Let’s go Warriors!!!

After a nice 103-95 win over the Thunder, the Blazers have secured their fate of avoiding the Lakers as the #8 seed.
So the potential playoff opponents are either the 2-seeded Mavs, with a win Wednesday over the Warriors. Or with a loss (and a Spurs win) the Nuggets.
For whatever reason, the Nugs have the Blazers number this year, and Portland has the Mavs. The NBA is a matchup league, and even though I think the Mavs are the biggest threat to the Lakers, Portland matches up well with them.
Basically if Portland wants to advance in this playoffs (though without Roy its a moot point) they wanna play Dirks crew.
So I got one word for the Blazers: Tank.
Yup, the Zers (I can’t believe some people really call them that) need to lay down like dying dogs against the Warriors. Don’t even chance it Portland, rest Camby, Miller, Batum, Fernandez and LA. Hell, play with only four guys on the court all night, just for good measure.
Call up Mike Riley, he seems really good at losing season finales, and get some tips.
Don’t even let fans into the building.
Whatever you do, lose.
Here’s to Patty Mills being the star for the Blazers on Wednesday night and Monta Ellis dropping 73 points. Just tank it baby!

Anytime you can slip in a sucker punch to the Beavs it’s worth it. Well done.

Didn’t you say a week ago that the Blazers had no chance against Dallas?

Is it too late to make Wednesday Patty Mills bobble-head night?

No chance vs the Mavs>negative chances vs the Nugs

If all this Patty Mills talk is true, then watch out. If he played for GS he would be putting up Curry-like numbers.

Zero is greater than negative values…
