Prognosis: If Roy can stay healthy, the playoffs are a lock. But everything has to go right — especially Oden's development — to get a top-four seed.

Don't know about you guys, but I think top 2 would be lock.

if Roy has another year like last year.. and Oden plays at a consistent level and dominates like last night even.. then yes Top 2 is a lock.. expecially with the addition of Miller over Sergio, and The basic free agent pickup of Webster.

even if roy got hurt for an extended time... this team should still make the playoffs. too much talent not too

I agree to that as well.. but Healthy Roy at the level of last year is lock at top 2 with Oden being consistent.

I don't really have any issue with his strengths/weaknesses, but his prognosis seems a bit off to me. The Blazers got a top 4 seed last year. Why should "everything have to go right" to do it again? Maybe he just thinks everything went right last year, and doesn't believe the younger talent will continue to improve.

Oh I have no doubt we will make the playoffs. What i want is #2 or #3 seed. I would love to meet the Lakers in the WCF.

I know hahahaha. And FYI, we had the same record as the #2 seed last season.
