    Or do you still see us out of the Playoffs?

    Vote in the poll not for what you want to happen but for what you think will happen.

    I'm a centrist. By default, I must pick C. I can't help myself.

    I may be biased (or not may at all) but I don't blame you since that is what I picked.

    I picked 6. I think Memphis will fall a bit and we will take that spot. I see us overtaking Memphis, but no more.

    Funny, you seem more like a guy who drinks the Kool-Aid, to me. :)

    Yes, but I pour three glasses and drink the one in the middle.

    Blazers will have the seventh seed and will face the spurs in an ironic yet epic showdown where we will defeat Lamarcus Aldridge and the Spurs in 6 games...therefore defeating the ghosts of our past...

    Care to explain?

    If you are saying that is what you want to happen then I can understand.

    But if you are saying that is what you see happening then I am not sure what you mean.

    I want either the #7 seed and play the Spurs to knock that POS's ass out of the playoffs, or hit the lotto for a draft pick.

    I have little interest in being swept by GS or OKC.

    Ok that is what I thought you meant but you must have not read the first post of this thread in that case. The vote wasn't for what you want to happen. Just what you see happening.

    And there is no way either team sweeps us imo. We win 1 at least against GS and OKC I could see us beating.

    But I also want to play the Spurs more so don't fault you there.

    That is what I see happening as well. The story just writes itself.

    How does one magically get 7th or out though? You could get 8th or out due to tiebreakers but not 7th. You are seeing what you want to see in this case I suppose.

    My heart says 6th, but my gut says 7th. I voted with my heart.

    A little surprised that no one picked 8th seed yet. I don't blame you for thinking we are aiming to avoid GS though.

    You know... SA is only what... 3 games behind GS? Id laugh my ass off if those that dont pick 8th seed for fear of a GS matchup and they pick 7th. SA overtakes GS and we end up with GS anyhow as the 7th seed.

    That would be pretty funny. Either way it wont happen. We are overtaking a couple more teams and will be battling for 5th at the end of the season.

    I want the spurs. I don't care if we have a higher chance of losing. I want to knock them out, and I KNOW that Dame will go full HAM.

    I just had this vision of us beating SA on our floor to go on to the next round and LA taking a flight home by himself.

    Oh lord, make that happen.

    I voted 7th because I want the Spurs. I think if we keep up with our great play 5th is very possible, but the Clippers are dangerous...

    I'd like to play these in order:

    Spurs
    Thunder
    Clippers
    Warriors
