    If the blazers can get the 7-seed and play a non-OKC team then I think that would be the best outcome (assuming we don’t have a crystal ball and don’t know whether they’d jump to the top 4). If they end up in the 8/9 game, I’d rather they lose and have one more shot in the lottery. I think OKC is just so much better and more experienced that it would be uncompetitive enough to not really be able to collect much data from. They’d still benefit from knowing what 4 extra games feels like on their bodies, but this draft is supposedly so much better than next year’s draft that I’d just rather have the pick be this year. And if they’re concerned about the 2028 swap, I’m sure Chicago would trade that pick back with a meaningful asset to get the #13 pick this year, or be willing to remove the protections from that pick for 2027

    denver plays tonight against the clippers hopefully they prioritize this game and are just looking to get the trip over tomorrow night

    If Portland always wins against sub .500 teams and always lose to above .500 teams (including the next three games in a row!), they will end up with 44 wins. If Golden State does the same, they end up with only 42 wins. They only need to tie to win the tie-breaker.
    So do not give up hope if the Blazers don’t get a W in the next three.

    clippers are 3-1 since trading away harden and zubac, including wins at minnesota and houston. with garland rumored to be back playing in march, blazers are not finishing above the clips
