I saw that Lebron and Doncic were sitting out. Wouldn't be surprised if Reaves was too

I sure hope Tou, Clingan and DB Hooper don't further fuck up our draft position.

I can't imagine those starting lineups will be what we see. This is the ultimate 'free tickets' game.

Last I checked they were charging $145 for 300 level. Sure that's changed.

for home court in the first play in game.

a suns win locks us in to 9th in lotto standings, regardless of what happens in our game.

a suns loss and portland win ties our odds for #1 with phoenix

Let's not play Banton in the second half. See how we can do without a PG.

Chauncey will bench Toumani/Matisse/ Clingan in the fourth.

I don't know how you can even possibly lose to this Laker team. They make our tanking teams are the past 2 years look like they belong at the top of the conference.

I can't even necessarily blame the Blazers here. Not sure we even have players bad enough on the roster.

Fucking Lakers.... hard tanking in the last game to fuck us.

And of course Phoenix is going to lose.

So do we know the difference of lottery odds if we win compared to if we lose yet?

If we lose we are 9th alone

If we win we are tied 9th with Phoenix with a coin flip to determine who picks first.

Suns seem like they are trying to tank the game, even though they don't have their draft pick

I haven't seen anything to indicate he has any skill or ability whatsoever yet, but Sidy Cissoko is one supersized guard. He has to be the biggest 6-6, 200 that's ever played for the Blazers.
