    Probably the one opponent I'm totally fine with us winning even if it screws up the tank.

    Fuck the Lakers.

    The thought of Elleby, Winslow, and McLemore starting against a Lakers team with LeBron and Davis has me really wanting a Blazers win here.

    Lakers close to full strength; should be no problem tanking this one.

    You have to go for the jugular in this game no matter the tank. You have the potential to break the Lakers with a W here. Let Westbrick shoot as much as possible.

    Yup.
    • Trail Blazers' Josh Hart: Not listed on injury report
      Rotowire 1 HR AGO
      Hart is not listed on the Blazers' injury report ahead of Wednesday night's game against the Lakers, Sean Highkin of Bleacher Report reports.

      Hart was just traded to the Blazers on Tuesday afternoon, and he remained in New Orleans to watch the Pelicans' game on Tuesday night, so this will be a situation worth monitoring over the next several hours. His exclusion from the injury report implies that he'll be available to debut Wednesday night, but given the circumstances it would not be surprising if he ends up sitting out.

    Great point! Got to lose to anyone except the Pels , especially those near 7-8-9-10 like the Lakers.
