The bad news: Blazers have lost 5 road games in a row.

The good news: Blazers will have 7 straight games against teams under .500

Portland must win this game if they're serious about making the Playoffs. There should be no excuses this time.

I think this is a loss without Dame.

stampedehero · Feb 28, 2020

They are just as bad as the Knicks. At this point, if we lose, it's gonna sting.

Must win

Interesting that Skal is still out. That knee injury seems to be worse than most thought?

Both Clarke and JJJ are out right now.

The good news: the Hawks played tonight so they might show fatigue tomorrow.

The bad news: they destroyed the Nets. This will not be a gimme on their court.

Yeah, Hawks have won 7-9 at home. Still a game the Blazers have to win if they want that 8th seed.

kjironman1 · Feb 29, 2020

Vince Carter looking at this game and thinking "Hmmm I got one more highlight dunk in me pretty sure".

PDXFonz · Feb 29, 2020

Wow, so many people voting 1-20%!

Scalma · Feb 29, 2020

oldmangrouch · Feb 29, 2020

Do people even look at the actual standings? We are as close to 13 as we are to 8th.

By Monday, there is a good chance we will be in 11th. (we lose a road game to the Hawks while Sac-Town wins a home game against the Pistons.)

Yes but we have 7 straight games against sub .500 teams coming up and Grizzlies keep getting beat by better teams.

It's the closest he's going to get.

BAM!!!

TBpup · Feb 29, 2020

Any chance one of those sub .500 teams will be the #1 seed we could be up against in the Playoffs?

Yes but when your record is 24-36, that "playing teams .500 or below" doesn't quite have the same meaning.

DDolla · Feb 29, 2020

BIG Fat L .... please Blazers prove me wrong

the Hawks know how to tank. Has Capela even played a game for them?

I guess this could be another installment of "portland drafted the wrong Collins".

Young has been playing though. Maybe the Blazers are using the same strategy!

And when we lose to some of these sub .500 teams the better team will have won, too.

Were not good right now.
