    If Houston loses and Denver wins; there could be a scenario where Utah intentionally loses on Wednesday to drop to 6th and play us.

    That would probably be my dream bracket, GS, HOU, OKC in the top half and PDX/DEN/UTH in the bottom bracket.

    We could legit make the WCR in that bracket. Not that we would be any kind of favorite, but its conceivable. On the other side of the bracket I just don't see any realistic way outside injury we can beat GS or HOU in the second round.

    We could lose to any team even LAC or SAS in the first round. I want to be the 3rd seed with Denver as the #2. Even if that means we get OKC in round 1, although I agree with many I think I'd rather face ideally Utah/SAS/LAC. I want the best change of a WCF trip even if it means we are slightly more likely to get bounced in round 1.

    Will have a number of these scenarios eliminated by tipoff tomorrow!

    But if the Thunder go 1-1 in their last 2 they would have the exact same record as last year.

    The response was in regards to our record against them this year versus last.

    They’re not the same team as last year, and there’s a difference between the regular season and the playoffs. But if you wanna play that game, fine. Westbrook averages over 30 points a game (on 44% shooting) against Lillard (who averages 24 on 42%) and has won more of the matchups. If the Thunder can’t stop Lillard, then the Blazers definitely can’t stop Westbrook.

    Thunder should be the last team any Blazer fan would want to face.

    Thank you Scalma, i'll be cheering for a Rockets win. Honestly so many Blazers fans here, or on reddit or Blazersedge or on twitter are so obsessed with that meaningless 3rd seed, that they cant see that we would play OKC in that matchup.

    No I can see we’d play OKC, I just dont care. I understand you think they’re a bad matchup. I don't really feel like they’re any more or less scary then Utah, SAS, LAC.
