The Portland Trail Blazers hold their play-in seeding in their own hands: win tonight at 5:30pm Pacific against the Sacramento Kings, and they’re in the 7/8 Play-In game. Lose tonight, and they need the Los Angeles Clippers to also lose, otherwise Portland will be in the 9/10 Play-In game instead (and will need to win two games in a row to get to the Playoffs). Let’s chat about the game here!

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!
