    If the playoffs started today, we'd be a playoff team.

    </channel my inner Mags/Kingspeed>

    Of the top eight teams in the west, only Memphis has a worse overall net difference (we are +2.0 on Points For vs. Points Against - Memphis is -9.4). However, I'm a large part of Memphis' problem is the shellacking they got from the Warriors.

    I hear bye nominate the following phrase/name to join "Blazurbate" in the pantheon of names and phrases that we use.

    "Magspeed"

    This will be a fun thread as we float in and out of playoff seeding.

    One week: YEAH! EAT IT WHORES WE ARE THE 8th SEED!

    Next week: Awwww man... we suck again...

    By the end of November we will have played Memphis (twice), the Spurs (twice), Houston (once), and the Clippers (twice). If the Blazers can win 3 of those games, I'll start to believe that they can make the playoffs.

    That's kind of my thought. Still holding out on the wait and see approach.

    I like that we can go small and not lose rebounds with aminu harkless and plums all doing dirty work. Seems an awful lot like last years champs...

    I think CJ/dame is more deadly than curry/klay

    At getting to the basket, yes. Shooting? No, some nights they're close but consistently? No.

    The thing I've noticed so far is we can beat anyone with weak perimeter D, but we'll struggle against teams that can stay in front of Dame and CJ. That doesn't bode well for beating Memphis/SA/LA.

    SA and LA aren't that scary imho when it comes to stopping Dame and CJ. Parker is a liability, Redick as well. They would do well against us in the past because Wes isn't a scorer.
