The Portland Trail Blazers and Los Angeles Clippers will play at Portland’s Moda Center at 7:00 PM, Pacific tonight with 8th Place (and a critical Play-In Tournament advantage) on the line. If the Clippers win, the race is over. Portland will finish 9th in the Western Conference. If the Blazers win, they will tie L.A. in the standings and own the tiebreaker with one game remaining, a Sunday matchup against the hapless Sacramento Kings. Buckle up. This is the game of the year.

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!
