    Harkless won't play either. It'll be the same rotation as the spurs game. At least that's how I see it

    If he even plays. He was in uniform against the Spurs, just so we'd have the league mandated 9 players in uniform, but didn't play a second. Might see the same thing tonight. That way he won't even be put in the situation where he could blow his bonus, or get criticized if he passes up wide open 3-pointers.

    Team should just tell him right now that he gets it either way (if he even plays). If he bricks a last second shot, and we lose, we POSSIBLY could move up in the draft. Win/win all the way around. (and I would rather get the win....)

    Will be interesting to see how it plays out. Its gonna cost the team 500k FOR SURE, if they sit him...

    That clause wasn't put in there in hopes he wouldn't get it. If he gets it, he earned it. I swear sometimes I think the fans care more about the payroll than the guy actually signing the checks.

    Not BS, I'm serious. And after the first round of the playoffs that will be the end of Blazer games being broadcast locally for free.

    I was starting to write this up myself. CLE and MEM have been the two worst playoff-hunt teams in the league over the past 10 games. Our picks have steadily been getting better, and we have the chance to have these 3 picks.

    Heck, even a week ago it looked like we were destined for #22 and #27. Chance to move to #18 and 23? Awesome.

    As many have said, I don't think Mo plays tonight. If he does (in a meaningless game where Patty Ice is starting that literally has no way to have a positive effect through winning), there's no way I'm going to hold against him if he chooses to take the Travis Outlaw 1-dribble-pullup-22ft special every time. Get that 500k, homie.

    There were so many games a year free on KGW including the first round of the playoffs that weren't being broadcast nationally.

    That ends this year.
