    This is shaping up to be one of the coolest finishes to a season I can remember. As Blazers fans we are not only watching our team, but the others to see where we are at night's end. It's ridiculous. If Utah beats the Wolves, and that's a real possibility, the Blazers move up to 3rd based on win %. I'm loving it. Go Blazers!!! Beat the Okey Dokes.

    I agree. I'm feeling very good. And I'm trying to stay calm. I want the third seed but I don't think we'll fall farther down than 7th and if that's what happens, it is what is. GO BLAZERS

    Good way to look at it. But let's be greedy, and get the 3rd. You know the Blazers want that as well.

    So freaking close. Depending on wins and losses, a team can drop 3-4 spots in just one game. Don't remember seeing a race this tight in quite some time.

    Yep. I'm already worried about how they'll handle a loss. Not to mention how this board will handle a loss. We won't win out and get 56 wins so people have to remember that. I want the OKC game badly and think we'll get it but it's the Lakers game I fear we may lose. We MUST beat the Knicks.

    Damn Straight. One game at a time as the ol' cliché goes. Love to see the Blazers spank the Okey Dokes.

    Blazers: 37-26, next @ Lakers
    Wolves: 38-28, next vs Celtics
    Pelicans: 35-26, next @ Mavs
    Spurs: 36-27, next vs Grizzlies
    Thunder: 37-28, next vs Rockets

    Blazers can't have a let up against the Lakers. LA did the Blazers a favor in beating the Spurs....don't give that game back.

    Lakers have been playing well with IT in their lineup. I think he has always hurt the Blazers ... from Boston or Phoenix.

    The Blazers are on track to win 48 games.

    If the Blazer only go .500 the rest of the way they win 46 or 47 (46.5). Still not bad.

    To get to 50, they need to win 13 of 19, or 68.4% of the remaining, or a 56.1 win season rate.

    It will probably take 50 wins or more to get the #3. How things have changed. Just a few years ago, 48 wins was the #8 seed. Take advantage!

    Speaking of HC advanate, if The Blazers faced the Cavs in the finals, as of tonight.......we would have HC advantage.

    You mean "When the Blazers face the Cavs for the finals, the Blazers will have HC advantage"

    LeBron will come close but fail at attaining another title.

    Dame will win his first and, in the eyes of some, that will immediately put him right at the top of the list of the greatest of all-time Blazers.

    Gramps...

    I think it’s all gonna come down to that Texas triangle(I think we beat den and Utah before and after it) at the end of the season. I really don’t see us dropping below 5 though.

    They've won five in row. Going to be a tough game.
