    I've had my nights. What's better? I absolutely know A LOT about several former Blazers and what they liked to do. My brother is a recovering addict. Between parties I went to with him, and a few people I've met through his recovery, some Blazers (some expected, some shocking) like to have themselves a good time. It's one thing to not always be careful about the company you keep and worry about the rumors/things they say. It's another to allow photographic evidence. And be aware and pose.

    Not trying to play myself as a guy in the know. I'm sure some of the guys were never serious partiers but maybe dibble-dabbled on occasion. But some of it was still earth-shattering for me, growing up in the 80's as a young fan, having the love I had. And finding out in my 20's some of the truths. Of course, despite living the craziness I lived from 20-25, I would say I was pretty naive for most of my life.

    New Jersey is really fucking with us! They are in 100% tank mode. Losing to Washington big time. They are gonna have Gerald Wallace AND one of the top three picks!

    Yeah NJ just lost 3 easy home games. They needed to win 1-2 of those.
    Washington could also be a problem. They are looking better with Nene. They need to keep losing but they have some winable games coming up. We need to keep NJ in 4th or 5th. Charlotte, NO, and Washington all need to keep losing.

    For those who are "Team Tank" I believe that with a PDX loss tonight and a GSW win (@Houston) then we would move to the 9th spot in the draft. We would be tied with GSW and I believe they have the tie breaker.

    For those who are "Playoff Push" members then a win buy us and win by GSW pulls us within 2.5 games of the 8th spot.

    So either way we can all agree that we are GSW fans for the night.

    Side note the Utah @ Sacto game is impactful as well.

    I'm not just talking 80's. I'm talking 80's to as recent as 3 years ago.

    Hypothetical:

    If they win the #1 pick and we offer them LMA -- would this still work under the CBA?

    I noticed that Charlotte is at New Jersey tonight. That game might be comical to see who can throw the game more.

    Looks like I may have been wrong about NJ being instantly better with Wallace... However, them losing a bunch and ending up among the three worst records isn't necessarily bad. Let's say they finish at #3. Has there ever been a year under the current lottery system where at least one team hasn't moved up into the top-3? (I don't know the answer without researching, but it seems very uncommon.) That's all it would take to bump NJ down to 4th and we get the pick this year.
