    3 wins doesn't even get you in.

    We were never getting in one way or the other.

    The game ends with Walker getting the ball stripped.

    Fitting.

    Never seen Chauncey happier than congratulating the opponent after we lose.

    Yeah that is pretty crazy.... Blazers have a #1 overall pick on their squad at center on a max contract.... and he's universally despised by nearly all fans.

    I'd rather have Drew Eubanks starting for us.

    Rough one to watch. No one really had it going besides Shaedon and that dude doesn't demand the ball when he's cooking... hell Shae doesn't even keep the ball when it's passed to him when he's cooking.

    You know what the best thing about Simons and Ayton is?

    They both have expiring contracts next season.

    I question if it was the best moves to have CJ or Meyers on those rosters with Dame at those salaries. Their skillsets didn't complement each other.

    But I never questioned CJ or Meyers effort, them deserving minutes, deserving touches, deserving shots, etc.

    This Ayton Ant Grant trio never made sense from the moment Dame was traded and it looks worse every day Blazer management has decided to continue with it.

    I assume one of them is a home game. Just wondering when that might be.

    I enjoy seeing Blaze's parade. Then it's usually downhill from there.

    These extra games don't count towards the record?

    Had chances to move them. Just trying to get the most out of them in return. Probably, not going to be much anyway. I do expect movement at the deadline.

    Incorrect, 3 wins (just swapping the days we won/loss with Hou) would have given us the group stage win since we'd have the tie breaker over both Houston and Minnesota, and we'd have advanced.

    We know it won't be against Houston, Dallas, OKC, or GS. Yes 1 road game and 1 home game. I think last year it was announced within a day or two.

    Guess it just depends on the three. If we had won tonight we would have still missed it with three wins.

    Yes, they do. There are only 80 games in the schedule right now.

    Two more are added to December.

    "Meanwhile, the 22 teams that don't reach the knockout stage will play two more regular-season games against opponents that haven't yet been determined on Dec. 12 or Dec. 13 and Dec. 15 or Dec. 16"

    The extra two games are just plain regular season games for the 22 teams eliminated from the cup.

    Heard the same story last trade deadline, last draft, last free agency, last summer league, before training camp, etc.

    THEY'RE STILL HERE
