Can the blazers still make the playoffs?

If you have been following the blazers this year you know that anything is possible with this group of young players. Overcoming nagging injuries to losing your future franchise player before the regular season has not helped. The officials seam to have a "hard-on" for calling piddly fouls on "Pryz" and we cant seem to win a game when Denver losses. I also have to question our coach Nate McMillan on why he pulls Steve Blake out of the game halfway through the first quarter when he is not in foul trouble and is dropping threes like a mad man and driving the lane opening up opportunities for everyone. There is a lot of things that need to come together for this to happen but is it realistic? Will Denver lose enough games to even let us take a peak into the minds of a playoff bound team? Or will we play it extra safe and watch Brandon's minutes diminish? Can we win our next three games without him, "assuming that he will only be out for that amount of time?" I think its going to be a rough second half of the season. Either way i am so exited for this team and the franchise. They have done more than they were asked to do and then some! Keep it up men!
