    that graph is lacking context IMO

    to start with, the 14-15 team has almost no bearing on the current team. Only one starter remains from that team, and only 3 players are the same...and one doesn't play while the other is injured

    the graph should be the 4 iterations of the current team, and even then, I'd question if much could be projected from it

    in 16-17, Portland won 12 of their last 16 games, 9 of their last 12, and 3 of their last 4, & Dame-CJ-Harkless didn't play in the game they lost....still, the Blazers were swept in the 1st round. Yeah, it was the Warriors but they lost the games by an average of 18 points

    the year before, they won 7 of their last 9 and won the 1st round but we all know the circumstances of that series against LAC

    even last season which shows up on that graph, they did lose 4 of their last 5. But prior to that they went 17-3. That's 18-7 over their last 25 games and you'd sure think that was a significant indicator of how they were playing

    I don’t know? Didn’t know he was injured actually.

    Would someone explain to me why we haven't already clinched the playoffs? Don't we have the tiebreaker vs Sacramento? I don't recall them beating us.

    One major person in common: Terry Stotts. Dame too, of course. So I think it's valid to study both years.

    I just had a look at AC's stats this year. ooof.

    < 8 PER and shooting 29% from 3 this month. They did us a favor in taking his deal even if they tagged us on with dead money. Neil should not have stretched that Nicholson contract, but still my point remains.

    I explained this to you last game thread when you asked. We still play Sacramento once more so the tie breaker is yet to be determined. The possibility of multiple teams being tied, not just the Blazers and Kings, still exists as well and we'd likely lose most of those tie breakers.

    Nothing’s Easy, another tough game. Continue to protect Home Court.

    3 game road trip after this one so we need to protect home court and win tonight. We don’t know if our bench will show up on the road without CJ.

    So far the Grizzlies are doing a pretty good job against OKC.
