The Official 8th Seed Thread

I said our road record wasn't that bad and you said "Yeah...it is for a WC Playoff team" so I responded by pointing out that it's not that bad considering a 17-24 Utah team made it to the second round. And there were two other 17-24 teams.

Also, the Blazers were 14-27 in 1977 and we won it all!

The point, yet again, is that 12-16 isn't that bad. Utah, at 9-17, is bad. We're just okay.

 

Beat LA!

 

I DIDN'T SAY THAT WE COULDN'T MAKE THE SECOND ROUND.

Holy crap KS. All I said was that we are a bad road team, and WE ARE. I said nothing about how it could affect us in the playoffs.

 

You said our road record is bad for a WC playoff team. And I say it's not, considering three playoff teams last season had 17-24 records on the road and Utah has a 9-17 record this year.

 

Blazers = 13th best road record in the NBA. So we are not a "bad" road team. 17 teams have worse road records.

 

I said it's a bad record and we are a bad road team, that's it. Utah also has a bad road record and is a bad road team. Utah had a bad road record last year and was a bad road team last year too. Whether they made the 2nd round is irrelevant. They are a bad road team last year and this year and so are we.

 

13th best in the league.

 

Well considering half the NBA isn't in the playoff race, 13/16 is not that good.

 

the blazers have the 2nd worst road record out of the all the teams currently in the western conference playoff race. but i guess i agree that they aren't really bad for a western conference playoff team. the only teams that are really good road teams are the lakers and spurs(and the top 3 in the east).

 

So, what makes this thread official?

 

lol

 

Papa- is that you in your avatar?

 

Yep. I broke down and went all in on the forum. I don't know who the kid on my shoulders is though. OK, I do know and I am related to her.

 

How do you know any of this will happen??? Another negative thread following a loss.

 

Please change your avatar PapaG. It makes it much harder to hate on you while seeing you are a real human.

BTW. 4-8 seeds are going down to the wire, its a total crapshoot on who will land where

 

Honestly, you shouldn't be worried about what seed you get. You are going to lose in the first round either way, whoever it is you get to play.

 

Cute kid!

As for this thread...oy. Losing to a great home team in their arena close is actually pretty good work. Getting a few more points and the win would have been fantastic.

 

TWO through 8 seeds are going down to the wire. I still believe the Blazers can get the third, maybe the 2nd seed.

 

I think Dallas gets the eighth seed, I don't see them passing you. Plus that seems like a fun series.

 

I think if we play well we can finish 6th place.... either Dallas or NO will pass us, not sure which one. Houston will get 4th, Dallas/NO will get 5th we will get 6th and Dallas/NO will get 7th w/ Utah probably getting 8th.

IDK, it seems like my predictions change every day.
