I think we will see the Blazers in the coming playoffs.
People would not back the Spurs to win without LA as he is one of the most consistent points provider to the team.
I couldn't say that it was already over for 'em but it would be very tough for the team to bound in, that is for certain. 18 ppg was a big thing considering that there aren't many shooters or who average in terms of point the same as or as close as to Derozan and LA 'cause the rest are averaging 11-10 ppg below
. Not sure about Blazers (is Dame gonna play the remaining 8 games? 'cause if he's sure, it'll be a different story). However, in their conference Pelicans and Grizzlies are the heavy favorites. On top of that, these teams I mentioned, many of their players are averaging in double figures. Not to mention Kings, they are pretty scary team as well
