Blazers very close to Warriors out West

[KingSpeed]

I just noticed while we are 25-15 within the Western Conference, the Warriors are only 28-12. In other words, Warriors have a much better record than us because they beat up on East teams better than we did. But when it comes to conference record, we are much closer to the Warriors than you would think. And we won the season series. I think we are closer to the Warriors this season than people would think. Also- I think we're going to beat Houston twice before the season is over. We had 14 point lead going into 4th quarter in our only previous meeting. We don't blow leads like that anymore. They're in trouble.

The team feels different than it did before February. Just like last year. Good things afoot!

We play best ball when our backs are against the wall.

But our backs aren't against the wall. We are in third with a 1.5 game cushion.

I hope they aren't peaking too soon.

We only need an 11 game win streak and for the Warriors to have an 11 game losing streak for us to tie for 2nd!

If you read his post, it wasn't about overall record, it was about record against Western Conference opponents where we're only three games behind GSW.
