    It's gonna be a royal/royless thrashing, anyway.

    Crap, I'm already down in the dumps following the Falcons absolutely self-destructing in the 2nd half against the Cardinals.

    That said, I certainly don't want an 0-fer-3 weekend (including last night's Blazer debacle.)

    The same reasons we watched the Boston game. Maybe they lose, but maybe they win.

    I'm just afraid to go 0-fer for the weekend.

    Yeah, it could happen. But even with Roy they'd be the underdog. To me, to lose this game would be expected and I wouldn't feel too angry about it, not like losing to, say, OKC. But if they won, then I would really be glad I watched it.

    I'll watch. Hope to see improvements from Bayless, the growth of Oden, if Aldridge takes command, and see how Rudy reacts to being a starter. PLus, it is the Blazers and I never will miss a game if I don't have to.

    We watch because we are Blazer fans and we support them through wins and losses.

    You got to be stronger then that. I watch every Grizzlies game I can even though I expect to loose.

    The amount of fickleness within this fanbase is disgusting.

    This is one of the few games I can watch on tv so that's enough reason for me!

    OK, here's the deal:

    The Blazers have played nearly the toughest scedule in the NBA thus far, are still on coarse to win 50 games, IMO will make the playoffs, and have met/esceeded my expectations to this point.

    BUT I STILL DON'T WANT TO GO 0-FER FOR THE WEEKEND!!! I SENSE IT, AND SENSE IT LARGELY!!

    My schedule does not show a game on TV. How are you all watching? I don't have comcastoff and was just wondering. I need to record it if it is on as I will not be available for game time. Help!!:sigh:

    I don't watch Blazer games unless there is a 77.8% chance that they'll win.
