    Tough game tomorrow for the Blazers. Let’s see if they have enough legs to win this one.

    No, I put $50 on an 8-game accumulator and $1.5k was my winnings. Kings v Magic was the final game of that accumulator as I liked the odds on Magic +11.5 as I didn't believe either team was capable of blowing out the other. I was wrong but the final few seconds saved me so I won.

    They're basically living off a 18-1 stretch earlier in the year when they had an entirely different team. Right now? They're awful. I truly believe they will lose in the first round. It's not like LeBron has another gear he can go to. He's been playing out of his mind all season. People like Clarkson and Hood will not be ready for playoff pressure.

    THE HISTORY OF COACH TRADES

    Milwaukee gave the Nets two 2nd round picks for Jason Kidd.

    Clippers gave Boston a 1st round pick for Doc Rivers.

    Miami gave the Knicks a 1st round pick for Pat Riley.

    Miami gave Orlando the right to swap 1st round picks and an additional 2nd round pick for Stan Van Gundy. But he wasn’t even their coach anymore, having resigned several years earlier to let Pat Riley become Coach.

    Any more?

    They played a game against the Blazers with Nance, Love and Thompson out with Hood hobbled. Those players make that team deep. Thinking any different is crazy talk. Then they have this guy on their team that happens to be the best player on the planet.

    @BonesJones Did you see this about Hernangomez? Does it change your mind at all about being mad about not acquiring him?

    We are getting absolutely carried by our defense.

    Never in my life would I have thought we'd see that in the Dame/CJ era.

    Mark Davis is burying us this afternoon.

    OKC might break the streak.

    Damn, Paul George picks up his 4th and 5th fouls in a span of 8 seconds. Why the fuck didn't Donovan pull him when he picked up his 4th with 30 seconds left in the 3rd? What a dumb ass coaching decision.

    Not that I'm complaining...

    Refs got Lowry out of the game on a super late shooting foul and immediately nailed him on a moving screen. Ouch.
