Hello, Rip City! And happy Saturday to you. The Trail Blazers are prepping for what should be an intense match-up with the Oklahoma City Thunder. So let’s take a quick look at what’s what and who’s who, yeah?
The West
Portland (36-26) is currently third in the Western Conference.
You read that right — third in the Western Conference.
It’s so tightly packed in the West that a loss can send a team tumbling down the standings. Minnesota, for example, was the third seed in the West when they arrived in Portland to take on the Blazers Thursday.
