    Wizards shot 5-33 from deep (15%). They missed dunks, shot airballs, yaaa... DC is definately a front runner for ping pong mania

    The TV broadcasters are overlapping audio of game highlights during Billups post game interview. Nobody can hear a damn thing... lol

    Why? Doesn't effect the lottery odds.
    It was a very long shot to get to #4 regardless... and in this draft - you probably don't even want to have the #1 pick

    not true....it wasn't that long a shot at all

    in fact, if the Blazers had lost the last two games, right now, they'd be tied with San Antonio for 3rd seed in lottery balls

    looking at remaining schedules, I'd say the odds would have been Portland ended up at 3rd

    Murray shoots threes like he's either cross-eyed or has double-vision. Or maybe he just doesn't look at the rim? Can't see it?

    Kris will be a Blazer 4 life. They'll have time to work on his stroke. His form looks smooth, they're just clunking off rim.

    Yep. Winning these last two games was absolutely ridiculous.
    Everyone praising Ayton right now needs to look at who he was playing against. Banton won't be playing next year. Scoot played two games vs nobody and kind of looked good.
    Spurs just beat the Pels and the Hornets just beat the Magic but I'm betting those teams did that because the Blazers won the last game. Every Blazer win gives them another game they can actually play and try to win.

    It's kind of amazing that the coaches have been able to help Banton and Scoot really up their three point shooting but can't do anything with Murray.

    Banton probably won't be on the team next year but Murray will be.

    Bannons contract is cheap, and he's the kind of player the team wants (tall for his position).

    I would bet he's on the roster next season.

    Maybe? I just hope the team is trying to win next year. If that is the case I doubt he is playing much.
