    Second of a B2B for the Warriors on multiple days rest for the Blazers at home.

    Sure, but they're looking at cumulative simulation, whereas I'm just looking at who's favored to win each remaining game. If every favorite wins from here on out (based on 538's current odds), the Pelicans would actually end up with the 3 seed with 49 wins, despite 538 only projecting them with 47.

    All the teams in the west play each other quite a bit to end the season. It seems like that will stretch things out a little rather than keeping it so close. Some of the teams will win some will lose so there will be a degree of seperation

    But if primarily home teams win, the intra-community games will basically cancel each other out.

    It's coming down to the last weekend, no doubt about it.

    Actually, I see the exact opposite. With so many highly competitive games and so much at stake, I see the 3 - 10 teams in the West beating up on each other. No one has an easy schedule. So, I don't expect anyone to go on a big winning streak to end the season. I think its much more likely that most of those teams go 6-4 or 5-5 over their last 10 games than 10-0, 9-1 or 8-2.

    Always does for a few teams in both conferences. Every year. Nothing new about this year.

    Game is on NBATV tonight, suck! It's not available on League Pass when on NBATV, I still don't get that. Oh well, maybe I'll get some sleep tonight instead.

    We need a fast start and finish strong. Don’t give the Lakers any confidence that they can beat us.

    I do not want Frye on the team. Really nice guy, but he's a choker.

    Good think laker fans are known as the most delusional fans in the nba. They legitimitely do have a shot at landing PG this summer but that’s about it. Past summers it has been hilarious watching them think they would get everybody.

    To be fair, if the roles were reversed, I think you'd be saying the Blazers still have a chance. Those homers are your brothers, they are optimistic just like you!

    I admit that as long as we win tonight, I would be fine with Lakers making playoffs. It would be fun to see them play Rockets in first round.
