    Pelicans lost a game they had been favored to win and Blazers won a game they had been favored to lose. BIG time swing in the gap.

    Unbelievable run. Our crowd needs to show up for these games. Pathetic effort on their part, but amazing effort by the team

    OKC be in trouble. Clips winning tonight and playing Magic tomorrow. Clips could go to 36-29 while an OKC loss to Spurs would put them at 38-30. Yikes.

    We can go on 12-0 easy with next 3 home games.

    Minnesota in trouble too. Jazz go 37-30 with a win over Pelicans almost for sure if AD doesn't play. And Timberwolves lose to Warriors; Wolves would only be 38-30.

    Jazz are so much better with a healthy Gobert. That team has been crushed by injuries in the last few years. I think they get in.

    I think it's possible that both Clippers and Jazz get in and Nuggets and Minnesota (or OKC) don't.

    All the times we made the finals... and the one time we should have... we were a 3rd seed.

    My bad; I thought for whatever (drunken) reason that the tweet was saying those were when we were 3rd seed not top 3.

    We were 1st seed in 1992.

    That happens when you haven't been a 3rd seed in almost 20 years.

    It's like saying the Kings and T-Wolves have not lost a playoff series in over 10 years.

    And we were 1 seed in 1991 but didn't make Finals.

    I know. Shit, they haven't. Good call. Do we play them coming up? I want our team to be tested.

    I'm a believer now. Even if we do have a hard schedule. I am all on board now. Our winning streak is too real to ignore. I don't care how big a pessimist you are. Stotts and co. have unlocked their potential.

    Not fair. Probably 1/3 of those in attendance were in Warriors gear. I've never heard that much cheering for the opposition in the RG before. But by the second half, we had drowned then out completely. The crowd was outstanding during that defensive stand at the end of the 3rd.

    Season ticket holders bilking bandwagon Heat/Lakers/Warriors/Cavs fans out of hundreds of dollars to make back money on their season ticket packages is a grand tradition in Portland.
