    They still have not beat the Nuggets for the 8th spot and you are talking 7th spot?
    The Blazers need to win 4 games to clinch the 8th spot. Nuggets could lose 2 and help them out but getting the 7th spot ain't gonna happen.

    Sometimes, I think Kingspeed is like the guy who starts a bar fight, then sits in the corner and watches...

    7th seed is a playoff spot. Let's go after that.

    The Nurk effect:

    Damian Lillard:
    Pre All Star: OFFRTG = 108.4, DEFRTG = 110.7, NETRTG = -2.3
    Post All Star: OFFRTG = 113.4, DEFRTG = 107.0, NETRTG = +6.4

    We had a shot at the No. 7 seed until the Nurk injury hit and after tonight's loss, there's relatively zero chance we move up.

    Yep. We would've been 3 back with a win tonight. Sucks.

    Still think you can get the 7th seed? Maybe you better hope they can just win another game or two and try to lock up the 8th.

    I think we'll miss the playoffs. Almost all of our remaining games are against teams with quality centers.

    Have you seen Denver's schedule from here on out?

    It could be argued that we might be better off missing it but I don't see that actually happening.

    Spurs will be resting starters and the Pels are eliminated from the Playoff. Portland has a good opportunity to win both of those.

    They only need to win one since I don't see us winning another game if the Pelicans have Davis and Boogie.

    I only see Den winning one so I guess it will be close then. But as TBpup says I see us winning at least one.

    Why are you mocking my desire to have my team play well? Are you a Blazers fan?

    Yes but doesn't it seem like teams that have been eliminated always play hard and give us hell? Oh and the Spurs bench always crushes us for whatever reason.
