    It is not the Spurs because the seedings haven't been determined yet. If you've not been paying attention, they are fluid.

    I'm still hoping there's a switch this team can turn on but I'm fucking sick and tired of this roller coaster season.

    Could be. They just lost Gasol to an ankle injury so he might not play the rest of the season.

    If the playoffs started today, we'd have to play the Spurs it they DON'T start today.

    My point is it will not be the Clippers.

    It's all about LaMarcus Aldridge. If he plays his A game, we can beat anybody and they know it. Did you see Draymond Green flopping on Aldridge? That's cuz he has absolutely NO IDEA how to guard Aldridge. None.

    I love you eternal optimism. I really do because i err on the same side but the Blazers will be very lucky to get out of any series this year.

    I get homer-ism but objectively if I was a fan of the Clippers, Spurs, Grizzlies or Rockets I'd want to play us in the playoffs. Yeah, we got two all stars but they're pretty beat up, both our regular two guards are out (even if Afflalo comes back he is still gonna be banged up likely) and our defense is almost nonexistent right now against quality opponents.

    At least CJ will get a lot of burn this year on the biggest stage.

    Theyv purposely tanked in the past to get the opponent they'v wanted. They just gotta make sure not to fall passed 5.

    If we can draw the Rockets, we will sweep them. When Aldridge plays, we've beaten the Rockets in 6 of the last 8 games. Not only will Aldridge torch the Rockets but Lillard will too. Who on the Rockets can guard Lillard? No one. And better, who on the Rockets does Lillard have to guard? Jason Terry? He can handle that.

    Who's going to guard Harden? The Rockets will stick Brewer on Lillard and go with a big lineup of Harden, Brewer, Ariza, Smith, and Howard down the stretch. I absolutely do not want to play the Rockets because I do not want to give them the satisfaction of "revenge" when we are down Matthews (and Afflalo, but Matthews is the big injury).

    Give us Memphis.

    Told you guys everybody in the west wants us. Now that's the seems like the consensus around
    here..

    It's ok to have hope but you have to be realistic. We can't even beat the Jazz and they didn't even have their main guys like we did. And we still got beat.

    This year has been ok, but history will show it as a meh ugly season.

    We're going to be super nice next year though
