    Okay everyone. The Pels have a reason to win this game. They will play their starters at least as long as it takes to secure this win.
    Lets see how Scoot and company deal with this game?
    This would be a fun game to see the young guys ball out and steal a win.

    Didn’t even realize we were playing the pelicans today. Question ma’am, looking at our remaining schedule, do all our opponents have something to play for? Will they send out their top players?

    Three have something to play for. The Pelicans and Kings are vying to stay out of the play in and maybe catch the 5th seed. The Warriors are trying to get higher in the play in to play at home. The Rockets are out so they have nothing to lose. We will be seeing starters the rest of the way...though maybe by the time we get to Sac they might already be locked in...so we could see starters sit there potentially.

    Well "Sir". They certainly have not seen the "Top Players" much over the last month but yes some of these teams do need to win some games here to end the season. Wait??? Are the Blazers playing their "Top Players"? No? I guess we will see how the next week unfolds. We all know certain players like to rest against the Blazers if they don't need the win or don't feel they need to play.
    ----Next question? Are the Blazers still tanking? If not why not play everyone and spoil some playoff hopes?

    Neither are rebroadcasting the game at a later time, as they normally do.

    My guide says Kracken hockey but the game is on that channel. Some hockey fans are pissed off I’m pretty sure.

    Blazer broadcasting never fixed their audio switchboard. I'm hearing on court audio during the commercial break.

    WEIRD
