Blazers are 1 game out of the #5 spot.....and 2 games out of the #9 spot. They will most likely make the Playoffs because there are only 9 teams playing worth a darn. #10 Utah is playing at a .413 pace and are already 8 games under .500. So they should make the Playoffs because there there is really no competition to make it. But they are smack dab in the middle of basketball purgatory and have been for a couple of years. Most likely they make it and play the Warriors, Rockets or Spurs and then it will come to a quick end unless their opponent has Clipper like injuries. Sadly, very ho-hum.
I got a close relation who I grew up with who denies he's a Blazer fan any more. Any of you have this problem with this? Lapsed Blazer fans?
Idk. We're 4 games behind 4th. If we win some games were not supposed to (Starting with MIN on Wednesday), take care of the ones we are, and get better at the deadline, maybe we can push for a 3 seed. SAS has the hardest remaining schedule and Kawhi is out indefinitely and they're only 4.5 games ahead.
Um, HOU just beat GSW to pull within 3.5 games and they're talking about tiebreakers. When GSW may lose 7 games the rest of the season. We're 4 games out of the 3 seed. Against the aforementioned Spurs without Kawhi and MIN (who knows how they're going to take making the playoffs for the first time since (deleted)). Dame is playing really well, CJ's playing mostly well, our rookie showed some life, we have most of a big 3, and the trade deadline can go in a bunch of different ways for us. If you can't get excited about the potential of this team over the rest of the season?
There's a lot of people down here that stopped caring about them because there was no way to watch the games for almost a decade other than pirating. The team really lost themselves a lot of fans that are now Warrior fans down here because their channel has been available all along.
