    1 win behind Dallas for 6th. We have a ways to go to get ahead of Memphis for #5.

    Go Blazers!

    Given where this team is now, finishing the last 27 games 16 and 11 for a total of 44 wins seems about right. Any thing less now would be a disappointment.
    That should probably get them 6th seed in the West. Given the way they play last night, every game should be a possible win

    Yeah I think 5th seed would be awesome and is certainly within reach. Any playoff spot will be fun though.

    GS- What an entertaining game last night. We may be deeper than them and can play just as small

    LAC- Griffin is dealing with a major injury to his shooting hand. That's got to make him very rusty when he comes back. Their wings are bad and the bench can't hang with us. I think this is the most vulnerable opponent.

    OKC- We can run their bigs off the floor and make them go small; then expose their wings. When they go small with Waiter or Roberson force those two to shoot bricks. Still the Westbrook Durant duo is impressive; think we may have the lowest chance of an upset against this opponent.

    SAS- Great wing defense. Manu and Duncan are dealing with many injuries. Guess what their one weakness is; defending quick long range shooting small guards. Guess what we have two of?

    I'll be excited for any series. Stealing game 1 on the road and having a chance to win game 6 and force a game 7 would be an awesome way to finish the season.

    Is it just me or have the Warriors become unlikable? Why do I all the sudden feel this way? Watching them warmup prioir to the LAC game right now and they are coming across as beyond smug. I used to like this team. Or rather, I thought they were likable. I don't like any teams not from PDX.

    They became unlikable to me last night. Before then, I was rooting for them to break records and shiz... but now, no.

    They were unlikeable last season, they reminded me of a far more talented LeBron Cavs team pre-Heat years. They showboat like crazy and they have some really unlikeable players like Green, Bogut and imo Klay. Curry is like Isiah Thomas, the likeable guy that behind closed doors probably has some big asshole ideas.

    I've always hated Klay. A friend that went to WSU said he would go everywhere on campus smoking a blunt and nobody cared. He's a smug douche. They're all just cocky as hell.

    The douche who scallops his frets and wears puffy shirts is Yngwie. The visage undeath is God.... I mean Rory Gallagher. Who is also a God.

    Thanks. I knew Yngwie; he's hilarious. The lead guitarist in my high school garage band was obsessed with him. I used to say "Yun-wiggy" when I said Yngwie's name just to piss him off.
