@Orion Bailey ....I haven't looked at SoS of other teams. Most of today has been spent putting together a 401K plan so only so much time to go around. Portland has had a difficult schedule but as
@Minstrel pointed out, they have lost games that they should be winning. Games like getting beat by Detroit at home and getting blown out by teams like Denver somewhat invalidate the SoS piece from Portland's end.
The Blazers' schedule should get a little easier and other teams may get more difficult. But no matter what other teams do, Portland is quite a ways behind teams that have played nearly .600 ball for the first half of the season. The Blazers would have to win EVERY game against the <.500 teams and a more than a few against the Playoff teams to even think about getting to the #7 seed.
I just don't see that happening even if other teams fall off.
