    I know still 18 games left but looking at the standings, if the Clippers dont move up to 2nd and we stay at 6th, we're really fucked

    We won't be staying at 6. I think we finish close to .500 at the end of the year. That would put us at the bottom end of the play-in.

    I will catch the tail end. Going for second vaccine tomorrow and taking myself to dinner. I think a glass of wine is in order. Only one since I do need to drive home.

    Roster wise, sure. But he's Stotts' boss and has allowed him to be terrible at his job for years.

    The Game is Friday. If Tomorrow is Thursday and you are only having one glass of wine you should be okay?
    Unless????

    I wonder who was so good that the Spurs dumped Aldridge? I'll check Darkwebs' opening post to see this talent.

    Is this a self-own?

    I think Neil has been spot on for a while. Got Curry, Hood, and Kanter for two 2nds back in 2019. The moves on the 2019 offseason were good on paper. He's been aggressive lately, but it seems some people wont be happy until CJ is traded for a hypothetical forward.

    Ah, I see. Looked him up. Stats almost as good for 1/10 the price. $2M vs. $20M.

    I wish Olshey thought that way about McCollum.

    Actually, I think a matchup with the Clippers is our best chance to advance. You’d rather play Lakers?

    We aren’t going 5-13 to end the season lol. Not with the way Nurk is starting to play. We have much better chance of going 13-5. No matter how many times you say it, this isn’t the worst Blazers team ever. It’s actually Top 10 best.

    just a month ago we were at a all time high. Right there for that 5th seed and Dame playing like the MVP. After that Dallas blowout it’s just been downhill. You just knew the hard part of our schedule would bring us back to reality. It sucks we picked up some great personnel in the offseason, and I know this team has greater potential than they have been able to show.

    We won't finish 13-5. Everything would have to go right from here out and the last few games would have to have the Jazz and Phx locked in and resting starters to win those. If we get to play the Lakers without Lebron and AD we might win that game. We have two against the Spurs, we probably win won of those. We have three against Memphis gotta win all of those...likely will win maybe 2 out of 3 of those. We should beat the Hornets. We will likely lose to the Clippers. We have two against DEN without Murray. We will win at least 1 probably. We will probably lose to the Nets, Pacers, and Celtics. Maybe beat the Hawks. Beat the Cavs and the Rockets.

    If it goes as said above that's 10-18 maybe 11-7

    Certainly not on a message board but i would for sure. I learned many years ago not to bet on a massage board when a dude named BendBlazer22 decided to make a bet he didn't want to pay when he lost.

    Now if you would like to make a friendly wager? Maybe I'll buy you a drink at the next meet and greet? I would jump at the chance. Not only that i think i would win but i would gladly buy ya one anyway!
    Now be prepared. I no longer drink alcohol but i do drink Non Alcohol drinks and they can be just as spendy. Heck even coffee these days can be a $5 drink.
