The Portland Trail Blazers’ postseason hopes are all but dashed.

Aaron Fentress has finally accepted that reality. Craig Birnbach, who gave up on this team two months ago, was not shy with the gloating.

On the latest episode of the Blazer Focused podcast, Fentress of The Oregonian/OregonLive, and Birnbach discuss the team’s performance on the road leading up to the Tuesday night’s loss against the New York Knicks.

They hit on:

- Blazers showed signs of life at Philadelphia then looked looked abysmal in New Orleans.

- Blazers likely must go at least 10-3 the rest of the way to have a chance. That’s highly unlikely. But Damian Lillard and Chauncey Billups have not given up.

- No postseason means lottery pick, which isn’t a bad thing.

- Much more.
