    Haha Blazers resting players to play the Worriers in a 7 game series. Sure why not. Funny question. Make it sound like the Blazers are one of the elites.

    Yeah much more important to play them in a meaningless regular season game you have no need to win after they all worked their asses off in the last month and more to get us into current position.

    When Damian misses 2 of 3 free throws, you know he's exhausted. Good decision.

    They do have a chance. It's a slim chance but it's a chance.

    That raises the question--What has a better chance of happening: Blazers with Dame/CJ/Nurk beat the Warriors 4 of 7, or Blazers without Dame/CJ/Nurk beat the Spurs tonight?

    Probably win tonight. Anything can happen in one game, so I'll go with the odds on that.

    Lol 6 players sitting? Sure. But that is because 3 have been out forever and still are. Technically they aren't a full-go either. Dejounte Murray is out for them.

    I do however wonder if pop changes his mind about playing his regular guys after hearing of the Blazers plans. Not much of a tune up scenario anymore.

    Who the heck is Jusuf Kurkic? And this Festus Ezeli guy, I don't recall seeing him in a Blazers uniform before.
