    It's a winnable game. Jazz will be on the 2nd night of a back-to-back, and Blazers are tough at home.

    I dunno if what we just watched should be categorized as "tough". Maybe "tough to watch"?

    If NO beats DEN tonight, then we can clinch with a win on SAT.

    Then we rest Dame and CJ until Game 1. These dudes looks WORN OUT.

    As to the poll question, I don't think it matters. I doubt Denver wins 3 of their final 4, so even if the Blazers lose out, I think they're in the playoffs. That said, I hope Denver wins out forcing us to actually play well in order to earn the spot.

    How's Exum doing? Became a starter for them? I like this team, with Hood, Hayward, Gobbert, Favors and they have some nice bench players (I like Withey, who was actually a Blazer for a bit before being traded for RoLo IIRC). Don't like the Jazz as a franchise of course but I like what they're doing with the team as they have some really nice players

    RE the poll: That tank has sailed. Or something like that. Play the games; what happens, happens.
