    Well I know one thing those damn Ducks won't win, an NBA playoff berth.

    Nice to see our Blazers tied for 3rd! They can get sole possession of it on Wednesday. Then we play the next 7 of 9 on the road against many beatable teams but sometimes those road losses can pile up in bunches regardless of the opponent.

    Wouldn't that just be our luck, to get the 2 seed, and then have to play Harden, Howard, and Javie in the first round?

    I was just thinking that. We'd have to be really good to beat Houston and the refs.

    I feel like I have heard this story about Houston being the worst possible match up in the playoffs somewhere before ... :smiley-hmm:

    Houston will find it's stride and make the 4th-5th seed.

    The 6-8 will be Minny, Memphis and golden state in no particular order.

    I don't know what's crazier... Playoff standing talks in November or playoff talk with potential matchups in November.

    I would love to see us at top 3 by the all star break. I really would love Stotts to coach the all star game, but that's a tall order!

    Tough, but doable. I don't see why we can't keep surprising people vs the better teams with the crunch time lineup we can put out there.

    I would love to end the season fighting the Spurs for the best record. Will remind me even more of the 1999 season.

    Man, the East looks terrible so far. Denver, at 4-6, is currently third-last in the western conference, but would be the 7-seed in the East. They only have 4 teams above .500; one of those (Atlanta) hasn't beaten any team with a winning record.
