NBA Power Rankings: LeBron James Tweets + Are The Boston Celtics For Real?
Portland Trail Blazers. 12. team. 34. <p>After a stretch in which the Portland Trail Blazers won 18 of 22 games between January and February, which helped them jump right back into the thick of the Western Conference playoff picture, the Blazers couldn’t have picked a worse time to fall into a slump.</p><div class=. (33-31). Previous: 8th
Portland has now lost three games in a row – to the Celtics, Raptors and Pistons – and are now only two games (in the loss column) ahead of the 9th seeded Utah Jazz. Even though Portland is in the 7th seed out West, by no means does it mean their spot in the playoffs is guaranteed.
The Blazers were playing at a very high level during the first two months of 2016 and if they want to reach the playoffs, they’re going to have to find a way to keep that level of play up. In their last three games that simply hasn’t been the case.
