Brandon: No one in the West is running away and hiding in the Play-in race, so there is still plenty of time. No major damage done. Right now the Blazers are 2.5 games back of the ninth-place Grizzlies. They’re four games back of the eighth-place Warriors, who the Blazers play in a few days. And they’re five games back of the seventh-place Phoenix Suns. We debated bringing this up as a point, I will just very quickly throw it out that if they keep losing, at some point we’ll talk more about: ‘*Is it time to tank?*’ It’s only December. I don’t think that conversation is appropriate right now.
Conor: I agree. It’s too early.
Brandon: It’s too early. There are lots of games left to play. And again, I’m not trying to oversimplify it, but like: ‘Oh, no, our team who we thought would be kinda good to mediocre is losing games when they don’t have a whole bunch of their players.’
