Blazers win this and we're likely the favorites to advance out of our group.

We'd own head to head tiebreaker over both 1 loss teams. We'd likely then only need to beat one of Sac or Clippers to advance.

Biggest Blazers game since Denver playoffs many years ago.

No disrespect, but you keep saying these games are the biggest since Denver so in so…….You really think that? And please correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t we move on the the WCF after that Denver series?
And this game Friday is simply a regular season game to these guys, nothing more. League wouldn’t want to hear that I’m sure.

Tough game. HOU has some exciting young guys; their vets I could take or leave. Winnable but must cut out those costly turnovers.

Well we are 12.5 under dogs in this game. Bettors don’t like us much in this game. Can we beat the spread?
