Game Thread: LA Clippers @ Portland Trailblazers 7:30 Pacific

[bksballer89]

Well, OKC will be one of those top 2 seeds. I do think teams would rather play the Mavs and Suns than the other teams but everything is so tight that nothing is set in stone. All we know is that the Rockets arent scared of the Spurs, the Clippers seem to be on the wrong side of close games and the Blazers take care of business at home.

Yeah I agree about teams wanting to play Mavs/Phx over GSW but GSW can sneak up on a team as the 6th seed just as they did to Denver last season. Have the Blazers played any of the top teams in the west away from Portland?

We will know more about Portland at the end of January. They play OKC twice in Oklahoma including once on a 4 game roadtrip where they face San Antonio, Dallas, and Houston also.
