Tuo Ji: Even if the team wins 41 games, it may miss the playoffs. The Jazz, Spurs, Pelicans, and Suns are all capable.

Today Trail Blazers reporter Chad Doing talked about the team's push for the playoffs this season during a live broadcast on the podcast "Rip City Radio".

"The competition in the Western Conference is very fierce. It may be the most unfathomable I have ever seen. It is difficult for us to enter the playoffs. In theory, even if we reach 41 wins and 41 losses, we may miss the playoffs. In addition to the outstanding Utah Jazz, other teams such as the Suns and Pelicans are also competitive. The San Antonio Spurs are also competitive. They are a team that cannot be underestimated. They have excellent young players and rookies. The team showed great fighting spirit in the game against the Warriors last week and won a crucial victory. It is very important for basketball players to focus on the game itself. This victory has a huge impact on the team's morale. Doing said.

Last season, the Trail Blazers ranked 12th in the Western Conference with 36 wins and 46 losses.
