How confident are you this Blazer team will make the post season?

I said this when we were supposedly the "best in the west" 2 weeks ago and I say it now.

Because many of us think that Craig Smith (#9) has already demonstrated that he is perfectly solid, that Nolan Smith (#10) is as likely as any late-1st-round pick to be NBA ready, and that Elliott Williams (#11) has top-notch NBA athleticism and the confidence necessary to perform well if given an opportunity.

i forgot about smith ... i guess we are 9 deep but i don't consider nolan or elliott to really have an impact this year. i haven't seen anything yet to make me think they will be anywhere close to rotational players this season.

i think we make the playoffs as a 5-7 seed and might make it out of the first round depending on the match up.

I said it before and I'll say it again...... 36 wins, 6th seed.

Is that where you hope this team is every year? Whoo hoo!!!!! 6th seed

Not at all. Prior to the Crawford and Thomas signings, I thought we were lottery bound.

So you mean actually having something to get excited about for the future?


Oh, and had Crawford gone elsewhere this team right now would have a better record

 

[Carlito]

I don't know mm... I think we would be same

I am fairly confident we will make the playoffs but I also have a feeling that a bunch of trades at the deadline could shake up the whole seedings. And that could be a good thing or a bad things for us. I am slowly but surely learning to expect the unexpected that really should have been expected to begin with this crazy season.
