The race for Home Court Advantage

That's an interesting assumption.

 

You haven't been here for months. Suddenly we're on a winning streak and you're back posting like crazy, even more than I do.

 

So because I wasn't posting as much, I wasn't watching the team? I have 15k more lifetime posts than you do buckaroo. I got burned out on this place.

 

You didn't deny my assumption. Have you been watching or not? I don't think you have. If you were burnt out, what brought you back with such gusto? Jumping on the bandwagon?

 

I have been following the team all year. As proven by the fact that I have been posting, but not as much. Not that I have to justify myself to you lol

 

Following? Just checking the scores? Or have you watched every game like most of us here? Just curious.

 

You're better than this.

 

True fans bathe in blazer blood during the games.

 

Ya, MY posting style bugs people and makes them want to quit. Good god!

 

I rest my case.

 

Here's a look at all of the team winning percentages -



Green are the 'contenders'.
Blue are fighting for playoff positioning.
Brown, well, they suck.

Damn that's a level graph in the blue section. Only 4 losses separates MIA from OKC.

If the Blazers can finish the season strong, I'd say they're encroaching on the green part of the graph. Not too bad for the 2nd youngest team in the league.

 

Yes. And we're definitely more of a contender than Boston.

 

We're now 5 games ahead of 10th place Clippers. The gap is widening.

 

The hell are you talking about? Do you plan these posts, or do they just come to you?

 

Race for two seed:

Warriors 52-17 ---
Blazers 42-26 9.5

 

I dont know about always but right now i would agree. Boston is all banged up and we can take them in a series. Making us more of a contender than them.
Opinions.

 

I don't think Boston this year is any better than Portland.
But imo they have a better chance of going deeper in the playoffs than Portland does.
Just due to the West being so much better than the East.

 

How is Denver's 9 game win streak going? They're a lock for third, right?

 

If the Blazers win tonight and Houston finishes off Minnesota right now then the Blazers will be a full 4 games up on 5th place with only 12 games left.

In other words, a win tonight and the Blazers would have to completely fall apart not to secure home court advantage in the 1st round.
