HCP, since you're the math guy. Is there any mathematical probability that we can reach a 4 seed? Put, that in your pipe and ponder it a bit.
I'll answer for HCP. At team that has 25 losses and has 6 games left can be passed by a team with 28 losses and 4 games left. Not exactly advanced calculus...
Wednesday April 9th, 2014 Games To Watch (Games Updated Throughout Comments)- Portland vs. Sacramento Root For: Trail Blazers Reason: Need to stay in 5th Memphis vs. Miami Root For: Heat Reason: Either a Trail Blazers win or Grizzlies loss make it impossible for Memphis to jump Portland in the standings. Phoenix @ New Orleans Root For: Pelicans Reason: Portland is close to ensuring Phoenix can not jump them in the standings. If the Suns lose and the Blazers win tonight, that scenario will happen. Houston @ Denver Root For: Nuggets Reason: The Rockets have to go 2-4 over their last six games and the Blazers would have to win out for Portland to secure ... Prepare to start the playoffs on the road Los Angeles Clippers vs. Oklahoma City Root For: Clippers Reason: I really don't like the Thunder. That is all.

I know you're joking, but I hate the tonya Harding style of jokes. If we can beat a healthy rockets team we can beat anybody. I love the game first, and the blazers second. I hate seeing any injuries dampening the competition. Kevin garnett is my least favorite player but I still hope he is healthy in the playoffs. I despise Kobe, but hate seeing him struggle with these injuries. In other news Kenny 'the jet' Smith picked the Blazers as his under the radar team who is overlooked and could be a surprise this post season.
WTF happened to GS? They were killing DEN when I was going to bed and was remarking about that's how good teams take care of crappy ones. It would be absolutely crazy if they miss the playoffs. There were some who thought they could come out of the west
