You should have gone with more MIXUM-esque title, like, "Blazers contrasted with Jazz, other playoff contenders which 'understand sense of urgency leading into playoffs'"

You man "Blazer Schedule = SEASON OVER". Just telling it like it is.

Or how about:

"Columbian on Blazers: Urgency Abounds (Teams are playing harder and better than out of rhythm Blazers)"

Not misleading at all.

Of the 16 teams in the West, we have the toughest remaining schedule. That is, our remaining opponents have had a higher strength of schedule this season than any other Western team's opponents have had.

Look at that jump from 49 to 58 percent! Much tougher road ahead than we've had.

You can't beat the best until you play them.

Interesting way to look at that table. Subtract future minus past. I hadn't thought of that.

Yeah but...

This team lost to the Nets and Kings, beat the Magic and Spurs.

Games are not won or lost on paper.
