    Funny, I'd normally be thrilled with this news. A win is a win. But I have friends coming over so I want them to be entertained and I feel like it would be more exciting if OKC was playing their stars.

    If Dallas wins, we clinch playoffs with a win but I'm going to root for Houston to give us a little breathing room from Dallas who is only one loss behind us and owns the tiebreaker.

    Yeah good point, he can certainly score. I was thinking Cameron Payne; that guy can put up buckets. Morrow is a deadly shooter.

    Yeah thats what I'm rooting for. If Memphis then losses their next two we'll clinch the 5th seed with a win on Saturday which gives us a full week to gameplan for the Clips and have a practice game to finish the regular season.

    Can we stop the narrative that these guys are tanking tonight to avoid us?

    They did just wax us by 30 a few weeks back

    So what? How did the game before that go? What about last year? They know Portland gives them trouble. Memphis wouldn't. Once again, it's just logic

    So are they really resting 4 of their starters, or just Westbrook? I've heard they're resting just Westbrook tonight.

    We lost by 25+ in OKC earlier. Took Dame getting on fire eek out a win. We should be the ones trying to avoid them, not the other way around

    I hate this. We're JUST in position that we can't rest our starters for a game. And OKC has that luxury; if they lose out, they're still likely in the playoffs.

    Uhhh... we have a 1% shot of not making the playoffs... lol. We just need to win one game and houston lose one game and we're in.... I'd say we're fine.

    I honestly think the Blazers match up better with the Thunder than Clipps. Russ and Westbrook are great, but Ibaka has regressed and their bench is brutal. CP3 just seems to own the Blazers.
