Clippers Announcers: "Blazers Have No Chance At Making the Playoffs"

I think sometimes certain posts sound as though some people believe there should be an asterisk next to us making the playoffs this year or something. And then there are a few like Tunchi, who still feel making the playoffs wont serve the team as well as retaining a pick in this years draft. And in any other year, we would be having that draft pick. But in any other year, as numbers have shown from others' great posts, we would have then had a few more wins in our pocket as well.
I think most feel it is a moot point to argue 44 is rare because in any other year we would have had a few more years when looking at it statistically. So it's a rare year all the way around is all it really comes down to and I think we can all agree on that and lets get on to kicking some ass tonight!!!!!!!

 

I don't want to help make your point. That's why I was warning BNM about it!

 

Drops mic.

 

Totally agree with the kicking ass part. Sure this year is rare which is why I included so many years before and didn't just cite this season in a vacuum. But there are so many things that were missed. Like teams used to play each other much more often in a conference and now it's down to 3 or 4 times a year. So the impact of playing a team like the Spurs/Warriors is minimized compared to before. I'm all for both sides of the debate.

 

4 blowouts in 4 game ones speaks for TB's argument in my mind.

The west is definitely not as deep with talent as in previous years. But I don't think it's long until that is rectified. It's almost like a less exaggerated version of what the east has gone through - less teams affected and shorter turnaround.

The east is still on the rise, but now the west is too. We are one of those teams which promises to be more competitive in coming years. As are teams like Minnesota, Utah, Phoenix and Denver.

The east has a ton of them... Going to be fun to see which teams can claim eastern dominance for years to come.
