If we win If MEM and Suns lose and Spurs win - Spurs 9th I think Memphis loses to Bucks unless they sit starters (Giannis) maybe. Suns will probably win if Dallas sits starters who are locked in 7th and have nothing to go for except being the team to stop PHX from going 8-0. If Dallas starters play, suns could lose. Spurs could beat Utah. Do we want Spurs or Suns?
Not sure that the bucks are going to have a say in sitting GIannis, The league should be sitting him for a game or two.
Carlisle said he was playing Luka and KP because the league wants the stars to play the games that are on nationalTV. Well that game is on national TV, so Mavs should play their guys. Sorry Phoenix. Though I like the idea of Phoenix going 8-0 and still not making it.
Who I'd want (in order) 1) Memphis - Struggling 2) Suns - While hot, young and inexperienced 3) Spurs - Pop factor
I'm sure this is akin to how many cultures believe speaking about disaster invites it, but after decades of heartbreak, I can't help but think that the most "Blazer" thing ever would be for them to have played well enough to have their destiny in their own hands going into tomorrow's slate of games, and then to lose to the worst team on their bubble schedule--a team with absolutely nothing to play for--and be ousted from their spot in the play-in by the Spurs and the Suns.
Net have won 3 in a row and 4 out if six. They've beat the Lakers, Bucks, Celtics & Clippers, sure with so so rosters, maybe. The beat us earlier with 3 point shooting. We know Dame will show but we need scoring from Melo Nurk and CJ Trent will get his. We should be good if we play decent D.
Hey, a heads up...... IF our Blazers make the play-in scenario........Blazers Broadcassting is NOT covering the game. They become an exclusive for TNT/ESPN/ABC. So like yesterday, TNT may black them out here locally. Not quite sure yet.
That sucks. I also kinda miss Calabro. He got way more hype than Kent for big plays. Would have loved to have heard him call Dame's 61.
If Blazers Broadcasting isn't covering the game, then why the heck would TNT black it out for us locally? I don't think they would.
Really feel for all the bars - people without access to the games would be packing those businesses right about now.
Yeah, TNT blacked out yesterday's game locally because it was broadcasted on the local NBCSNW channel. But if NBCSNW isn't broadcasting the game, then they have no reason to black it out for us in this area.
