    Ayton with another BIG game.
    Ant pouring in points.
    Murray trying for the stealth tank and Billups obliging by having him in instead of Banton.

    Blazers beat a playoffee team. Big confidence booster. Road to the Championship next year.

    I’d rather have better draft odds

    The Hornets get a win making it seem like we'll have a chance to get the fourth slot in the lotto and then we dig down deep and win one ourselves. Playing Ant and Deandre way way too many minutes. Maybe it will be both of their last games of the season.

    Cronin said no more stepping back. This summer is the last crop of rookies, then full steam ahead like the Rockets play-in contender. Not full playoffs, otherwise Chicago gets Portland's pick.

    I can't even think about draft position and enjoy the game so I let the ping pong balls just fall where they will....our late 2nd round picks are Camara and Walker...it's not the pick, it's what you do with it. We have about 9 rookies as it is

    Joe is so full of shit. The dude says one thing and does the opposite almost always, yeah he lies to us much more politely than Olshey but I don't trust the dude at all... and it's not actually his job to tell us what to expect so I don't hate him for it or anything I just roll my eyes because the dude just says what he thinks will be good PR and has not yet followed through.

    The size of the pick matters. Look at Wemby!

    Blazers have 4 picks this summer. There will have to be a rookie purge.

    I think this draft will be easier to move up in too. No way do we use both second rounders. Use them and the Warriors pick to move up into the top 9. Many ways to go.

    We'll likely just end up in the 5th spot which got us to number 3 last year and this draft doesn't have a huge prize at the top anyways. I just don't get running our most talented guys until their wheels fall off when we're in this situation.

    Depending on who gets #1, #3 and the Warriors pick can get us #1 should we want to.
