    To answer the question, I think you could make the case we win all 3. And I think you could make the case we lose all 3. That is why you play the games.

    The seeding question though, I would be shocked if we didn't get 4th or higher.

    The Blazers won't finish lower than 4. They will probably keep the 3rd seed. I think the Blazers win the next 2 against SAS and Den. The Jazz game will be the toughest remaining game. I still believe. Blazers will finish 50-32 in 3rd place.

    6 isn't possible. 5 wouldn't surprise me. But I'll be attending the 4/11 game, so we'll win and get #3.

    Best chance is probably San Antonio. Playing in Denver is always a problem, and Utah just looks scary right now. I wouldn't be shocked if they got skunked given Dame's balky ankle and the problems with the rotation with Moe and Ed out.

    Yours truly will be there also with the S2 posse. Planning on losing my voice. Going to yell the Blazers to a victory.

    With Dame (and potentially Ed) we take all 3. We're fighting for HCA - the next two teams are fighting for their playoff lives and pressure can work against you.

    And that's pretty much all that matters at this stage along with making sure all players are as healthy as they can be going into the playoffs. mediocre man seems to be the type that relishes in losses.

    I think we can get at least 1, but you never know.

    If we win the next two games then the Utah game is meaningless to us. What will be interesting is which team gets knocked out of the playoffs between Spurs, OKC, Pelicans, Twolves and Nuggets. I think the Clips are done.

    In my humble opinion, we blank the balance of the schedule. Obviously, by doing that, our seating will be determined by other teams, so I can see us at 5.

    I like our odds to finish no lower than 4th.

    It's an exciting stretch of games, that's for sure.

    It really could come down to the Utah game. The crowd needs to show up for that one from the opening tip. Can't take plays off. Need to keep the energy up and will the team to victory.

    Blazers management should be seating the S2 posse behind the Utah bench for that one.

    :cheers:

    We're 3rd now. Do you relish losses or something?

    Utah doesn't have an easy task as they play at the lakers, GS and at Portland.

    Don't blame me for your misery. I notice you never really add anything to a discussion. :mooning:

    I only use relish on a hot dog or hamburger. One thing I have noticed is your avatar is accurate, you know nothing.
