    Our magic number is still 4. And we have 4 games left in the season, so that means we still control our destiny (i.e., even if Denver wins their remaining 5 games, we can still make the playoffs if we win our remaining ones).

    Number Magic is 4. Win/ denver loses. Rockets have to win twonorrow to cut to 3, and us winning thursday to go for 2.

    Still Believe but very worried

    No more road games and no more back-to-backs in the remainder of the regular season for us.

    No matter who we put out there at center - we're pretty much playing 4v5.

    It's literally the only game on the west coast.

    Quick google searches are your friend.

    The margin for error w/o Nurk is unbelievable. Dame and CJ have to be hot for us to have a chance.

    I'd be ok with you skipping the keys of the game. We already know what they are....

    Thank you for putting all of that together, Darkwebs. You're an awesome Blazer fan!

    Sly, I think we need an Official Darkwebs Appreciation thread.
