Who To Root For Thread......

[e_blazer]

Wait, so you want the Lakers to beat us next Tuesday?

Crap! I thought we were done playing the Fakers. I amend my statement to I hope that they win all of their games EXCEPT the one against the Blazers.

 

[hoopsjock]

Some things go without saying.

Not for The HCP. He may need who to root for to include Blazer games.

That's better.

 

[hoopsjock]

Since I find myself often thinking about things from a GM perspective...

If you want a chance at Blake Griffin this off season you should be rooting for Detroit to not make the playoffs.

Same for the Heat if you are being proactive about a one year replacement for Nurk as Whiteside has one year left on his deal too.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

I'm rooting for Mrs. HCP to marry a non-Laker fanboi.

 

[BBert]

What if by losing the last game of the season we get an easier opponent Sly??

In a sense, that would be rooting for the Blazers.

I'd pull a Popovich and rest the starters.

 

[THE HCP]

Portland is the only acceptable answer.

Take care of your own business. FUCK everyone else.

You sir are wrong about this.

 

[hoopsjock]

This should be a bit like the Charles Barkley "Who he play for?" game.

Every day we quiz HCP "Who he root for?"

No, he isn't. Play to win, period.

 

[hoopsjock]

The Blazers magic number is 1 to clinch being at least in the top-6.

 

[illmatic99]

The highest probability of matchups for us is either 3-6 vs LAC or 4-5 vs UTA. LAC is slightly more likely.

Alright @ThePosterFormerlyKnownAsTheHCP it's time to play today's version of "WHO HE ROOT FOR?"

1) Los Angeles Lakers at Oklahoma City Thunder

2) Atlanta Hawks at San Antonio Spurs

3) Houston Rockets at Sacramento Kings

4) Denver Nuggets at Golden State Warriors

What are your answers?

 

[dviss1]

Easy:

OKC and SAS both losing solidifies our top 5 seeding.

FUCK Houston.... Really.. Fuck them...

Denver needs to lose to help our top 2 wet dream.

@ThePosterFormerlyKnownAsTheHCP

Time for Today's "WHO HE ROOT FOR?!?!?!?!?"

1) Grizzlies @ Blazers

2) Spurs @ Nuggets

3) Jazz @ Suns

4) Rockets @ Clippers

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Blazers, Spurned, Suns, Clippers.

 

[hoopsjock]

Blazers, Spurned, Suns, Clippers.

You're not supposed to give The HCP the answers, c'mon now!

 

[dviss1]

We need the Rockets to lose.

 

[hoopsjock]

If the Nuggets lose tonight, the Blazers would actually control their own destiny for the 2nd seed. I know that pretty much means having to win out but it's crazy that it could even get to that point.

That’s amazing. This season has been nuts.

You tell me. I want to play the Clippers

It's crazy that I was vehemently insisting a month ago that that was possible and not unreasonable, and I was called crazy to the point that Chad Doing promised (threatened?) to participate in the naked bike ride if it happened.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

I tweeted this 4 weeks ago. So far, the @Memphis game is the only one I've been wrong about.

 

[hoopsjock]

There are still too many factors to determine what it would take for that to happen. Most likely we'd need to be the 3rd seed and the Clippers would have to be 6th.

So you'd probably want the Clippers to win tonight but lose a couple other games and the Blazers to go 4-1 in the last 5.

[PtldPlatypus]

Honestly, that wasn't a crazy prediction at all. I mean, since the all-star break, they've essentially achieved exactly what they should have based on record and location.

The thing that I couldn't get anyone to acknowledge was the fact that Denver's final 1/4 season schedule was going to be very difficult, and that there was a legitimately realistic chance for them to go .500 over that span.
