    Hollinger's NBA Playoff Odds

    Blazers currently have a 95.7% chance to make the playoffs, 54.4% chance to win the division, and 18.8% chance of finishing 1st. Yet there are still so many people betting against them.

    Projected best record 72-10

    Projected worst record 35-47

    So, WORST case scenario, Portland is 2 wins better than last season. And, BEST case scenario, Portland is 39 wins better than last season.


    Protect home court! 19-3 is where I want to be in 3 games with 2 of those versus Utah. Dallas should at least be competitive, and I like Portland's chances.

    Ok so if this Blazers team goes 72-10, I will believe in miracles. At that point LA is MVP, Damian is an All-Star, Robin is Most improved, Batum wins DPOY, Mo wins Sixth man, 3j wins ROY and Wes wins the All-Star 3 pt contest. I'm liking our chances.

    Utah's the best team in the universe. But we're the best team in the multiverse. I think we got this.

    Not only do I have a good feeling about this game, I think the okc win will start propelling us to start blowing teams out. It starts with Utah

    Utah may have only won 4 games so far, but in their last 3 games they've done 2 things we haven't: they beat Houston, and beat Phoenix AT Phoenix. I hope we stomp them early and don't give them any hope.

    They shot nearly 60% from 3 and held Houston to 32%. And nearly 55% from the field, vs 48 for Houston.

    They lost to Phx at home the night before on a home/@home back-to-back by double digets shooting 25% from three.
    They beat Phx the next time by nearly the same margin shooting 20% better from 3.

    Utah is an NBA team. When you shoot really well, you're gonna have a chance to win some games.

    I don't think the Blazers will sleep on any teams this season.

    The trend I've noticed with them is that they start out really well. So we need to come out strong out the gate.

    If you're legit you don't lose this game. I don't care if it's by 2 or 30 just win.

    The ONLY reason we lose would be because I wasn't allowed to create this game thread!

    But the Heat lost to Philly this season and the Clippers lost to the Hawks. Quality teams lose to shitty teams all the time. What does being "legit" have to do with it?

    Atlanta is .500, and Philadelphia is 7-12. Only one of those teams are "shitty".

    (Philadelphia, 2nd in their division, would be in 13th place in the WC btw)

    Exactly what I thought before the last Phoenix game. Hopefully right this time.

    I'd love to see this game be enough of a blowout that Leonard and the DNPs could get some minutes. Given the Blazers recent history of inability to hold big leads, I'm not holding my breath.

    Off to the game shortly; it's going to be a nippy walk from my parking spot.

    Use tape or wear a cotton blend.
