    I might have to change into a new blazers bikini after thinking about this.

    How are historical facts a wet blanket? Am I not Polyannaish enough? Okay, it'a great thing if we can win the West with 45 wins while the rest of the franchises in our conference implode and we bask in their ineptitude. We will be the Kings of the Mountain and will dance in the streets celebrating our greatness. I'm on board!!!

    Hey, Bud... does the fact that Golden State & San Antonio combined for 150 wins factor into your scenario? 'Cause it seems to me, the West is still what it was, & has been... it also just happened to contain TWO historically great teams (nevermind that one of them set the record for regular season wins). In short, no fucking shit that the other teams in the West had fewer wins than in years past!

    So, basically... if my Aunt had balls, she'd be my Uncle!

    Yeah, that's a good point. It's not necessarily that the East beat up more on the West than in years past, it's more that two teams in the West kicked the rest of the wests' asses. Hung them out to dry and then used them as a place mat for their garage... not house.. not worthy of the house...

    All this doubt too. Everybody forgets we've got nothing to lose. Corner a starving dog and you're bound to get bitten.

    I like how because the west was "worse" this year that we had any control over that.

    We didn't. It's this year. Fuck what the other years said, they don't mean anything. We made it into the playoffs this year, nothing else matters.

    Actually, it's a combination of both.
    1. The West was the stronger conference this year. It won 50.6% of its games compared to the East winning 49.4% of their games. The West may not be as strong as it has been in past years, but none the less, top to bottom, it is stronger than the East.
    2. The West's top two teams (GSW and SAS) had 27 more wins than the top two team in the East (CLE and TOR). Those 27 additional wins caused the West to 'beat up on itself', so to speak.

    To be able to more closely compare the middle of the conferences, I took those 27 wins and distributed them to the rest of the West according to their win percentages. Here are the West's 'normalized' wins:
    OKC 58
    LAC 56
    POR 46
    DAL 44
    MEM 44
    HOU 43
    UTA 42
    SAC 35
    DEN 35
    NOP 32
    MIN 31
    PHO 24
    LAL 18

    Those would be the approximate win totals if GSW and SAS were approximately as strong as CLE and TOR.

    Also, the East had the 'doormat' Philadelphia team that won 7 less than the worst team in the West (LAL). Those are 7 wins that were 'donated' to the Eastern teams that helped inflate their numbers.

    There is no shame in the Blazers making the playoffs this year because of a 'weak' West. The West was the stronger of the two conferences with two historically amazing teams, two very good teams, and 5 other playoff worthy teams. They earned this playoff birth and I'm proud of them for doing so.

    Holdahl spends half of his short article saying that everyone else thought the same as Lawler. Imagine if provocateur Canzano had written this, trying to fan flames.

    Whether he's trying to fan flames or flame fans, I try not to imagine Canzano, ever.

    But of course. He and El P are making classics right now. When I was working at Dot's Cafe, I would always throw Run the Jewels on during a busy shift. That stuff gives me energy.
