5th highest percentage of being champs in the league!

Better than everyone but L* in the west

Does that mean he thinks we’ll be in the WCF? I could handle a game 7 loss this year.

Actually, it’s based on his power rankings which weigh point differential very heavily.

Same idea, really.

According to the Blazers

I can pick up my playoff tickets at the Lakers game… They just sent me an e-mail today.

According the that article

We have the second higest odds to win the championship in the West!

OOOOOH!!!!! That was NASTY!!!!!!!!

Don't get too excited about that

If the team losses to Utah it will go back below 100, this is actually the 2nd time this season that the Blazers have been at 100, they were there earlier in the season before the ALL-STAR break when the team was playing really well. However the Blazers have always had a very high percentage, (relative to their record) to reach the finals in the West, and to win the championship out right. Don’t know why, but it has been that way all season.

Point Dif

I believe we’re at 9 wins of 20+ now, that’s quite a few. Hollinger loves his point differential and we do well at it.

by Zaig on Mar 30, 2009 3:33 PM PDT up reply actions  

Yup

We either win by 20 or win by 1 (or so it seems). Now if only we could get more consistent starts. I have observed that in all our big recent home wins we lead after 1….

Even a Utah loss won't do it, I suspect

We’d have to lose our next two, and Phoenix not lose.

If we beat Utah, our chances of the division probably bump up over 30%, and theirs go to about nil.

When I rule the world, everyone will know how to use Excel.

We are a lock

Magic number of 4, even assuming Phoenix wins every single game (which they won’t given their loss to SAC last night) we should have little trouble taking both OKC games and the MEM game and at least one other…

The number is 3

Blazers Broadcasters Mike Barrett and Mike Rice re-enacted NBA referee Scott Foster's controversial goaltending call on Portland Trail Blazers forward LaMarcus Aldridge, who was defending Oklahoma City Thunder All-Star forward Kevin Durant, during this week's edition of Blazers Courtside. Remarkably, no one was injured during the taping of this segment.

OK, that should just about wrap up the goaltending discussion.
