    thats the key, if we make the playoffs or not. we have to win more than 13 games on the road....something like 18-23, is that realistic?

    ...I think Bayless would help the Blazers win on the road [even if it is simply to draw some fouls by being the aggressor and driving to the basket as that seems to be one of the most advantageous things a young team can do on the road...attack...attack...attack!!!]

    You're right. We lost our first 9 on the road last year, didn't we? It was bad. 18-23 would be much better, yes.

    20 and 21 is what I think they will do. They don't have to play good teams for every road game, after all.

    I also think Portland will win a large majority of their home games. That is the next step in the evolution of a playoff team. Hold court at home, then learn to win on the road.

    Oooh. Good call. Bayless comes to the rescue by attacking without mercy in New Orleans, just like you fortold, lord and master.
