The Portland Trail Blazers have only played once game since we last looked at the Western Conference playoff picture, though that's hardly been the case for many of the teams they're jockeying with for position in the standings. While there hasn't been much movement, thanks to a game-winning putback by our old pal Wesley "Iron Man" Matthews, the Trail Blazers moved into fourth by a few percentage points with the Thunder falling to the Pacers in Indianapolis Thursday night. The Thunder are the only team in the Top 8 of the West with a losing record in their last 10 games, and their schedule is probably the most difficult of the current playoff teams, which bodes well for Portland's chances of surpassing their Northwest Division rival, though Oklahoma City does hold the tiebreaker.
