Playoff Race Update » One Win And They're In

While there is still much to be decided with 10 games over the course of 17 days left to play in the regular season, the Portland Trail Blazers are in a great place after winning their last three, six of their last seven and seven of their last 10.

They clinch a spot in the Western Conference playoffs for the sixth straight season with their next win, which could come as early as Monday night versus the Nets, they're just one game behind the Rockets for third and also own the tiebreaker should it come to that, they've got a little separation from the 5-6-7-8 chase pack, they'd play the Clippers, the team they beat the last time they advance in the postseason, if the first round started today and they play their next four games are against teams from the East, a conference they've gone an NBA-best 21-5 against this season.
