Warriors beat the Grizzlies and we can clinch a playoff seed above Memphis tonight. Go Warriors! If the Clippers then beat the Mavs tomorrow; we clinch the 5th seed! It's going to be evil, but; Go Clippers! Of course we need to take care of business ourselves tonight against the TWolves. Go Blazers!
Go Clippers....I dislike them so much I want to beat them up 4 times in a row....let them play a triple overtime and put the Grizz out of their misery
Hey Tunchi, for us being such a subpar team the Clippers and Thunder are both trying not to play us...thunder by resting their starters against us...and clipps by trying to let Dallas win....the clips would rather face Dallas...
Are they? Sure, they sat 4 starters and a couple key bench players last night, but that was the first night of an away/home back-to-back. Tonight's game is at home and the guys that rested last night haven't played since Wednesday, and won't play again (potentially) until Tuesday. I actually do hope they rest them the rest of the way. Too much rest often leads to rust. I'd love them to be rusty and out of sync so we can steal game one in LA. We've won 19 of our last 21 at home. Stealing HCA from them would make it a very interesting series. BNM
Dallas also has to go to Utah on Monday. If Portland handles business tonight, they could have the No. 5 seed locked up before Wednesday and get our guys some well-deserved rest against the Nuggets.
Yeah the only way we won't be able to rest, provided Warriors+Blazer wins tonight; is if Dallas wins out. Their game on the last day of the season against the Spurs will finish before our Denver tipoff.
Doc said that Griffin is going to play in both of these games. Meaning he will probably rest the final game vs PHX.
I have plenty of faith in the Grizzlies to lose enough games to help the Blazers secure the 5th spot in the playoffs. So, to hell with the Warriors and the Clippers, heck while we're at it, to hell with the Grizzlies too! Go Blazers!!!!
Blazers just need to take care of business, plain and simple. Win two games against lower tier Western teams at home, the fifth spot is theirs. Both teams have the talent to beat Portland, so yeah it would be nice particularly for Dallas to start losing some games. They still have to go to Utah and finish with the Spurs at home. They'll lose at least one of these last 3, I predict at Utah.
It would be nice to have a practice game to finish the year. I want to see Pat shoot 10 three's, Cliff get a dozen boards and Luis display some fancy handles; all while Lillard rests all star break style.
Memphis up 5 in second quarter to Dubs. Sheesh Thats why we wanted Dallas to beat Memphis last night. Thank gosh it happened.
