    We look like we thought we locked in the third seed after the win in New Orleans. On the verge of a collapse.

    Actually, it wasn't, thank heavens. It's not a must win game until a team beats us three times in the playoffs.

    It's simply a matter of who hits the most three's and plays decent D.
    The Blazers live and die by the three most games. Their D has bailed them out some also, however, if they don't improve their shooting it won't , after what seed they finish.
    This game is absolute evidence of leaning to much on three point shots and hero ball.

    San Antonio is up double digits early.. but yeah, they'll lose this game and we'll beat the Rockets. Right.

    This one. Because we missed so many open looks. Thought the Blazers were flat energy wise all game except the last 2 min. The Mavericks were hot from 3, and just like Memphis, that's when you are gonna lose if you can't hit open looks. Hopefully Dame's ankle isn't as bad as it looked. Man that Mejri guy is an injury waiting to happen. He's so uncoordinated.

    We're good. It's one game. No one will care come playoff time. We're still in the driver seat. 5th best record in the NBA,

    Games aren't decided in the first few minutes. You know that.

    You haven't been paying attention if you honestly think we'll lose 5 games in a row to end the season.

    Unlikely without a healthy Dame. No Davis or Harkless to bring the heat on defense either. But weirder things happened, like losing to two of the worst teams in the last week.

    it could happen very easily but we will see what these guys are made of and if they are worthy of a three/four see.

    I think we'll fight out one win. But yes, I think losing all 5 is entirely possible. Stotts simply does not have it in him to make this team step up in crucial times like this.
