    And just like that, we are back to 8th in the West.

    What a nice win against the top team in the East. Our bench played like All-Stars. And it was great to see Seth break out like a teen entering puberty.

    Now we face another challenge in the Clippers, one of the better teams in the West thus far in the season, and a team that beat us only a few weeks ago. Blazers haven't won a road game in nearly a month (6 straight road losses).

    Here's our chance to right those ships by beating the Clips.

    I had two problems with those.
    1: You couldn't see the plaid from a distance.
    2: No diagonal stripe.

    That said, they're still better than this years white uni's that we accidently put in the wash with the blacks.

    Yeah, those white sleeved ones were lit, as the kids say these days.

    I think Dame is going to have a really special night and we'll win this one, on the road, against a pretty good Clippers team.

    Clippers just got beat by the Thunder.
    Gallinari went for 28.
    At least the Blazers have Moe Harkless.

    Portland sits in the eight spot. Not sure i even want them in the playoffs at this point? Maybe they can get on a roll?

    The West seems so incredibly wide open. Honestly, I don't really fear any team outside of the Warriors. I say just try their best and see what happens. I'm not saying they will get far or anything but they should at least end their losing streak!

    The west is just crazy this year. Who knows? They might get a couple good runs going and get a good seed?

    Imagine how much fun this would be without the Warriors? Itd be the most parity the NBA has ever had. It would be the best spot theyve ever been in.

    FUN FACT: The Blazers currently rank 5th in the league in RPI, as they have the 3rd hardest SOS.

    Playing teams that are on losing streaks has not bode well for the Blazers...

    RPI and SOS are probably the most worthless stats on the board.
