    Need a loss here not only to stay in front of Sac, but to help SA stay within reach of the Pels.

    How come year after year the end of the season the Blazers have to play their hearts out to end the season but this year it seems every opponent is tanking?

    Interesting that they fly out of PDX now. They used to fly out of Hillsboro.

    I don't think this opponent is even close to being in tank mode. In fact the only opponent we'll have to out tank during these last six games is OKC and I think we'll out tank them because we just did even if it was by the skin of our teeth or maybe it was by the skin of theirs... who can be sure in this situation.

    The point is that these next two games against the Spurs are going to be them giving it their everything with a much better active roster and us playing a bunch of guys who can't win games but have to try their best just to secure their future. McLemore is an exception to that and for the life of me I can't figure out why he's still getting so much or any playing time.

    Blazer 1 stopped flying out of Hillsboro in the early 90s I believe.

    after tonight, 5 games and 9 days left to this season. I was going to say disaster of a season, but it saw Olshey fired and the Dame/CJ duo finally broken up, as well as the emergence of Ant and possibly 2 lottery picks. Wasn't all disaster

    No, I think talent will win out by the end of the game.

    Giving Murray the night off is pretty disrespectful but it makes you wonder if we deserve the respect.
