Well that's good news - but do we have a finalized 8 game schedule for the Blazers?

If you would have told me in January that the Blazers season would still be alive in June, I would have exploded with excitement. We're still in it!

Go Blazers!

Good point! First time in June since 2000!

Didn't Dame say he's not playing?

If he has no chance of making the playoffs.

He does now.

 

[dviss1]

If he has no chance of making the playoffs.

He does now.

Then why'd we vote against it? You don't think Dame had any say in that?

So from what I gathered the Blazers voted against it because there were other formats that were presented they thought benefitted them more. The players felt like they should vote no on this proposal and yes on another one better for the Blazers. Jody listened to the players and voted the way they asked.

C'mon! Nothing? Anyone?

The 8 game conclusion to the season boils everyone's schedule down to just the meaningful games, rewarding Memphis for feasting on weak teams early, and penalizing us and NOP for having many of those opponents down the stretch. That makes Memphis much tougher to catch than they would have with the normal schedule, and further compounds it by having to beat them (or whomever's in 8th) 2 out of 2 games in play-in. Really, NOP should have voted against it, too. I think they had an easier path in than us originally.

No kidding. Look at the way he’s compressing that basketball without even trying.

They said, "Let's all go to Orlando.....It'll be safe!" they said!

The Blazers voted against it because the players, including Dame and CJ, wanted a 20 team format. The Blazers got hosed under the 22 team deal.

I heard about that. She says it was a great 30 seconds.

Didn't we and Dallas vote against the collective bargaining deal that ended the lockout. I'd have to go look, but I think we voted against expansion as well back in the day.

that was the sonics move

That means playoffs start on a Tuesday. I prefer a weekend start with back to back quadruple doubles. Oh well.

I think this is going to be so strange watching these guys play these games.
