    1 1/2 games out of third place.

    We've got a relatively easy game on Tuesday and two tougher games on Thursday and Saturday, all at home. Then it's five home games, all but one of which is winnable. The one tough home game is against Golden State. Let's hope for five wins and three losses or pray for 6 wins and two losses.

    Sacramento Kings - W
    Minnesota Timberwolves - L
    Oklahoma City Thunder - L
    Los Angeles Lakers - W
    New York Knicks - W
    Golden State Warriors - L

    That’s my prediction. Hopefully we win all of these next 6 though.

    I can’t get used to any good that happens to the Blazers. I’m always waiting for the other shoe to drop.

    The Wolves, Kings, & Lakers have front court games, that give us issues, so if we are not shooting well even against these guys, it could be 3&3 or 2&4.
    In fact I will predict 3 & 3.

    Totally agree. Blazers play the Okey Dokes well, and I believe the team is better now than when it lost to the Timber Pups earlier this season.

    Minnesota are without Butler, it's a very winnable game, and Oklahoma are very inconsistent. We might actually win the next 5.

    When we win shooting terribly like the Suns game...I have hope the next game will make the rim a little bigger..Wes Mathews always used to say...you gotta win ugly games..

    Minny should be considered a must-win. Towns always gives the Blazers trouble, but Wiggins can't pick up Butler's efficient scoring.

    I agree with King that the Blazers should win both. The Twolves are without yheir heart and soul Jimmy B and we are 2-0 vs OKC...gotta win those

    @KingSpeed We'll lose to either Minnesota or OKC at home.

    Why do you say that? You said we'd lose last night. I think you thought we'd lose to Utah and GS too.
