    ... and four out of the five guys listed as starters won't play and by won't play I mean this game and maybe the rest of the season. That being said, I'm going to enjoy Shaedon Show so thanks for the correction.

    Are you asking what the Thunder are going to metaphorically beat us with tonight?

    Nah, just melancholically pointing out that the Blazers will have been swept two years in a row by the Thunder. Pathetic and embarrassing.

    It will be a real test to see how Sharpe does with Dort guarding him. Could be ugly, but those are the kind of moments he is going to have to go through to keep learning and growing.

    It's live NBA basketball and while it will likely be a blowout loss, you'll get to see one guy that I think will start for us next season (either Shaedon or if Shaedon hasn't progressed to that point Matisse) and guys that will likely get minutes off the bench for us next season. At this point I don't think Blazers losses have to be painful for us fans, they're just interesting. Interesting to see how guys perform, so we can make our novice evaluations of them. The losses only secure us a better chance at having the best asset possible as far as our first round pick in the upcoming draft is concerned.

    This is a game the young ones should practice defensive skills. Double and pressure Alexander the whole game and it might actually be close! Still not a fan of tanking/sitting starters until your are mathematically eliminated. Been with the Blazers since 1970 and the last 2 years of tanking (especially this year when they technically still have a chance) are just disappointing. I feel bad for season ticket holders or people that pay for NBA League Pass to just watch the Blazers. Nobody thought the Blazers had a chance in the "bubble" year, and they made it to the first round. To me any playoff experience is good for a team.
