    "Portland and Houston aren't going to win in the playoffs."

    "Denver is a much better team than Portland."

    I don't think any of those 3 teams are going to win it all but any of them could win a series. I hope the Blazers find out about this and use it for blackboard material before the game tonight. I really don't think the Nuggets are going very far in the playoffs. They will be lucky if both the Blazers and Jazz don't catch them. I would bet at least one of the Blazers or Jazz catch them. I think the Nuggets will end up at best a 5-6th seed.

    He's absolutely right. The rockets never get past the first round, and tonight Denver will beat Portland.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Barkley is paid to annoy some and entertain others. Not for good, insightful analysis. His words should be viewed through that filter.

    Meh, in the NBA, anything can happen. It's telling enough to say that a team is "better" than another.

    The Blazers will lose tonight and we will not win in the first round. He speaks the truth.

    Especially when he said earlier in the season that Portland wouldn't make the playoffs, so his credibility in this matter is shot.

    Denver will probably win tonight, but to say that Chuck's right is silly. If they are so much better, then their record would reflect it.

    Maybe he's sobered up some.

    If we finish in the top 4 we can win. We could take care of business at home against most of these Western teams. Of course, we'd have to be on our game though.

    I'm going to withhold judgement on the playoffs until I see who we will be playing. I think there are some teams that we would play very well against, and others not so well.

    He is right, and it's not a bad thing. Portland's goal was to get to the playoffs. If they win great, but the team wasn't even expecting to. This years goal is to make it and get some experience.

    Whether Barkley is morally clean doesn't effect his knowledge of basketball.
