?

Though he's not 100% healthy, Lillard says he plans to play this game. Should Dame play?

    He looked fine on the drives that he did take. Just needed to do a little more.

    We're good at home. And we'll have Ed back. And Utah will be on the second of a back to back after playing Warriors.

    Probably won’t happen? We damn well better be able to beat Utah at home if we want to do anything in the playoffs.

    Personally it really doesn't matter if they are 3rd seed to me. Home court would be nice but even that doesn't make winning in the first round any guarantee.

    Not to me. He looked gimpy all night. Tentative to explode. Settled for jumpers and 3's.

    That was some terrible D. We'll have to play better than that to advance in the playoffs. I think getting Ed back will help and hopefully Moe will be back by the playoffs. I still really want the team to get to 50 wins and there's no reason to think that we can't beat both Denver and Utah. Kinda disappointed by tonight's game but we still have our best ball ahead of us. Go Blazers!!!

    Now you are looking at them being on a B2B to get a win. Blazers need to get healthy. No need to play anyone until they are.

    I'd like to see a win against Denver but i highly doubt we will see that.

    There is lots of need. To give up home court advantage after working so hard for it would be a disaster and we would likely lose a series without it. So no, we need to win on Wednesday. Playoffs start Wednesday.

    I really don't know? Seems like they are kind a bottom half playoff team as it sits. If they win a series then that's great. But they are simply not a championship caliber team at this point. Second round will be as far as they can go. If they get to the WCF's i will come back and apologize for questioning them. But reality is setting in. Getting past the first round home court or not will be a big accomplishment.

    I will call Denver PD and put an APB out for CJ and Chief's game. If they can find it , the Blazers will be OK. My Daughter and I will represent and scream for our Boyz at Pepsi. Go Blazers!!

    4th quarter defense was absolute trash.

    Patty Mills is doing a nice job. An A/M of 1.0 tonight and a win.

    We looked much much better with Mo and Ed. We looked like a third seed with an outside chance of winning championship. Did you say this stuff during the win streak? Seems to me you're overreacting and kicking them while they're down.

    But does Dame give them the best chance at winning or does he not?

    Before I decide to go back and read this thread, was this loss on Stotts or the refs?
