    Some of that will depend on the teams in the East actually cooperating but yes. We can't improve or hurt our position now so there is still time to Tank if we want.

    Team might want to hit .500 for morale reasons though...

    Most likely. If voters were on the fence then this image probably sealed it for him.

    I think until today it was going to Harden.

    I'm so conflicted.... but I think I'd rather it go to WB anyway.

    I hate Harden. I hate the Rockets. I hate Rocket fans.

    Fuck em.

    lol you know what the sweetest part of this all was?

    We got Nurk, a mid first round pick, and Denver's playoff spot... for Mason Plumlee

    Last year was the learning and teaching experience. This year, we take the Warriors down. We're a better team this year. Warriors are worse.

    One might go as far as to say Nurk will have "Happier Summer"

    I will say this about RW, the dude stayed in OKC. He could have easily left for LA or someplace big. He signed an extension and didn't put them through all the KD bullshit. I respect him for that.

    1 year extension for an additional $40M. Not really all that admirable.

    I mean I'm glad we made it, but this warriors team is a shitstorm to deal with. AC was in a boot. Ed Davis? Nurkic status? I guess not making playoffs wouldn't of changed the pick we get that much but when we are getting steam rolled by the warriors this whole thread will change from positive to a whole other type of negative

    Nothing negative will come out of making the playoffs... Blazers found their Center of the future, have the youngest roster in NBA, will have playoff experience against best team in NBA for 2 straight years, and have three 1st rd picks in a deep draft... we have a real bright future. If Nurk comes back, I honestly think we have the fire power to beat Warriors... not saying it's gonna happen, but think it's possible

    I'm all for making the playoffs and experience I'm just saying, the threads will get wild when the warriors start dismantling us. Don't want it to happen just being realistic

    I mean we played them as well as anyone not named Cleveland last playoffs. We upgraded our center position, and they downgraded theirs. We have a massive advantage if Nurkic is out there, and we have players who match up well with their players. You can go ahead and think that we only have the 1% chance to beat them that the #THEY are giving us. I'll be over here hoping that our players are playing their best games, cause I know we can win this series if that happens.
