    Hello darkness, my old friend
    TBH, I don't care if we win a playoff game, so long as we make the second round.

    That's just me, though.

    Seriously? If we get swept again... I don't care if it's without Nurk and CJ that's just pathetic. I mean if the Blazers are going to lose in the 1st round I'd definitely rather it be in 6 or 7 then 4. Definitely, want a 2nd round appearance, but I'm going to self-ban myself for a few days this time if they get swept...

    As of now, mathematically, 4th is most likely. 3rd is a strong possibility because we own the tie breaker vs HOU. We need to beat these crappy teams we're playing and we'll seal HCA. Even if we lose two to DEN, Utah has to win out to even invoke a tiebreaker. HCA is pretty much guaranteed unless we fuck up the games we are supposed to win.

    We are about as likely to finish 2nd as we are 5th

    Here's a good breakdown of the possibilities that is simple to follow.

    It was a joke, yo. It's hard to make the second round without winning a game.

    Maybe by disqualification...

    Lol, I thought you were saying that winning a couple of games wouldn't do anything for you, which is actually a fair take if you think getting to the 2nd round is the only way the season is successful.
