The NBA Play-In Tournament concludes tonight with two exciting matchups! Thankfully, the Portland Trail Blazers don’t have to compete in either of them. After beating the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday, they’re waiting for Game 1 of the NBA Playoffs on Sunday.
But we’re still tossing up a GameDay Discussion Thread for any fans who want to hang out and discuss tonight’s postseason action. So far, this year’s Play-In Tournament has been fantastic, and tonight carries more entertaining storylines. Among them,
can Stephen Curry and the old-man Golden State Warriors upset the Suns and punch a ticket to the Playoffs? Can a young Charlotte Hornets team pull off the upset over the Orlando Magic in the East? Time to find out!
Here’s the game info:
9th-seeded Charlotte Hornets @ 8th-seeded Orlando Magic | 4:30 p.m. Pacific | Amazon Prime
10th-seeded Golden State Warriors @ 8th-seeded Phoenix Suns | | 7 p.m. Pacific | Amazon Prime
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 postseason action!
