    Well last year he said we could win a title after the Wes injury just as Dallas did with Caron Butler. I haven't seen him bump that thread.

    I'm not gonna be expecting any wins in the playoffs but I do think this team has a chance any game. Just getting one or two wins would be pretty awesome!

    I honestly think we could steal a couple of games against anyone. It is going to happen.

    Every rational thinking mind in basketball. If they actually hold onto 6th which is absolutely no lock. They might actually win a game or two. I am with you there. But the Thunder will take care of business.

    That's bullshit. You don't know who these players fear or don't fear. Nor do the so-called "every rational thinking mind in basketball." I know more about basketball than most of these guys anyway. By the way, the Thunder may not hold onto the 3rd seed.

    Well you do have a point there. The Thunder do have the tougher schedule but of course Westbrook just dropped a Triple Double on them last night in a win over the Clippers. They end the season pretty much on the road. They only play the Clippers one more time but to this point the Thunder have won 2 of the 3 games. The other thing is that the Thunder currently hold a 2.5 game lead and they would automatically win any tie with the divisional title that they most certainly will get. Another thing is that the Clippers play the Lakers twice more so one of their road games is actually at home. They definitely have an easier schedule than the Thunder. There is one other point that deserves some recognition is the Thunder play Portland twice. Of course we will all be pulling for those wins right? Interesting that the Clippers also have a poor home record at 21-11. only a half game better than their road record @ 20-11.
    I would much rather the Blazers get the Clippers than the Thunder but seems unlikely to me at this point. But again neither of these teams will fear the Blazers. They simply have more talent and experience.
