    Most things in life worth having aren’t easy.

    Well, except for Mrs. HCP of course.

    It's gonna be tough for every playoff team. Plus they've got to play our Blazers. They better get their rest & eat their Wheaties.

    HHH looks like one of the guys in Dragonball Z powering up and they actually look like they're constipated. Haha

    Rooting for this team can be difficult. When you think they're going to win like mad, they struggle. When you've given up on them, they surge.

    However, if we win games against teams that we have a better percentage than, we'll be in great shape.
    And we WILL win those games... Theoretically. Possibly. Maybe.

    Here's a look at how the Blazers will finish if they win the games against teams with lower percentage, and lose against teams with better percentage -

    upload_2018-2-21_22-33-41.png

    They'll finish 46-36, 0.561. (The Blazers are currently tied with Denver - I gave them a L for the one game they play against Denver to be conservative/negative.)

    A 0.561 winning percentage would currently put them in the 5th seed.

    Lots of tough games to finish off the year, but if they take care of business against the lower tiered teams, and pick up a few 'surprise' wins against the upper tiered teams, the Blazers will be sitting in a good position.

    I'm excited about the potential of this team. I think Nurk is going to finish strong the remainder of the year and the Blazers will be the team nobody wants to play come playoff time!

    5th seed. 7 games over where I had them. If we do that I will be stoked!

    Agreed FAMS! 6 more wins than I picked. That would be great considering the talent we have.

    Terry Stotts teams always trend up after the All Star break. The difference between this season and the last couple is they didn't trend down in December and January.
