I doubt Portland makes it out of the first round. They certainly aren't winning two rounds. I would take the Spurs, Warriors, Thunder (if they make it), Grizzlies, and probably Mavs over Portland. Toss up with the Clippers and Rockets. Those are the 8 playoff teams from the West unless the Thunder don't make it.
We shall see tonight what they really have. They've been blessed by playing the better teams at home and on the back end of roadies. But if they beat Memphis tonight, then set up my seatback.

If Blazers start losing than Seattle fans will get jealous and the Sonic talk will heat up....fruitlessly.
Either way it will be interesting.
