Making the playoffs will probably cost us 4-5 spots as opposed to just one as it would in most years. Right now we have the 11th pick, and just a couple games separate us from going even higher. Just a couple of games could make the difference between #15 and #8. But I have a feeling we are going to make it now with the way the team is resurging with Nurk. The Kings obviously have no shot without Cousins, NO hasn't even won with cousins.... But being a sub .500 team with the #15 pick is lame.
I did talk about our chances of making the playoffs....but I'd like to see a poll of how many want the Blazers to make the playoffs this year if it means sacrificing 5-7 spots in the draft.
In all seriousness, while I'd hate to make the playoffs, i like the thread. What are our odds compared to the other teams around us?
Denver is playing well so far in the second half. We just have to keep Winning. We played well against OKC and beat the Nets in a game that was to close.
