Blazers have a historically bad defense. Dame is a Superstar that can mask flaws…if he’s 100% which he isnt at this point. They might be a sinking ship here.
Which team starts playing some serious D? It won’t be the Blazers or the Mavs. Hard to see either NOLA or SacTown climbing higher than 10, just not enough bullets in the chamber. I could see Golden State going on a sort of “dayum we got some pride and we know how to do this” kind of run led by Steph but how much would he have left in the tank after getting them into the playoffs and through the playin games? Same with San Antonio, the coaching and talent there makes me think they’ll force their way in. I think that, if the Lakers can stay at 5 (no guarantee), than the Blazers can hold onto 6 but Dame gonna need to ball hard. Good news for Portland? He can.

Spurs are backdooring their way into the 10th spot.A rough schedule of 40 games in 70 nights almost keeps them out.

Turns out the last playoff spot might come down to Dame vs Steph. Would be electric!

The Kings have had (two) separate 9 game losing streaks. If not for that, Fox might have made things interesting as we’re in the home stretch.
