    remember, about a month ago, when the Blazers got 'lucky' and played Memphis 2 straight games at the Moda?

    Are you a Beavers fan? Or do you really think this?

    I really like the play in, it gives young up and coming teams way more chances for playoff atmosphere games.

    Memphis got some experience in the bubble and now pulled off a playoff birth. If it was just top 8 records they have two lottery trips.

    My problem with it is that the end of the season can be playoff atmosphere games as well and the fans get to see them at regular ticket prices. The Play-in will become a money grab.

    SportsCenter was just rightfully making a big deal of how good Ja was tonight but for some reason they talked about and put up a graphic about how he scored on Steph twice in the 4th quarter and OT. Um, Steph is a terrible defender. If Ja was Steph's assignment there never would have been an OT because Ja would have lit him up so bad.

    I'll probably regret saying it every time Morant torches us in the future, but I'm glad he and the Grizzlies are getting some solid playoff experience. Sure, the Jazz will send them packing, but that's part of it. He's looking to be the type of franchise player you want.

    Adding Klay isn't going to turn things around for them. The window is closed.

    Not an encouraging first quarter from Bud.

    Switching a little one through four, but Giannis is just not very good as an on-ball guy fighting through screens or chasing a shooter.

    We better see some Tucker at center in this game.

    Didn't use it much in the regular season for whatever reason though.
