    You're probably right but then again we do play a team 5 games ahead of Boston on Tuesday. Then we'll have to see if Golden State will need wins to stay out of the play-in when we play them.

    Another game against a quality opponent but they will sit every starter.
    This shit gets old. The Blazers suck and the entire league knows it. Course a bunch of people are going to call Demi and Scoot/Sharpe the future.
    Facts are they are playing nobody at this point.

    I am all about another win, which we should've gotten in Boston if not for freaky shooting from the Celtics' bench. Let's do this!

    youre not wrong but they just beat a Denver team by 20 with
    Jamal Murray
    Aaron Gordon
    Michael Porter jr
    Christian Braun
    Westbrick

    those are championship pieces and solid veterans

    it’s not like they just beat the wizards

    The last time Boston did that, White/Pritchard went for 80+ and both had career highs. Let's hope they play a little more defense tonight.

    Tells me I’m right. The Blazers may very well play a close game and even cough cough WIN!
    There should be a rule that a team can’t rest all its starters if the last team rested their starters against the same team.
    That way at least the fans who buy tickets get to see half of the teams that they pay for.

    No Jokic sorry. That team is not the same without him.

    Somehow that team without Jokic and Murray beat the team below, in San Francisco. Steph Curry played 36 minutes.

    Why didn't Golden State win?

    The last time Golden State had a lead in this game was with 1:46 left in the 1st quarter. This was not a come-from-behind or sneaky win for Denver.

    Speaking of the Wizards, they beat the healthy Nuggets in Denver.

    From the previous game:

    @deniavdia8 is the third player in the NBA this season to record a game of 36+ pts, 8+ rebs and 7+ asts on .750 or better FG%, joining Ja Morant and Anthony Davis.

    Avdija is just the second Trail Blazer to reach those numbers in a game (Clyde Drexler, 11/13/90).

    come on DC can't be left on Tatum. BOS is not a good matchup for DC.
