    I was waiting for this to happen, it only made sense.

    Espn dropped their two games on the last day of the schedule, and picked up mavs vs grizz and blazers vs clippers.

    Going to be a great day of basketball, maybe that game can put this team in the heads of those who didn't know!

    I think Blazer v Clippers will be a meaningless game (as far as standings goes) for both teams.

    Great news. I was going to be in SD where Clippers games aren't on but are blacked out. I thought I was going to have to go to LA to watch the game on TV.

    it might help us sneak passed Houston, but probably not.

    Maybe, and then it would definitely not be a meaningless game. My thought was going into the game, it will be meaningless for both teams . . . but obviously just a guess as currently both 4th and 6th are still possible.

    It's a statement game. They can take it lightly, but we need to step on their neck if we can.

    Gotta win your last game of the regular season against a legit playoff team. It's like a dress rehearsal. Blazers gonna nail it.

    Could also be a lose and play the clippers win and play the rockets for us. And as bert stated, it will be talked about when considering who is going into the playoffs with what momentum.

    Could even end up being a game where the blazers play for HCA.

    Do regular season games get any bigger than that?

    Last game that was on ESPN was also on league pass replay. Normally you can watch an espn3 game on replay but for some reason that last game wasn't on ESPN replay. So I checked on league pass and it was there!!

    Well considering if we win on Sunday that all but assures us 5th.

    The big game is tonight with Houston. If they lose, then lose again (since we don't play until Wedensday after the GS game), we might be playing our starters... and if LAC decides they don't... Ooooh well. :)
