    Next road trip we play is 5 game that trip might tells us if we will reach the playoffs. But looking at Dallas Denver and ours I think we might have the easier schedule and if we take a business we should be 8th seed.

    Even at 7, we'd be fodder

    We are as close to 7 as we are to 14.

    There is no difference between the 7th & 8th seed.
    As Portland would struggle on the glass against the Spurs, which would lead to Portland losing the series.
    Portland has to have Lillard drop 50 to hang with GSW. Being that he prolly won't do that in more than 1 game against them... I just don't see Portland hanging with GSW.
    I'd love to be wrong and Portland to beat either team. But I'd hate to get eliminated by the team LaMarsha joined.

    Spurs play the Warriors twice in San Antoino yet. Those two games are b2b's for the Warriors too.
    I think Spurs are going to be the #1 seed.

    The Blazers have 20 games left and are 7 games back. OKC only has 18 games left. If they went just 7-11, the Blazers would have to go 15-5 to tie them and get the #7 seed due to the tie-breaker.

    That seems exceedingly optimistic. It looks like around 9-10 wins there which means Portland would have to go 17-3 or 18-2.

    Everybody's talkin' 'bout the seventh son
    In the whole wide world there is only one

    I'm the one, I'm the one
    I'm the one, I'm the one
    The one they call the seventh son

    I can tell your future, it will come to pass
    Do things to you make your heart feel glad
    Look in the sky, predict the rain
    Tell when a woman's got another man

    I'm the one, I'm the one
    I'm the one, I'm the one
    The one they call the seventh son

    I'm the one

    Well, I can talk these words that will sound so sweet
    They'll even make your little heart skip a beat
    Heal the sick, raise the dead
    Make the little girls talk outta their heads

    And I'm the one, I'm the one
    I'm the one, I'm the one
    The one they call the seventh son

    I'm the one
    Oh, I'm the one
    Oh, I'm the one
    Oh, I'm the one, babe
    I'm the one, I'm the one
    The one they call the seventh son
    I'm, I'm, I'm the one, I'm the one
    The one they call the seventh son

    Do you the John Baldry version
    from "Everything Stops For Tea"?

    There is some great stuff on that album, alhough is is typical English, tall, gay, blues singer material.

    No I do not the John Baldry version. I do a lot of things, but I do not versions. I might do virgins, but I do not versions.

    True. Maybe Thompson and Curry will both get injured.

    That way the fans can have another year of over expectations because WE WENT TO THE SECOND ROUND

    I'm saying JinxSpeed knows what that dude was saying, he just always has to argue. Like my 15 year old son.

    Rather, I want to see the team continue to gel with Nurkic, re-integrate a soon-to-be-healthy Turner, perhaps magically see continued improvement from Meyers (via Nurk), and develop into the quality team that many of us were anticipating 6 months ago.

    I know it's crazy, but recall that trading for Buck turned a below-.500 team into a title contender. Is it necessarily beyond the realm of possibility that the Nurkic trade could produce a similar transformation?

    Obviously we do not have a HOF on our roster like Clyde, so that is a factor. But regardless I think we are still one player away from the transformation. We traded for a young Duck mid season in 86', then added Buck prior to the 89' season. Maybe Nurk is our Duckworth (although I think he will be better) and we are still waiting on our "Buck'?
