Winning record! In April! A game that mattered! It’s all so, so beautiful after the last 4 garbage seasons.

this was for all the losers who wanted to tank again this year

gedbybee | Spurs

-30 | 9 hours ago

Yall should be tanking. Can deni be the number one on a contender? Who is gonna be that guy? Are you gonna sign him? Tanking is still the best way for small market teams to get top talent.

Edit: being barely in the playoffs is the worst place to build your team tbh.

gedbybee | Spurs

-13 | 6 hours ago

We won’t lol. We have several defenders for Deni, but alternatively can let him score and clamp everyone else. I know yall don’t have defenders for wemby and fox and castle and Harper. And then we have shooters.

I just don’t see how yall match up well with us.

Not every team gets handed a generational player that’s a perennial MVP candidate whenever they think about being bad.

gedbybee | Spurs

0 | 3 hours ago

Yeah but pretty much every championship team has a player like that. You tank till you get one.

EpicCyclops | Trail Blazers

6 | 3 hours ago

You really do not realize how fortunate your franchise has been. There is no guarantee you get a player that good from being bad. Look at the Wizards who have not had that player in my lifetime. Same with the Bobcats. The Kings. Normal teams don’t pull David Robinson, Tim Duncan, Kawhi, Wemby in the draft in succession. Some of it is having a well run operation, but a huge, huge portion of it was being lucky and pulling the #1 pick when generational talent happened to be there.

We were ass the year you got Wemby and were not rewarded with the #1 pick. We pulled Clingan in 2024, which was honestly not far off of anyone’s first round pick with regards to talent, and he’s not a brat player on a contender type. We were bad last year and got jumped by Dallas to get Flagg. We can’t just wallow in misery winning 20 games for a decade trading away talent for nothing. Only one team wins a championship every year out of 30. It’s okay to just be above average and shoot for 50 wins sometimes.

Just straight disagree but that’s ok. We had 50 win teams with lamarcus and I hated that cuz I knew we couldn’t win cuz he isn’t a winning player.

Blazers called up Garland’s number literally every play down the stretch and the Clippers defense collapsed

CloneWarsMaul | Celtics

36 | 12 hours ago

Avdija got whatever he wanted downhill, sprayed out to so many open guys for three. Garland is a cone

KL2ConspireLLC | San Diego Clippers

26 | 12 hours ago

That’s disrespectful to cone

InTheMorning_Nightss | San Diego Clippers

17 | 11 hours ago

Garland isn’t really a cone as opposed to just being straight up undersized. LAC is gonna need to figure out a scheme to not have him switch so easily. We tend to be way too willing to concede switches because we previously had Harden/Dunn/DJJ/Kawhi which can do that to some success, but it’s absolutely not the case with Garland + Collins.

dmac005 | Cavaliers

6 | 11 hours ago

DG tries but he’s just too small. Hard to hide him it’s always been an issue

InTheMorning_Nightss | San Diego Clippers

6 | 11 hours ago

You can only hide him so much, but conceding switches to have him match up against Deni is insane, especially when Deni is shooting 31% from 3 this season.

Like just have the defender go under the screen and stick with him instead of just… letting the switch happen?

InTheMorning_Nightss | San Diego Clippers

Jrue looked completely unstoppable and Deni got whatever he wanted. Surprised LAC hung around with how bad they played, but props to the Blazers for walking in and playing with incredible intensity from the start.

EatBootyLoveLife | Trail Blazers

hell the 7th seed might be up in the air. suns are about to play 4 playoff teams (including okc and lakers) in their final six. If they lose one of the other two and portland wins out they drop. Totally not cope. Blazers will for sure beat san antonio and denver.

Timelord is gonna get a bag somewhere, but I fear it’s not with us. Really hope we can keep him.

shakakaaahn | Trail Blazers

16 | 11 hours ago

Teams aren’t going to be giving him big $, since you can’t expect more than 40-50 games of 18 minutes per game. He honestly fits well here, we should be trying to keep him.

Scoreboard does not reflect the effort situation this game. Blazers out dawged the Clippers for sure.

zggystardust71 | Clippers

19 | 12 hours ago

Clippers were rough tonight. Bench was cold, lots of turnovers, Portland beat them to loose balls and rebounds. Give Portland credit. They shut down every Clippers push.

Clippers have a 1 game cushion in the loss column and one more game with Portland left.

shakakaaahn | Trail Blazers

And it’ll be the second to last game of the season. Crazy important seeding game right at the end.

If the Blazers get the 7 seed, we will be swept by the Spurs.

If the Blazers get the 8 seed, we will win game 1 and then completely annihilated for the next 4 games after that

I have been unironically wanting to see more of this matchup for so long!

InTheMorning_Nightss | San Diego Clippers

16 | 11 hours ago

Absolutely brutal loss. Portland’s size definitely hurt us, but they showed up and played with immense intensity and treated it as a must win… and LAC did the opposite, and now there’s a very real chance we land at the 8th seed. Props to Deni and Jrue who truly just stepped up to win it for Portland.

On the other hand, we shot ourselves in the foot *every* single time we gained momentum. Cut it to 10 and they lob a terrible pass in transition that leads to an easy Blazers bucket. String together stops and buckets, and John Collins just straight up bobbles the ball for a back court violation and BroLo smokes an open layup. And obviously worst of all, we play 20 seconds of good defense, and are just allergic to rebounds.

The biggest concerns are just flaws in our roster. Having no size outside of BroLo after losing Yanic was really tough, and now missing iJax is just fucking killer. Then couple that with the fact that we have guys who shoot good 3P%, but outside of Garland and Kawhi, none of them are consistently threatening shooters. We have a *really* weird team with notable flaws and the injuries we have is crippling. Oh and Mathurin seems to just disappear when his physicality is matched + he has defenders who can poke away his poor handle.

It’s kind of a shame that Mathurin and Miller both are slashers/attack the rim with limited shooting. They really just kill each other’s spacing.
