    Wow, as in 8th best in the entire league?!

    EDIT: OTOH, I'm assuming, in many cases, there are more than one team with the same odds(?)

    These odds aren't about who will have a better record.

    KP is having quite the nice Summer/Fall. Don't underestimate.

    I really think if we get Jamal Crawford, we could go to the WCF this year.

    We'd have plenty of shooting and the offensive flow would stagnate less. It'd be a fast pace that'd fall just short of a run and gun tempo. Plus, you combine that with a strong Blazers defense (weren't we top 10 last year?) and that's a strong team right there.

    meh. I predict we'll go 16-10 in the playoffs, which is good enough for me.

    Outside of OKC, is there really a team in the west that scares you?

    I'm just not seeing it.

    as director of player personal?

    btw, they be on crack if they think the Blazer have the 8th best chance. They must be assuming Roy is healthy and Oden is playing.

    Exactly. And OKC beat us only because of some lucky clutch shots in the first two games. I don't think Blazers were even healthy nor adjusted with the roster changes playing for the third game.

    Add to the fact that Dallas no longer has J.J. "Blazer Killer" Barea or Tyson Chandler and there's more and more of a chance the Blazers move out of the first round.

    Have you watched Crawford much in the playoffs? Yeah me neither, because the teams he's been on haven't been in the playoffs much.

    He's not a star player, thus he isn't going to lead a shitty team to the playoffs. He has however made it out of the first round of the playoffs. Something a lot of current Blazers and Blazers of the recents past could say.

    In fact, both times he was in the playoffs with Atlanta, he had a higher PER than Joe Johnson.
