The Portland Trail Blazers have lost three straight games after upsetting the Atlanta Hawks last Wednesday.
Let’s take a look at how power rankings across the internet have the Blazers ranked:
John Schuhmann, NBA.com: No. 26 (previously No. 26)
The Blazers were officially eliminated from playoff contention with their loss in New Orleans on Saturday. That makes it three straight seasons with no postseason (not even a Play-In appearance), with the league’s fourth-worst record over that stretch.
The Blazers are the only Western Conference team that doesn’t have a win (they’re 0-13) against the top four teams in the conference.
