and if we put flex seal on nurks leg, the title is ours.

Our center depth is enough to win next 5 games. And just think, we’d actually win the division title again after trailing big against OKC and Denver a lot of the season.

I want both. No use getting to 2nd round if you can’t win when you get there. We haven’t won a second round series since 2000. That’s gotta change.

Not gonna change with no Nurkic.

Was it realistic to finish ahead of Boston, New Orleans (who had no major injuries), and Lakers?

We could come up with a million unrealistic things that youve said that havent happened. Just because theres flukey things that happen here or there doesnt make anything you say realistic.
 
Houston has a very easy schedule. Clippers the toughest they face. Could realistically get #2 with Portland and Denver going 3/4. Guess we'll see in a week or so.
 
Since Nurk went down, the team has played teams with a combined record of 122-188 (approx 40% winning %). The one team they played with a winning record (Detroit)? They lost.

Yes, it's mathematically possible to get the 2nd seed. But it's just as likely they'll get the 5th seed. If anything, it's probably more likely they'll get the 5th seed over the 3rd or 2nd.

That was also four road games in six days, so strength of schedule kinda goes out the window.

Still, I agree that 5 seed is most likely. But the Nuggets have been getting beaten down lately. I think that tonight's game will be very telling on what the final week will hold for them.

In my mind, yes. Without Nurk, I think the most likely scenario for the Blazers is losing both games to Denver, finishing 52-30. I think the Jazz will most likely win out, also finishing 52-30. And I think Houston wins at least 3 of their final 4 to finish 53-29.

I think the Clippers are the one team that can help us more than any other, since they host both the Jazz and Rockets in the final week.

We have a chance of apx. 12% at a 5th seed or lower. I highly doubt Utah wins out.

TBH, I don't care if we win a playoff game, so long as we make the second round.

That's just me, though.

Seriously? If we get swept again... I don't care if it's without Nurk and CJ that's just pathetic. I mean if the Blazers are going to lose in the 1st round I'd definitely rather it be in 6 or 7 then 4. Definitely, want a 2nd round appearance, but I'm going to self-ban myself for a few days this time if they get swept...
 
As of now, mathematically, 4th is most likely. 3rd is a strong possibility because we own the tie breaker vs HOU. We need to beat these crappy teams we're playing and we'll seal HCA. Even if we lose two to DEN, Utah has to win out to even invoke a tiebreaker. HCA is pretty much guaranteed unless we fuck up the games we are supposed to win.

We are about as likely to finish 2nd as we are 5th

It was a joke, yo. It's hard to make the second round without winning a game.

Maybe by disqualification...

Lol, I thought you were saying that winning a couple of games wouldn't do anything for you, which is actually a fair take if you think getting to the 2nd round is the only way the season is successful.

At this point I say the Blazers need 6 wins to get in.
