A road win, regardless of opponent, is always something to celebrate. The team is nearing a win total that 'experts' felt would be 36-ish. Again, injuries rattled the roster throughout the year and the defensive focus waned a bit, but this group has put smiles on our faces and provided hope for an improved future. RIP CITY for life 🏀
No 10th seed has ever reached the playoffs, but 8th is a different story…
the team looks fantastic with Deni returning to shape. i enjoy watching them very much. and not too concerned about the 4th quarter when the game was supposed to be done, and coach needs to allow Deni more rest.
The officiating in this game was so weird. Not favoring one team in particular, it just felt like they wanted it to be over so they could make a dinner reservation.
Comment from yesterdays program: Portland best draft move (my opinion) swap 2026 1st with Miami + Kele Ware. Move Miami pick to Chicago to fulfill that obligation freeing up our future 1st's.
Also, do we think DC is on a minutes restriction right now? He's been at 25 in a number of the last few games
Nah that 8 seed is looking really good actually. Howeverrrrrr idk if I would rather play the thunder or the spurs. Kinda feels like we’re better against the thunder.
DC not playing in crunch, after he earned it? Wrong call.
If the blazers beat Minnesota if
Big word if
Watch out phoenix has lost 3 in a row
13 games left
If phoenix goes 4-9 rest of the way blazers can go 9-4 and catch them only 5 games back
Deni had a bad stretch of turnovers an blocks received in the 4th, the 1 minute rest he got at the end was more of letting him reset, and it worked, cause on the next 2 possessions he assisted the Jrue 3 and sealed the game with 2/2 ft
