    All my energy will be dedicated towards rooting on the Blazers to get the #1 pick in May.

    Nothing else matters!

    NBA is a joke. Once blazers are eliminated I don't watch any more NBA.

    Hell, it's that way during the season too lol

    Definitely rooting against Boston so that they’ll trade Brown to us. Likewise with Philly and Milwaukee. Rooting for Knicks (home team), Kings (light the beam), and Hawks (underdog with talent). Also- want Lakers to miss playoffs. Also maybe we get Draymond if Warriors lose.

    I won't be watching much of these playoffs, but i do hope for a Denver/Knicks matchup in Finals. My buddy is a Nuggets freak, and Denver is finally paying attention to their team, and i love Josh Hart. I will boycott any series featuring the Lakers, Celtics, or Warriors. If those teams never win a title again , it would be too soon. I don't like the Grizzlies either. Their fanbase is fickle & overrated. And i don't care for Jaws or Dillion Crooks at all. Plus the fact the refs let the Grizzlies hack , slap, and grab in the old Grindhouse days turned me off as well. There was a reason they were #1 in defense.

    I've always liked the Knicks. But they don't have a snowball's chance.

    As a Blazers fan first and foremost, I am rooting against any team whose quick or unexpected loss might create a bit of team turmoil from which the Blazers could benefit. So I will be rooting against:
    • Boston: Jaylen Brown
    • Miami: Jimmy Butler
    • Toronto: OG/Siakam
    • Brooklyn: Bridges (although I don't think Brooklyn losing quickly in round 1 would change anything for them).
    • Clippers: Paul George
    • Minnesota: Gobert/KAT (not sure I want either, but I think having them on the market would help)!

    Root for chaos to give the Blazers a chance at some of these players.

    Won’t watch much of the east, until their conference finals. Some pretty boring teams….but the west, man every matchup looks great! Rooting for the Clippers to go 7 games. @THE HCP is headed to PHX this weekend to work for them thru the first round. Need some cash for when the summer slows down for me.

    You’re forgetting the Mrs HCP has shown me your sex tapes, or in her words, short subjects. I know bad visuals
