    Must win! That gets you the #8 seed and then you only have to win 1 of 2 games in the Play-in.

    Go Blazers!!

    So Dame follows up his fiddy burger game and drops 60+ on the Mavs.

    Is he going for 70 this game?

    Except that the Nets have been on a TEAR, so we expect a tough game.

    So the Nets have absolutely nothing to play for. They are in the 7th spot. They will be playing the raptors.
    The Blazers will know exactly what has to happen when this game starts.
    It might be settled but i highly doubt that will be the case.

    So, this game is a complete unknown. We don't know if we'll need to win it until right before. We don't know who the Nets will play and for how long. We don't know if the Nets will try to win it. We don't know if we will try to win it. We don't know the status of CJ. We do know that if we need to win this game to secure that number eight spot that we will win it because we know we will have Dame, Nurk, Melo, GTJ, Zach, Hassan, Rio and if Stotts chooses to use them Ant, Nas, Wenyen and even Hoard. I have to think with what was "leaked" about CJ's back and how he's been playing that we either won't see CJ or won't see much of him so I think that will make Stotts play some of our younger guys. However like I said, who knows what the fuck will happen, how it will play out, who will play it out or why it will be played out the way it is but we do know when it will be played and that we will secure the eighth spot whatever it takes.

    What’s the trap? We’ll likely be playing for our lives.
