications for our seeding going on right now. Utah and Memphis are in a tight one halfway thru the fourth. Nuggets slowly creating separation against the Spurs in the first half.
I got the Grizzlies game on at work....love my job..ha!
 
What thread should we discuss non blazer games in? I didn't see an around the NBA August thread at all.
 
Good job by the Jazz. They have 2 games against SA remaining too - they're doing god's work.
 
Memphis dropped another one. They are sinking fast.
 
Spurs losing basically puts them basically 3 games behind us. They're done.

MPJ is the real deal though, and we play the Nuggets tomorrow.
 
Things are breaking the Blazers' way today. Gotta love it!

Ariza would look nice right about now.

fuck it I hope Nas gets his chance tomorrow. Hezonja and Simons got theirs. His turn.
