    We don't know who the playoff teams are yet though. Maybe we just beat a playoff team.

    Our offense has waaaaaaay too many possessions without a single pass. It's really frustrating to watch.

    Damian Lillard's 15 free throws made (of 15) are a new career high.

    Tied for 4th in the West (with Utah, obv. we have breakers). That being said, we're the only playoff team in the west with negative +/-.

    CJ is definitely the worst offender, but Dame does it too. I hate watching them bring the ball up the court, dribble dribble dribble, and then jack up a shot. I would MUCH rather see the ball move around a bit.

    Eh while a case can be made for that I agree. I'm not going to put too much stock into what you do against last years "playoff teams".
    Simply because teams have gone like 1-13 against playoff teams after the all-star break and went on to win it all in the playoffs. (something like that I don't remember the exact stat.)
    I care more about road wins than anything right now. Portland struggled last year on the road at 16-25, while going 28-13 at home.
    Portland is supposed to win at home against Denver.
    I want road wins against anyone. Portland last year got blown out by the sixers in philly.
    Road wins, go.

    More please.

    Dame does it MAYBE 5 possessions a game.

    CJ does it 5 possessions a quarter.

    Two 30 point losses and a bunch of <3 point wins will do that.

    I agree... but only to a point. History has shown that net +/- is a larger determiner of playoff
    success than win %.
