    Sigh. They're play more physical and tepa him. Theyll be able to shut him down more than anyone. 1 game doesnt change that, especially now that Nurkic is out.

    I poured wine at the first of two Channing Frye retirement parties. He has another after the game tonight. He gave us tix to the game, but not yet sure if we’ll attend tonight’s party.

    Wade was one of my favorite players until he teamed up with Bron and embraced the villain role.

    I remember this matchup really well.

    It’s Super Tuesday!

    OKC beats Houston
    Jazz beats Nuggets
    Blazers beats Lakers

    Is that what we all want in here?

    Maybe someone else commented on this already, but it's the first time I've seen it. So, Dame gets a warning for flopping after Plumlee pushes him in the chest? Sure, he exaggerated his fall, but how is it a flop if there was definitely a foul?

    It was the extra drama at the end. He definitely flopped. I shouldn't have shown the angle from behind in the replay, cause it really showed it. Can't believe they picked Dame to warm though. Of all the players that flop.

    Oh, he definitely sold that thing like a pimp on Broadway, but I don't see how they can call it a flop if he was actually fouled. Guys do this every night in the NBA. Harden does it every time he has a player within 10 feet of him.

    How can you warn about a flop when you are fouled. Fucking silly. I mean that is the dumbest thing I have ever heard of. Flop whenever you want I say. With a player sprawled on the court, opponents have clear advantage. And yeah don't even bring up Harden. He makes a living flopping, and a good one at that.

    is there a scenario to where we play the Spurs in the playoffs? or is it just either OKC or Utah?

    No no no, you really want OKC in the 1st round? I just dont get it, they would kill us. I see so many blazers fans cheering for an OKC win, just to get them to the 6th. No no no

    OKC beats Houston
    Portland wins out
    Spurs beat Dallas
    OKC loses to Milwaukee

    Portland gets 3 seed, Spurs get 6 seed.

    Im not sure why OKC is that scary to you. Could they beat the Blazers? Yeah of course. So could any of those teams down there.
    I think the Blazers would have a legitimate shot at any of those teams too though.

    The Nuggets/Jazz game doesn't have a big impact on Portland. I'd actually argue that we want Nuggets to beat Jazz. There is no possible way for Portland to get a higher seed than Denver.

    If Houston looses & Blazers win, Blazers would win 3rd seed with a win Wednesday night (Kings).

    OKC can get to 5th seed with 2 wins (Rockets/Bucks) AND 2 Utah losses (Nuggets/Clippers).

    It this scenario, the playoff match-ups would be Portland (3) vs Utah (6) and Houston (4) vs OKC (5).

    Yes, okc beats Houston tonight, we win our last two games, okc loosing their last game in Milwaukee and Spurs winning their last game against Dallas. But here is the problem, why should Milwaukee play their best players in their last meaningless game ? They have no reason to do that, i'm sure Milwaukee sends a G-League starting 5 on the court against OKC
