It wouldn't be hyperbole to say this is the BIGGEST game of the season for the Blazers! If Portland wins, the battle for the 8th playoff spot intensifies exponentially. If Portland loses, it would deflate their playoff hopes and destroy their will. This game is absolutely pivotal in how the rest of the season plays out. You don't wanna miss it. Same Blazers time, same Blazers channel.
I'm always pulling for wins and for the team to make the playoffs. Blazers gotta get this game if they want to make the playoffs. Go Blazers! Kjironman is a fan!!!
With that poll, Darkwebs really made us lay it out there! I probably would have preferred "indifferent".
might as well root for the playoffs. if we miss it, we will get like 13th pick or so. if we make it and get knocked out, 15th pick. lets go extra basketball!
Why would anyone NOT want it? The only time tanking makes sense is when there’s a generational player available and you suck enough to have a real shot at them. Neither applies now. People are dumb lol!
I am not too knowledgeable on this year's depth for the draft, but I think you are right. Now March Madness will give us a better idea of more players to consider but here is the thing for me, it seems like it is pretty easy to pick up young talent who might be just as good through other means. Look at 4 young players who have been on our team this year.......Skal, Hoard, Trent, and Gabriel. One was a 2nd round pick, 2 went undrafted, and one who was a past lottery pick. Is there much difference between them and some of the players in this draft.....say between say 10 and 20? Either way, we will have to develop them or they will not make the roster after 2-3 years.
