Please make this a permanent quote at the bottom of your posts. It would be hilarious on about half of your posts.
"One game has nothing to do with another and you know that" that should be a permanent banner across the top of every game thread
It was the particular poster that posted it though that was truly amazing. The King of drawing conclusions from a single win or loss.
I think someone accidently made a thread saying the Blazers are accidently making the play-in. Had to be an accident.
That 5 game road trip at the end of the season will be interesting to see play out. Including the back to back against SA in Texas.
We have to field a team. The players we will play are playing well. Spurs might rest guys too by the way. They have an All Star and still a worse record than ours.
Drew Eubanks Keon Johnson Brandon Williams Kris Dunn Ben McLemore CJ Elleby Trendon Watford Elijah Hughes Greg Brown III Keljin Blevins that's 10 right there. Why do you think the Blazer signed Dunn?
We're not going to accidentally make the play in. We're going to duck under the Spurs and the Kings who are both still playing to win and both have a good chance of passing the Pelicans or Lakers because unlike us the Spurs and Kings have healthy rosters that if they can put it together are just as good as the Pelicans without a healthy Zion or the Lakers without AD. So while we've obviously already made the conscious choice to get as many losses as we can and the best draft pick possible the Spurs and Kings both have their core players that they'll have next season healthy and therefore will want to see what they can do or at least that's what they've shown to this point.
Where did you get all this front office knowledge about the Spurs and Kings and what their plans are? I just don't think the Spurs and Kings are as good as you think they are.
No front office knowledge, it's just obvious that they're playing all of their best guys big minutes and getting close to wins. You can definitely disagree with me and think they're not good enough to get the 3-6 wins to pass us in the standings but they're obviously playing to either win or just see what it is they have.
If Spurs are trying to win, they're doing a bad job. They've lost 7 of their last 9 and their All Star Murray sat out two of the losses. As for the Blazers, in the last two games, we were clearly trying to win and the coach is definitely trying to see what it is they have. How are the Spurs different than us in that regard? We'll see what happens. I honestly have no idea how it will shake out but I definitely don't assume the Spurs will beat us three times.
