Btw which one are you rooting for? Blazers or Grizzlies?

I'm gonna go with Grizzlies, although I cannot deny the fact that Blazers was quite more dominant team between the two Undecided

. Dame was on a different level today, that guy alone is a huge pain for them to defend. And by the way, I'm rooting for Grizzlies because I wanna see Morrant performance in playoffs, besides he's the only one among the first ten picks on this recent draft who still has chance to clinch in. The other nine were now enjoying their vacation Grin

There's no betting odds yet but I believe Blazers will be the favorites to win.

The Blazers has experienced players compared to the Grizzlies that composed with young fellas and not that much of experienced in the playoffs. Dame is on the zone when playoffs is approaching, literally on fire.

Trail blazers waving to Lakers.

Yeah quite agree with that. Lillard is on fire right now which is good sign for Blazers. Still both teams know how crucial the match is so it's not like Grizzlies will be out there unprepared. Anything can happen but yes given the performance Blazers should be the favourites.

Btw which one are you rooting for? Blazers or Grizzlies?

If I am to bet with one of them. I'll go Grizzlies.
My instincts tells me (no I am not Spiderman) that Grizzlies is now pumped up.
They want that position back. They need it.
Even if it will be Lakers on the other side of it when they won, playoffs time is still a huge achievement.
Plus, it will be good for additional experience with the Grizzlies team especially Ja.
A rookie in playoffs with a chance to upset the Lakers. One hell of a news.

Lakers vs Portland, which team gonna win?

Majority would say Lakers because they are one of the favorites to win the NBA finals, if Blazers would win, that would be a big success for them because they have a hard time making to the playoffs and upsetting the first 1st seed is something.

Lillard deserve some respect, he is like Curry this bubble but their lack of defense might be their big problem in the long run.

I would answer this question, I like the Blazers as they are the hot team and they have a better squad with good playoffs experience. The return of Nurkic was really helpful and though CJ was playing with injury, it still doesn't affect much to the team as Lillard has been a beast in the bubble. I like the match up of Lebron vs Melo, both are superstars and I think Melo still has it, he doesn't need to score though, he just focus on defense and that is defending Lebron James, if he can do that effectively, they might be able to upset the Lakers.

Goodbye to the 22-year streak appearance of Spurs to the postseason.

--> https://www.si.com/nba/2020/08/13/spurs-postseason-streak-snapped-22-years

And while we are talking about it, Portland Trailblazers got in.

It is a heated game and Damian performance is really amazing with 42 points also with great players like McCollum and Whiteside. Levert really showed something but it is not enough. Either way, I am concerned about Trailblazers having Carmelo Anthony on the court in this game. That last minute shot by Carmelo might've stop them from going to the series.

Congrats to Portland!

This season has full of surprises. But commend to Utah Jazz for winning the game.

I guess we get to see more from the other teams, hopefully good news and not like this one anymore.

yeah..now that the western conference is a little bit confusing of which of the three teams competing for the 8th place for play offs. This is really something good between this three teams and my bet here is the trailblazers team. Carmelo Anthony and Damian Lillard were carrying the team just like what lebron did when he was playing cavaliers. I will watch closely on this team in the western conference.

Still my bet for championship is the lakers because of Lebron and other strong players like anthony Davis.

Everyone is betting for Lakers and there's no thrill anymore what to expect. Let's have them set aside as the majority is with them.

@Russlenat, thanks for sharing this information, the information is not confirm, I though Blazers would already advance in the playoffs. This is exciting to watch, if Blazers wins in the first game, they will finally advance but if not, it will be a win or go home for both teams.

Your welcome.. It would be fun if the Blazers will lose in the first game and we will see a do or die game in the next schedule.

There's no betting odds yet but I believe Blazers will be the favorites to win.

Lillard is the MVP in the bubble if there is an award, so he should win this one, they have the advantage so I think they can.

If there is an award like that, at least they will be recognize for their effort.

The stars for this bubble is Lillard as the MVP and Suns for finishing in the bubble with undefeated record.

Are you excited with the first playoff series between the Grizzlies and Blazers? Lol...

here's the rule of the game.

NBA playoff picture: Play-in series schedule for Trail Blazers vs. Grizzlies

Quote

How will the play-in series work?
The play-in series is limited to only two teams: the No. 8 and No. 9 seed in each conference’s playoff picture, provided those teams are separated by four or fewer games in the standings.

If the team that enters the play-in series as the No. 8 seed wins the first game of the play-in series, they are officially in the playoffs. If the No. 9 seed wins the first game of the play-in series, there’s a winner-take-all second game.

Essentially: the play-in series has two games maximum. The No. 8 seed has to win one game to lock down the final playoff spot. The No. 9 seed would have to beat them in two straight games to make the playoffs.

and schedule.

Quote

Trail Blazers vs. Grizzlies play-in series schedule
Game 1: Saturday, Aug. 15 at 1:30 p.m. ET

Game 2 (if necessary): Sunday, Aug. 16 at 3:30 p.m. ET

Yeah, they are tied with 76ers with most playoff streak, right now the leading team to playoff streak was Rockets with 8 playoff streak, still 1/3 of what did the Spurs and 76ers made.

What a feat, the 8th winning streak of Suns was just denied the Grizzlise Clinched Play-In Game, they sure are the NBA bubble greatest team though (Suns).

When to people vote for the MVP? I mean isn't it suppose to be already? If it is going to happen anytime after the headbutt that could change things, not statistically or team wise or anything but the narrative could change. After all NBA wouldn't want a head butting person as their MVP. I agree that just one move shouldn't change much about mvp race, however we can't influence people and some may actually think like that.

I think it is not as important as previous years, this years MVP will be basically like an MVP of a lockout season, not as important as the other ones. Plus Giannis got one anyway, it wouldn't really matter too much if he fails to get this year. I feel like Harden should have been given a chance, even maybe Jokic because Nuggets are doing so well thanks to him.

There's no public voting for the bubble MVP according to this post it's only going to be for the sportswriters and broadcasters.

It might not be that big compared to the other MVP award that Giannis received but still it's a good way to mention the players who did well during these times.

Harden and Jokic would only have a chance if their team would be winning most of the time like the Suns and Blazers but it's unlikely for them since they'll be judged only for the 8 matches they've played.

Out of all teams, Portland has the best situation, they simply have to win and they secured 8th spot. Next in line is Memphis, that can get 8th spot if they win and Portland losses. Phoenix has to win and then hope for Portland and Memphis to loose in order to secure 8th spot. Spurs can't reach 8th spot, best for them is 9th, if Grizlies and Phoneix looses.

I think both Portland Blazers and Phoenix Suns are gonna win their games. I am not sure about Grizzlies though since Bucks are a difficult opponent but it is also hard to say since they are without Giannis. I think it's gonna be Blazers to secure the 8th spot - Nets have playing quite well without their regular players but I feel like it's gonna end here today against Blazers.

This is the day for the low seed teams, Grizzlies and Suns have already won their games, we are about to find out if Blazers could also win hours from now.
If Blazers would lose, Suns and Grizzlies will be tied at the number 8 spot.

Interesting game for the Blazers, a must win for them.

Blazers are leading at half time and I'm kind of split in two. I have 2 Croats, one in Blazers one in Suns. I would be happier is Saric goes through to playoffs with Suns, but if Blazers go through it is still ok. Suns are a very nice surprise after the break and it would be shame if they don't make it.
