Tonight is our final regular season home game of the year. The Blazers are coming off a win in Utah Wednesday night. It would be nice to regain a little momentum heading into the playoffs. Our final two games are in San Antonio against the Spurs on Saturday and Sunday.

This game is SOOOO important for standings we need to definitely win this one.

No but it knocks them down one so the 6th seed is with in the Lakers reach (want the LA teams to know one of the other ones out). It also puts us up one while the Jazz just lost last night.
Re: Game Day: Blazers (41-29) @ Suns (48-21), Thurs 5/13/21
Unless dallas has tie breaker with LA, I have a feeling lakers might make the 5th seed. That would mean they play the Jazz in round 2, we would get Clips in round 2. That sets up what the league wants in the two LA teams playing in the WCF.
Re: Game Day: Blazers (41-29) @ Suns (48-21), Thurs 5/13/21
Mavs should beat the Raptors and Wolves but the Lakers will have a Fight with Indiana. Mavs and Blazers also have the tie breaker against the Lakers so I don't think the Lakers will get 5th. Even if they all tie it will go to the Mavs because they are their Division leader. So its either Lakers vs Golden state or LA vs LA. This is what I am seeing. I don't want the first scenario because they have a good chance to get the 7th or 8th seedIndy wrote: ↑Thu May 13, 2021 12:48 pmUnless dallas has tie breaker with LA, I have a feeling lakers might make the 5th seed.

This is why we needed another center. We have no depth at the position at all.

He would need to GO OFF offensively, because he will get roasted defensively.
This is also assuming he doesn't pick up 5 fouls in 10 minutes on switches on guards.
Re: Game Day: Blazers (41-29) @ Suns (48-21), Thurs 5/13/21
Yeah. my bet is that he his roasted on defense and gives us very little on offense. I am betting we end up with Crowder and Craig playing most of our minutes at Center if Ayton doesn't play.

Yea Nurkic biggest obstacle nightly is usually him getting tired or in his own foul trouble. He's a problem for most when he gets going

First Dario, now Ayton? Smells like load management to me.
