    1988 - 1st Rd
    1993 - 1st Rd

    #8

    I think it's interesting that Portland has had more success as a 5th seed than as a 4th seed. Also, they've only been 8th once. Let's get that 3rd seed, at least.

    Phoenix is choking

    They were up 10 on Houston at the half, now they're losing by four with six minutes left in the third. It's just sad.

    Although I will say this, Shaq is the only guy who is still trying. The guy doesn't want to lose.

    I do not agree with moving my thread here. It's only timely for another 30 minutes maybe. The ROckets/Suns game is on ESPN, and I think other Blazer fans will want to watch two of the teams that we are competing with. Now it's just buried in this thread, and most people won't see it. Just my two cents :dunno:

    Nice numbers Entity. Thanks for putting that together.

    And Nate, I love how excited you are about the Blazers and the playoff race these last few days. It's exciting, isn't it?

    Didn't realize the Clippers go-to play down the stretch is Zach jacking up three-pointers. Nice.

    Oh brings back great memories. And people were actually arguing for Zach being the better player or an equal to Chris Bosh.

    And another note, Mike Dunleavy looks totally defeated.

    Yes, Utah. I'm also happy to see Washington winning.

    Not sure anyone is reading this thread, but I guess this is where this belongs. To make it a little easier to look at the remaining schedule of teams in the 2-8 playoff race. I didn't include the Suns because I doubt they'll make it and they certainly won't catch us. In the order of the standings right now.
