    We don’t yet know what teams are playoff teams. Too early.

    It's always the same every year.

    The Blazers suck.. Then they win a game.
    The Blazers can't play the right kind of offense. No flow. Then they start winning and scoring well.
    The Blazers can play offense but their defense sucks. Then they start playing better defense.
    The Blazers can't put together any dominant wins. Then they blow a couple teams out.
    The Blazers aren't winning the right way. Then they win with good defense and nice all around scoring with 6 players in double figures.

    Now it's The Blazers aren't beating the right teams.

    You can please some of the people some of the time but you will never please all of the people all the time.
    Relax and enjoy the season.
    This is all Entertainment. S2 is entertainment!

    Yeah the way it looks now the Blazers are a playoff team.
    I'm betting Dallas will be a playoff team. Just sayin.

    Out of the Lakers' 21 wins, only 4 have come against teams with a winning record. 5 of their 7 losses have come against WC playoff teams based on current standings.

    Out of the Clippers' 20 wins, only 6 have come against teams above .500 on the season.

    What's their SOS?

    Does that mean they're 4-5 against winning teams?

    Not taking away from what you said, how many Blazer wins have come at the expense of winning teams?

    Anthony Davis out. Will be re-evaluated in 2-3 weeks. I bet he’s out a couple months. Why risk an Achilles tear?

    We shall see how good the L*kers going to be real soon, no AD for 2-3 weeks and their upcoming opponents including recent nuggets is going to be a tough stretch. It does not look fun.

    So splitting against playoff teams and feasting on losing teams doesn't sound about right to you? That's what good teams do. I think it's overachieving. This roster isn't as good as it could be with some smart trades, has been plagued by injuries that should have been devastating and the coaching isn't what I'd have it be. So why would you complain about or try to diminish the team's record? Due to us splitting the games with good teams and beating the teams we should it's not like you can call the record fools gold.
