    That would be an absolute free fall. Or gloom and doom as you put it.

    Yes. They will make the playoffs.

    So the season will be 4, 5, 6 games longer than it otherwise would have been.

    Is there a big market for farm grown turtles? I prefer the taste of wild ones myself.

    You feed turtles to the turtles? Won't that lead to a epidemic of mad turtle disease?

    This sounds like the start of a brain eating turtle zombie movie.

    If we go 4-8 in our last 12, the Suns would need to be 9-4 in their last 13 to tie (Phx would win tie breaker in that scenario, either by head to head or conf record) Unfortunately it's not too difficult to imagine a 4-8 finish for us. But the Suns play 9/13 on the road. Their home games are Mem, LAC, SA, and NYK. Hard to imagine they go 9-4 or better, but they are streaky. In December Suns went 10-3 with wins over Hou, GS, Dal, LAC, & Tor. If we can go 2-3 on this trip it would help immensely. But if we go 0-5 or 1-4 and Phx pulls within a game or 2 of us, the pressure would be overwhelming on our guys considering the hot start. You're talking about the biggest collapse in the history of the NBA. The 2004/5 Cavs were 30-21 at AS break and missed the post season. We were 36-17. Bellow are 12 worst collapses in NBA history. We would be #1 on this list, and by a landslide. It would be nice to get some wins and clinch a playoff spot early and avoid all of that.

    Tell you what, my preseason prediction of 50 wins is starting to look good.

    Yes, the Blazers will make the playoffs.

    If not, then you KingJinxed the team by starting this thread.

    Worst collapse was the George Karl Bucks team that led the division in March and then missed the playoffs. 07-08 and 12-13 Blazers had massive collapses too. Worse than the ones at the link above.

    07-08 started 22-13 and then went 19-28. 12-13 Blazers were 20-15 and then went 13-34.
