    The Blazers magic number is 1 to clinch being at least in the top-6.

    The highest probability of matchups for us is either 3-6 vs LAC or 4-5 vs UTA. LAC is slightly more likely.

    Easy:

    OKC and SAS both losing solidifies our top 5 seeding.

    FUCK Houston.... Really.. Fuck them...

    Denver needs to lose to help our top 2 wet dream.

    1) Los Angeles Lakers at Oklahoma City Thunder

    2) Atlanta Hawks at San Antonio Spurs

    3) Houston Rockets at Sacramento Kings

    4) Denver Nuggets at Golden State Warriors

    If the Nuggets lose tonight, the Blazers would actually control their own destiny for the 2nd seed. I know that pretty much means having to win out but it's crazy that it could even get to that point.

    It's crazy that I was vehemently insisting a month ago that that was possible and not unreasonable, and I was called crazy to the point that Chad Doing promised (threatened?) to participate in the naked bike ride if it happened.

    I tweeted this 4 weeks ago. So far, the @Memphis game is the only one I've been wrong about.

    There are still too many factors to determine what it would take for that to happen. Most likely we'd need to be the 3rd seed and the Clippers would have to be 6th.

    So you'd probably want the Clippers to win tonight but lose a couple other games and the Blazers to go 4-1 in the last 5.

    Honestly, that wasn't a crazy prediction at all. I mean, since the all-star break, they've essentially achieved exactly what they should have based on record and location.

    The thing that I couldn't get anyone to acknowledge was the fact that Denver's final 1/4 season schedule was going to be very difficult, and that there was a legitimately realistic chance for them to go .500 over that span.
