The bottom six teams in the East have lost a combined 48 games in a row. If the knicks make the playoffs it's more a testament to how hard teams are tanking then anything they are doing.
They have only one quality win in those 9 games. The rest are against Clev, Minny, Phillyx2, Boston, they're in the easiest part of the schedule.
Couldn't you have just posted this instead of starting another entire thread about missing the playoffs? That would be nice kthx
To be fair to them, they did draft Kevin Love. Rubio is a bust at this point, though, considering the hype around him.
True, but then it's also true that all losses suck equally when trying to make the playoffs. And the Knicks lost. To Cleveland. After leading by 15 points at halftime. At home. Hmmm. Maybe some losses do suck worse than others even when you're trying to make the playoffs. The Blazers should know after last night.
Chicago drafted LMA Minnesota drafted Roy These were deals already in place. Learn the GM game, then post.
Monday March 24th, 2014 Games To Watch (Games Updated Throughout Comments)- Portland @ Miami Root For: Trail Blazers Reason: Maybe a win over the Champs will bring back the swagger we saw in November/December Houston @ Charlotte Root For: Bobcats Reason: We're not catching Houston for Home Court Advantage, but I'm curious to see how they play against the Bobcats after the Blazers lost to 30 on Saturday night. Phoenix @ Atlanta Root For: Hawks Reason: A Suns loss drops Portland's Magic Number down to 8 - a Blazers win and a Suns loss pushes it even lower to 7 Memphis vs. Minnesota Root For: Timberwolves Reason: The Trail Blazers are just three games up on the Grizz with 12 games left. And if Portland loses tonight and Memphis handles business, the gap drops to two and Memphis faces us once more this year. Oklahoma City vs. Denver Root For: Nuggets Reason: Still like the thought of San Antonio keeping the No. 1 seed. I can't see OKC drop lower than the No. 2 seed. San Antonio vs. Philadelphia Root For: Spurs Reason: See reason above Los Angeles Clippers vs. Milwaukee Root For: Clippers Reason: The more separation the Rockets and Clippers get between each other at the 3/4 seed, the easier it can be to see which seed the Blazers may want coming down the stretch.
Tuesday March 25th, 2014 Games To Watch (Games Updated Throughout Comments)- Portland @ Orlando Root For: Trail Blazers Reason: Portland is now just two games up on Memphis for the 7th seed out West Oklahoma City @ Dallas Root For: Mavericks Reason: I just really don't like the Thunder ...
If we don't get two of these next three on the road, it's going to start to look a little bleak, especially considering we hold tiebreakers over none of the teams we're fighting for playoff position with.
If we could end up facing San Antonio in the first round, I would actually feel really good about the series. I don't care if they have HCA.
Spurs are the only team we can win a series against. I fear the Rockets/Clippers/Thunder would handle us in 5/6 games.
I think we can beat the Spurs, Golden State, the Clippers and the Mavs (if they squeak in) Rockets, Thunder or Grizzlies...not so much.
