Also, consider the age of our team. If Raef wasn't on the team we'd be the youngest team in the nba. Raef is sucking us out of the record book.
I find it interesting that we are the only team in the NBA with a winning record that has a negative point differential. I suppose that with only 10 games, the Lakers' blowout is still skewing the stats.
As I've complained before, Nate keeps sending the other team to the FT line in close games where we're behind. So, in games most teams would lose by 3 or 4, we lose by 7 or 8.
Ya gotta love it. We're not playing anywhere near our potential.... and we're still winning. That chapukketta-chapukketta, wheeeze, bang sound you hear is the blazers trying to fire on all their cylinders. Around playoff time we might be hearing the scream of a formula 1 engine.
Considering the start Utah had... and the schedule we had... WOW. I never thought we'd catch them so quick.
We're tied for the largest win streak in the Western Conference!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! .... .... ... at one game
This was also noticeable last year during The Streak. Hollinger harped on it and kept saying we'd fall back to earth. He was right. Portland really needs to dispense a blowout, to take the Laker game off the books for point differential.
Portland is going to be a damn good team. I could see them grabbing a top-four seed. I'm highly encouraged by their start.
Yup. They've played 9 very competitive games and lost 1 big blowout. Take out the Lakers game and the team would have a differential almost exactly 0 (-1). That's quite good considering the competition so far.
