    Thats a fair take, blow outs are boring, but Id really like to see some of those guys who are going to big minutes in the playoffs have a bit of a break mentally / physically.

    Can we please be bored by a Blazers win in a couple of blowout games? Easier on my blood pressure.

    If I pay for an expensive sports car, after getting it back from the shop I'm going to put it through the paces before taking the long trip..

    sometimes its nice to see us dominate though. Builds belief that we are a damn good team.

    I am too. For important challenges and top tier opponents. But the bottom feeders we should feed off of and when we don't, it raises my concerns and lowers my confidence.

    As far as seeding is concerned, I don’t care where we end up as long as we avoid OKC. I thought that before Nurkic even got hurt. Playoffs are about stopping, or neutralizing superstars. We have no one to throw at George, and Westbrook is more than capable of taking it to Dame.

    Utah jumps ahead of San Antonio as my second least desirable opponent after the Nurk injury. I don’t like the Gobert matchup for Kanter and their head to head numbers back up the concerns somewhat. That being said, I could still see this being a long series.

    In his postgame interview last night he made it sound like he didnt think he would play both games. He even said they’d look at the schedule and figure it out. Maybe I read too much into it.

    If Utah and OKC lose, we are 4 seed (can’t get 3 seed) so we should rest everyone and start Simons.

    We swept OKC last year and they had PG and Westbrook then. Also, even though we lost the last meeting, Dame scored 51. They can’t stop him.
