Crap, now the Blazers actually have to win to make the playoffs. THE LEAGUE IS FIXED AND HATES PORTLAND. We will probably just squeeze into the 8th seed and Nazi Stern will make us play LA or some crap like that.
Yes, they have a shot. After winning at Boston, Hollinger's playoffs odds have them going up from 2.4% of making the playoffs to 3.9% Portland's win against the Kings had them going up from 91.4% of getting in to 92% Houston went up from 8.7% to 9.3, NOH went down from 2.3% to 0.7% In the immortal words of Jim Carrey in "Dumb and Dumber"
Awesome. Don't want other teams to roll over. But we're up 4, starting to play well. Some of the teams in front of us are dropping. It'll be interesting but we're in a good spot.
I think we ultimately jump San Antonio and Phoenix. I had thought Oklahoma City, but they just keep playing well.
I don't think so. The Bucks will be suffering from the Yi curse for decades. They never should have traded such a dominant player.
We have 3 more losses than the Spurs so I think it'll be tough catching them. I know we have the tie breaker and they have a tough schedule, but I think it'll be hard to catch them.
Maybe, but without Tony Parker, that tough schedule could catch up to the Spurs. Plus, they play a lot of games on the road for the rest of the season. 11 on the road, 8 at home.
