Yeah, Portland isn't a pushover.
Rough week in general. 5 games in 7 nights. Including a game next Saturday against OKC. A flight back from the west coast thrown in.
One bit of luck. We play back to back home games against Washington.
Milwaukee also lost last night. So couldn't gain ground on both of those teams losing. But we didn't lose any either.
5.5 games behind NYK for the 3rd seed
2 games behind Milwaukee for the 4th seed
1 game behind Indiana for the 5th seed
5 games ahead of Atlanta for the 6th seed
Pacers lose.
Siakam is all kinds of dumb. Down 3 with 7 seconds left inbounding 94 feet away. He dribbles the length of the court and lays it in for 2 with 1 second left.
Good for us.
You have to wonder if that is Merc waiving the white flag until the new regulations in 2026.
I watched a little of the first episode and Lewis made comments that he felt Mercedes can't win this year.
