Portland continues their hot play. If they continue, they could get in play in range. With that being said, I wonder what happens with Utah. They have been on this middle no where for a few years. Start the season off good/ok and then suck the second half. This year there was no really good play....just suck. Although, they have seen the Spurs zoom past them. Portland has progressed with some nice young players. Utah has a ton of picks (and hitting the lottery in a good year can change your future fast), but they really haven't "hit a homerun" on them yet. I like Lauri but you have to wonder after this year if he stays in Utah if things don't change for the better quickly.
Maybe they get lucky, but right now they are the negative of breaking things down and collecting picks. Especially when other teams are positioned better with good, established young talent.
