    When he's ready, he's ready. We shouldn't need his help over the next three games.

    Good news if you ask me. Wait til we come home. We might go 3-0 without him right?

    These are road games. Do you really believe the Blazers will go 3 and 0 when their road record is a cumulative 10-17?

    I always believe they're going to win until they lose.

    Yes, although the back-to-back with Minny has me a bit concerned. And the Blazers are 5-6 on the road since Brandon went down.

    Good point, just looking at the competition. I guess we should have swept NJ/Philly/DC too though.

    But they're getting better all the time . . . If you'd told me 6 months ago that we could beat San Antonio and Chicago without Roy, Camby, or Oden, I would have laughed. I think the road record will improve the longer these guys play together.

    I don't expect us to do better than 1-2 in these 3 road games. We are just plain BAD on the road right now.

    I'm a fan. Of course I believe they're going to win.

    Just because your a fan doesn't mean you have to run around with blinders on all the time either.

    There's a difference between what I believe and what I think. I believe we can beat the Raptors, Pistons and T'Wolves. I think we may have one down game.

    Toronto has 14 wins on the season, Minnesota 13. The team should go at least 2-1 on the road trip, especially if Camby comes back.

    As for Roy, I say bring him back after the all-star break which is 2 weeks from today. Just give him the extra time to really do whatever he has to do to make the knee better/get in better shape. You can thing bring him back for his first game at home against the Lakers. That would give the team a huge inspirational boost. It would also give the team more time to prepare for Roy's return and how he will be used.

    This team deserves some good luck. I really hope he is able to come back strong, even if it is for shorter minutes per game.
