Now, the sonics are gone, and the Blazers are looking good....RIP CITY =)

Although, in all honesty, I still have not gotten back in to the Blazers like I did in the 90's...I loved them...

Bandwagon much? I hear they're still room on the Cleveland cart.

Oden has to figure out how to play without fouling. 4 fouls in 22 minutes. No way can he be a force in the playoffs unless he gets a handle on this.

With Joel Przybilla playing like he's playing? Oden's playing very well, better than he gets credit for. Half his fouls are bullshit anyway, and he isn't fouling out of games. He does dominate the middle when he's in. He rebounds well and changes shots in the paint. They don't need Oden to play 40 mnutes anyway.

LOL @ the Dan Reed Network. Man, that song was bad.

so does anyone know what happens if 4 teams are tied at 54-28?


edit: rockets would win the southwest and be guaranteed 2nd or 3rd according to the article i just read

They have that convoluted formula which involves looking at their conference record, division record, their records between each other, etc. It's all covered here.

As for standings, this page breaks down all possible scenarios for the final standings after tonight's games.

and the Blazers would go 4 because the have the tie-breaker over the Spurs!

the nba west is soooo good. yeah, the champs may be from the east, but there's really only 3 teams worth watching over there. no one cares which sacrificial lamb gets to go to boston or orlando in the first round

Aaah ... was thinking of players not the damn coach :| Regardless ... I recently moved to the West Coast of British Columbia ... and since Vancouver lost the Grizzlies a while ago, and the former Sonics have moved, Portland is the closest team to support. That, plus they're on the rise, and I really dig watching Brandon Roy play.

 

[Inspector Jihad]

this is going to be a good playoffs. i'm excited to see how it turns out.

 

[wkabel23]

no steve nash in playoffs...ahhhhhhhh the pain.

trailblazers have a good team, i would like to see bayless get some more PT or you guys trading him...

i never quite understood nba bashers...the western playoffs are going to be filled with amazing basketball. how can you not like that?

You have no idea what you're talking about...

I was a blazer fan the majority of my life- I started getting in to the Sonics because the Blazers when to complete SHIT- and I don't mean record wise- I stuck with them through losing seasons, when they were not winning at all...the players they had on their team when I started getting in to the sonics were the reason I strayed- they were nothing like the old Blazer teams.
And I should mention, I was a fan of the sonics when they were in the cellar- they had 1 good year, that was it. So I'm not chasing winning teams, or "bandwagoning" as you call it.

Hell, I know a lot of die hard blazers fans that strayed for a while there- they were a team of bums...

Its a damn shame that Vancouver and Seattle lost their teams. My 1st playoff game was 1991 at the Seattle Center when Sedale Threatt hit a 3 at the buzzer to beat Portland and avoid the sweep...those Sonics fans went nuts, we went home

The Grizzlies seemed to always find a way to beat Portland, no matter how good we were or how bad they were.

I'm going to miss those NW rivalries.

Man, I hope we hang on to Bayless, that guy is fearless.

Way to finish strong Portland!

1st team in NBA history to field 4 rookies and win 50 or more games, the 2nd youngest team in the league this year and Rudy breaks the rookie record for 3 pointers. This is a special team, and they even seem to like each other.......if you're a Portland fan, you just gotta love this shit.

The playoffs won't be easy....Houston has had our number this year, if Roy doesn't hit that 32'er at the buzzer, Portland would have been 0 - 3 against the Rockets this season. They throttled us out of the gate that last game in Houston, kept us from finishing the season 10 - 0.

Go Blazers!

So where did the Blazers end this year in terms of ranking? 4th?

 

[AMDZen]

I can only hope the Nuggs are saving up for the playoffs since they knew going in Houston lost. Man did they look pathetic last night

Yup, 4th;

1: Lakers
2: Nuggs
3: Spurs
4: Blazers
5: Rockets
6: Mavs
7: Hornets
8: Jazz

They didn't have much to play for, Portland pretty much NEEDS homecourt.

 

[Miramonti]

Who is the Blazer's gm? He's done a remarkable job in turning the franchise around, performance and perception.

 

[TheSlamma]

w00t!,

Nuggets in 2nd in the west and Cav's in 1st out east. I NEVER thought I would see this ever happen.

I hope the Blazers get rid of the Rockets and the Jazz upset the Gaykers!

 

[CPA]

Nuggs got a great opportunity to make it to the West Finals. They should handle the Hornets easily and then beat an aging Spurs team. However, I think their road will come to an end at the hands of the Lakers. Go Nuggs!

 

[Miramonti]

I'm looking forward to watching Chris Anderson's block party. He's a freak.
