First of all, I'm still holding out hopes that the Blazers can somehow pass Houston for the 3rd spot. If so, the likely opponent would be New Orleans or Dallas (perhaps, Utah, but I still see them free-falling ). Currently, the Hornets are one game ahead of the Mavs. However, they play each other in a home and home - beginning tonight. I would think most of us would be pulling for New Orleans..................since the RG doesn't really appear to bother Dallas all that much. (...although, in any event, the RG will be ROCKIN' for the playoffs!) BTW, here are the Hornets and Mavs remaining schedules: New Orleans: @Dallas; Dallas; @Houston (b2b); @San Antonio Dallas: New Orleans; @New Orleans; Minnesota(b2b); Houston Interestingly, Houston is the common denominator between all of us. (Root HARD for New Orleans to win in Houston.) Go Blazers!
why in gods name would you wanna play dallas in the first round? isnt that the team that swept us and beat us twice at home? trust me... the blazers dont want dallas or houston in round 1.
???? The goal is to play New Orleans. The Hornets can help in that endeavor by taking care of Dallas and Houston.
Tell me why the Blazers wouldn't face the Hornets? Plus, wouldn't have to play the Lakers until the WCF. Only fitting.
I think we need to stop being scared and realize other teams are probably a little scared of us. Sure, Dallas may have swept the season series, but the playoffs are a whole different ballgame.
