The Portland Trail Blazers got a little lucky when they received their make-up games for missing the 2025 Emirates NBA Cup bracket. Their first draw was the worst team in the league, the 3-22 New Orleans
Pelicans. Tonight’s game is a chance for Portland to get back on their feet and start a winning streak after a rough month of campaigning. You can talk about all the action here!

This is your thread to talk about the action with fellow fans! Another will post at halftime. Here’s what we ask in our discussion threads:
- Stay on the topic of the game during official Game Day threads. We ask that the focus be a little tighter because everyone is gathering for the same reason, the game that unites us all.
- Don’t troll. Talk about basketball, not other commenters. Be smart and charitable—or at least honest and relatable—in the discussion. Friction happens, but treat this like your living room, not an anonymous message board. (Also avoid the classic internet trolling techniques: overt snark, comment repetition, etc.)
- Obviously no language that diminishes people based on race, gender, orientation, and the like is allowed. If you’re going to insult the L*kers, at least be creative.
- Blazer’s Edge is a non-profanity site. Yes, even though referees exist.
Thanks for being a part of the discussion. Enjoy the game and join us after for analysis and more!
