Portland has played 31 home games (23-8) and 23 road games (10-13). That puts them on pace for 48-34, which is right where 538 has them.

Anyways, looking forward to a 4-3 series win over the Rockets, then a 4-2 series win over GS and a Jazz/Nuggets conference finals (probably a Jazz sweep). The question we should be focused on now is how do we contain the Greek Freak?
 
I think that the warriors, nuggets, and thunder are out of reach but i think that we will pass houston and portland by the end of the season.

Im calling it now. Jazz will get the 4 seed.

Four seed would suck unless GS falls out of first.

Any other team is beatable.

3 or 6 please.

I agree but everyone will have to go through golden state and no one is going to beat them (if healthy of course). But ya, getting to the 3rd round is better than getting to the 2nd round.
At the same time getting to the 2nd round is better than getting to the 1st round. ( so getting a favorable first round matchup and then facing the warriors in round 2 might be better than a bad matchup in round 1 with the ability to dodge the warriors in round 2 that you never even get to)
Just win as many games as possible.

Would be awesome if something crazy happened like the lakers got the 8 seed and lebron went nuclear and took the warriors out.
 
One other thing, and I know this is a HUGE reach, is that maybe you have a better chance of beating the warriors earlier in the playoffs. Maybe they aren't going as hard in round 2 as they are in the conference finals since the stage isn't quite as big and they cant quite smell the finals yet.
Im mostly just kidding though. Thats a huge reach on my part. Especially if you look at all the *** kickings they have handed out in the early rounds of the playoffs over the last few years.
