The nets are the type of team that can beat the Blazers, but I don’t think they have anything to play for.

They were after the 7 seed, now it’s clinched.

Suns will make the biggest jump next season, imo 4-6 seed.

If the Nets beat the Blazers it will be Memphis (8) vs Suns (9). Both teams would have an identical record of 34-39.

Jeeze. Dame’s scoring the last 4 games: 61, 51, 22, 45.

Nets didn’t play LeVert, Harris or Allen last game. Doubt we see them tonight.

No they own the tiebreaker with Utah and OKC also owns the tiebreaker with Utah so Utah has to be 6.

Good Night Irene!

Should be an extended stretch of pain now in San Antonio which makes me happy.

Imagine being able to replace your franchise player in Duncan with Kawhi Leonard without an extended period of losing, then losing him for DeRozan and being stuck in mediocrity for who knows how long.

The way the Blazers play defense... do we want them to win instead. Their guards can’t guard at all. I’d put both of them in pnr with Bron every time.

They should have went quick so if they missed they could foul... must hurt to be a Suns fan right now. They won by one point. Lakers should fear none of the teams for the 8th seed.

I'd rather face portland than phoenix tbh. The blazers barely beat the nets while the suns have been rolling in the bubble.

I didn't think that way for a while, but after watching both teams a little closer, I think you've got the right idea.

Levert, why didnt you drive on CJ? I mean not that it's gonna matter. Lakers gonna sweep whoever gets the last playoff spot.
I loved how Dame's teammates weren't really coming through in the 2nd half. Can happen at times when one guy dominates the ball. The other guys hopefully get out of sync.

If we face Portland I hope they don't trap Dame that high and start leaving POR shooters open. If Dame wants to keep shooting those deep 3s then let him have them. Shutdown the rest of the guys and see if Dame can score 50-60pts every game.

you let scrubs beat you and not the superstar.

you absolutely double team him and let others make shots when the pressure is on

This portland defense is putrid, some of the worst I've seen in years.

Hopefully LA get's an offensive rhythm going against them.

You guys seriously think the Suns would be a tougher match up? almost all there guys have zero playoff experience, you think they can rise to the occasion in a tough playoff bubble environment? Come on now, the Blazers are our toughest 1st round opponent.
