    Yep, which means like we thought, we will be in a must win tonight that we should win. I'm just glad that with the Suns winning the Grizz are too. I'd much rather face the Grizz.

    I agree. We want them to win and the Blazers to take care of business. I'd much rather have the Blazers the 8th seed facing the Grizzlies needing only one win than taking on the Suns.

    Grizz up 10 at the half; Suns up 19.

    Blazers not getting any help.

    Phoenix can definitely beat Portland twice.
    I don't think they will, but it wouldn't be a shock.
    Kudos, to Monty Williams.

    There was a very low chance of Memphis, Phoenix, and San Antonio all losing. But Memphis solidifies its spot in the play-in with a win.

    We just need to win also and we play Grizzlies as the 8th seed.

    On the bright side, the Spurs are just 24 minutes away from being eliminated.

    I love Monty but fuck him and fuck all of the ridiculous talent he has on that team. It is an awful shame that we will have to deal with them so much in future seasons. I'm glad we have Gary and Nurk, who should be able to limit Booker and Ayton but Bridges, he might be a problem if we don't end up with another defensive stopper on the perimeter.

    I literally can't watch half the time. This is not good for me.

    Could've also had Doncic (although I'm not sure he and Booker would've worked well together).

    I left all my guts on the floor after the Game 7 loss to the Lakers in 2000. I just eat on the toilet these days because it's a straight shot. (TMI?)
