    Yeah @Kenzo .... @abeer3 ’s Houston paranoia is getting to me too, like he said, in keeping with how 2020 is going.

    Giannis suspended, the Bucks have nothing to play for = the Grizzlies have to love it.

    Westbrook with strained quad. Will have to be reevaluated for the playoffs.

    It's an injury that lingers, unfortunately. So, basically, yes - he is compromised.

    @abeer3 reverse jinx strikes again! Just a few days ago he lamented some team like the Rockets would win the chip.

    No one ever feels sorry for us though, that's a given. PHX at least has a fairly likeable team. They were the best bubble performers and, frankly, would deserve to play in the playoffs.

    In any case, the Blazers can't lose tonight. If they do, they are out of the playoffs. And between MEM and PHX - the Suns would make it, most likely. Dame would be furious though... he'll score 80 if necessary, lol.

    If the Lakers can't beat Portland in the first round, they have no business being in the playoffs. I do not care who the Lakers face. The title is going to go through LA. Milwaukee, Boston, Toronto are all fallacies.

    I strongly agree with this. You have to be able to beat any of these teams. Now, if we lose against the Clips, you could say they were the overwhelming favorites from the beginning due to their depth and the established core & coach. It would be disappointing, sure, but at least we could understand it. Losing against the Blazers is just not an option for a true contender. They are a good team, Dame is a great player, but that's about it.

    Well, the Blazers are suddenly in trouble. If they make it, we're going to shred them. They are just awful defensively.

    If Portland just barely beat by 1 point nobody's from Brooklyn how can they cause any problems to Lakers

    I agree. Barely won by 1 in an elimination game. No worries here.

    Too bad about PHX, they were red hot.
