On the plus side their 2 best scorers are both having good games and we are right there with them. We slow one of them down in the 2nd half it might be enough.

Looking at the Blazers bench, they only have 9 points: Anthony (5), Carter (4).

so now you want us to lose

I want us to to put ourselves in the best position to win a round in the playoffs. Not get destroyed in a four game sweep by the Lakers.

Short term pain for long term gain.

You disagree. That’s fine. We see things differently.

Nurkic was so close to getting two Ts there.

Bridges is too much with 19 points. He even grabbed a rebound over Kanter.

Another timeout with Suns up by 5. Stotts is upset.

Being up 5 with book playing like poop and their guards going bonkers defies logic.

For such a good defender good guards take bridges off the dribble relatively easily.

It’s too bad the Denver Blazers game isn’t before the Clippers last game. That would likely make Denver go all out to win that with the chance to be the 3 seed. Them playing at the same time, they’ll be able to see if the Clippers are crushing OKC and if the game is out of reach, they’ll pull starters and make sure they’re healthy for the playoffs giving Portland a W to avoid the 7.
