    They are polling people who lets ESPN tell them what to think. I take it with a grain of salt.

    Interesting how the entire rest of the U.S. (AND the international votes) voted a lower percentage for us. We had the highest percentage vote count of any state for the Blazers to miss the playoffs. Have we really given up on them?

    Can you blame them?

    20-20 since Jan. 2nd.

    12-14 since Febuary 1st.

    5-9 since Mar. 1st

    Nothing to really get all too excited about.

    Yet the entire rest of the world thinks we have the second-lowest chance of missing the playoffs.

    It's people that are on espn.com and taking a poll... I don't take a lot of stock in it either way.

    I'm watching the replay of the game... Hibbert has 9 points in the first 5 minutes and they are going straight at Oden... he doesn't look good.

    Agreed. Olshey came up with a plan, and it's working better than I thought it could. Stay the course.

    watching the clipper - dallas game. I think everyone hates the clippers. They seem to get under everyone's skin.

    The Sixers have lost 26 straight, tying 2010-11 Cavs for longest losing streak ever. 76ers makes history with a loss to Pistons on Saturday.
