    Two teams on the outside looking in to their respective conferences' Playoff spots.

    Two teams that are 2-8 in their last 10 games.

    Two teams with an undersized starting backcourt.

    One team is pretty much fully healthy. The other is injured beyond recognition.

    The Hornets will be on the second night of a back-to-back (3rd game of 4-game road trip), so even with injuries, this is a game the Blazers should win.

    And they need to win because the 3 games after this one will be on the road against teams all slotted to make the Playoffs.

    If the Blazers still want to make the big dance (post-season), they have to start racking up some wins.

    Didn't even know we had a game tonight.

    ugh, how depressing is this shit? I've used this team to escape reality the past few seasons. This team only gets me more down.

    Yogi Ferrell is forever grateful for our 'defense'.

    Please don’t... we need that lotto pick to avoid purgatory after Neil’s massive failure managing the salary cap.

    Blazers are currently 2 games back of the 5th worst record in NBA... I don’t understand how you think a loss to the Bobcats at home doesn’t impact draft position, especially with how difficult the rest of this month is.

    I've noted this on every stream the past week.

    It does, but people just say lottery pick in general like getting into the lottery at all is some whole difference. Maybe if you said 5th pick...
