    This has been posted ad nauseum... It's still frustrating though.

    They fail to talk about the abysmal record they have against the top 5 teams in the league. Conveniently, of course.

    It seems we have to do well in the playoffs before some people consider us legit.

    I understand saying the Spurs are best in West, I suppose, but "it's not even close" makes no sense.

    But the question is about this year. Not previous years. We should do well in playoffs, though, because we are an elite road team.

    Awesome! The fewer people on the Blazer bandwagon the better.

    I didn't see anything that indicated the opinion wasn't provided before the last Spurs game.

    I hope but you got to remember that the playoffs are another ball game. When it comes to the playoffs it doesn't matter what happened in the regular season.

    You can't all of the sudden win in playoffs. It's all about forming good habits during the regular season and building confidence. Our ability to win on road in regular season will absolutely help in playoffs.

    Is it too late to start tanking to the 8th spot and let the Spurs get the number one seed so we can destroy them in the first round of the playoffs?

    Someone please post a copy of that on the bulletin board in the visitor's locker room in Houston tomorrow, OKC on Tuesday and again prior to the start of every playoff game. This team plays best when they have a chip on their shoulder and think they have something to prove. That should do it.

    We've received criticism from the beginning of the year because we weren't in the playoffs last years. Obviously some of those criticisms are still there. Frankly, I think there are as many on the bandwagon as are going to get on until we actually win a playoff series. We now receive plenty of national respect so I am OK with that.

    It is kinda cool that we have 2 national tv games this week. I wonder when the last time that happened for us was?

    Any scout who doesn't think you even need to worry about OKC isn't much of a scout.
