Memphis out. A much healthier Portland Trailblazer team now the 8th seed in the West to face the Lakers.
This actually validates the seeding games which just took place. An injury decimated Portland team took the off time to get healthy and now assume the role of hopeful LeBron slayer in the first round in the West.
I’d much rather face No. 7 Dallas or No. 6 Utah than this Portland club. I might even go as far to say I’d rather face No. 5 Houston than this team.
So this is kind of interesting. I’m sad we won’t get to see Ja Morant in the playoffs as he was easily my Rookie of the Year winner. But this makes the Lakers take notice that they could actually be playing the third most dangerous team in the West in the first round.
Ask yourself this… would you rather play the Nuggets or this Portland team with Lillard and McCullum in the first round who now have Collins and Nurkic back to round out the lneup.
This is good for the bubble. The bubble needs all the help it can get to make this a more compelling watch than Shark Week.
Go Portland!
Loving Portland and hey they are the Seattle team 🙂 The play-in game vs Memphis was great and then there is CJ, I feel like i know him since meeting his dad.
The Thunder were not at their best today and need to step it up on the offence. Even without Durant the Rockets were very good. Tough match-up.
love you,

You meant Westbrook. Durant plays for the Nets. The Thunder were abysmal without the physicality of Lu Dort. He’s their one real man on the team and without him they play like Wayne Gretzky. SGA played like a girl. If he’s the future in OKC Sam Presti might want switch to the WNBA.
Portland could be the second best team in the West. This Laker team is not the same roster we saw before Donald Trump bungled the pandemic and brought the world as know it to a screeching halt.
I pretty much called it. That’s why the little bitches banned me at Daily Thunder. Their insecure millenials got weary of me beating their asses day in and day out.
Michelle Obama rocked.
Biden is actually leading in Oklahoma County right now. Pretty amazing. And people are wearing masks.
