    Blazers win this and we're likely the favorites to advance out of our group.

    We'd own head to head tiebreaker over both 1 loss teams. We'd likely then only need to beat one of Sac or Clippers to advance.

    Biggest Blazers game since Denver playoffs many years ago.

    No disrespect, but you keep saying these games are the biggest since Denver so in so…….You really think that? And please correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t we move on the the WCF after that Denver series?
    And this game Friday is simply a regular season game to these guys, nothing more. League wouldn’t want to hear that I’m sure.

    Tough game. HOU has some exciting young guys; their vets I could take or leave. Winnable but must cut out those costly turnovers.

    All playoff games are bigger, last playoffs we played was first round loss to Denver which is what I'm referencing. If you think there has been a bigger game since then please let me know which one.

    Appreciate the insight, maybe players do think that right now.

    If the Blazers win and have a chance to play in Vegas with all the national media all the sudden asking for interviews they will think different. Blazers have 1 national game this season which is more about Dame than any Blazer player.

    Yeah I certainly expect us to lose this one, will be a very pleasant surprise if we can somehow win it.
