    It's a shame that it'll probably happen on the road.

    I was hoping we'd clinch at home (that is still possible, against the Lakers).

    If it wasn't for the debacle last Monday for us and Phoenix we could have clinched at home Tuesday.

    That would be really awesome!! That would probably have to happen at the last home game against Denver. You going to make it to that one?

    Re: Portland's Magic Number: 4

    Yup! Always try to make it to the last one at least!

    I wonder how many days it'll be after that until the first playoff game?

    Re: Portland's Magic Number: 4

    I looked back at last years 2007 - 08 teams. Looks like the teams start the playoffs on the Saturday (april 19) when a teams last game is Wednesday (april 16).
    So the blazers play the Nuggets april 15 and play again on april 18 of this year!

    Yep, the NBA has been advertising April 18th as when the playoffs start.

    They'll get 0.5% of the ping pong balls, or 5 in 1000.

    Re: Portland's Magic Number: 3

    If we don't have HCA that won't be a problem, but if we do, which we might not find out until the last game of the season, then it'd be tough for me to make the last game of the season and then the playoff games. I don't want to miss a playoff game so I'm not sure what'll I'll do yet.

    We did it! Two it is. Phoenix plays Houston on ESPN tomorrow night which they can lose. So if that happens We can clinch Friday and Brandon and Steve can shave those god ugly beards!!

    Re: Portland's Magic Number: 3

    Hopefully the Suns win, though. The Suns aren't relevant to the Blazers anymore. The Blazers are making the playoffs. A Rockets loss would help Portland much more.
