Would it have been better in the long-run if the Blazers tanked post-All-Star break?

    Man, I just wanna stay ahead of DEN! All season long I've felt we'd make the POs, though before the trade I was becoming much less sure of that and actively rooting against it. But it's still not a sure thing that we stay ahead of DEN, so every game - even against lowly tankers - is super important. Slipping up against PHX, MIN or NOP could be a fatal mistake.

    I just wanna stay ahead of Denver but have them remain half a game behind us and have Memphis lose out. Nothing wrong with that right?

    Because if we lose, numerous threads about how shitty lillard is will get bumped. Regardless of how he plays.

    Why? Nurkic will be out about 4 weeks with this injury, meaning he'll miss the entire 1st round if we were to make the playoffs. The season just effectively ended.

    It's like we're tanking when we've got a good lead on Denver.

    The only thing this is good for is that we can see his mug in the starting lineup pictures Darkwebs makes.

    We need to clinch 8 spot as fast as we can so every game is a must win.

    I am now totally convinced that I could be a NBA coach, and kick some serious ass.

    Meyers may be starting doesn't mean he will play a large number of minutes...i think we will see a lot of Vonleh at center and even Aminu with hark at the 4 a bit...
