    Re: Who do we root for?


    I agree with this statement.

    Houston/Utah is a tough one, but I hate Utah more. Dallas and Phoenix are our best two chances of making the playoffs so they always take precident in who I root to have lose.

    Re: Who do we root for?

    I'm rooting for Houston to knock back Utah. They are only a 1/2 game behind us, and have been playing very well lately. First step for the playoffs is winning the division. Have to focus on winning the division before focusing on moving up to 3rd or 2nd in the standings. Winning the division starts with us knocking off Denver, and having them lose, but I'm more concerned about Utah in our division than Denver.

    I agree with you MM. If the teams behind us keep losing then we make the playoffs for sure.

    Re: Who do we root for?

    Exactly my take as well, and to go even further, the loss column is really all that matters to me at this point.

    I understand where you are going with that - but I still do not know what it has to do with you not being a vision blurring droplets of water... ;)

    :sigh: Why can both Utah and Houston both lose???? Is that too much to ask??? :dunno: If they both hold each other scoreless do they both lose??? Dare to dream, dare to dream . . .

    I just want the Blazers to win! Does it matter who wins or looses behind us if we loose?

    I am just thankful I am not anal enough to pick through all the posts and point out spelling errors like some do. ;)

    If 1 team is ahead of us and the other team is behind us I root for the team behind us.

    I don't root for any of them. This is all about what the Blazers do, not what they do.

    Root for the blazers and who the hell cares about the rest of it. if portland wins the rest will take care of itself. haven't you people learned from the past week, rooting for teams like the lakers will only let you down.

    That's "for whom do we root?"

    Here's the answer: all of the games have to go to dectuple overtime with multiple (non career-threatening) injuries along the way.

    Meanwhile, back in the real world where teams don't win every game they play, scoreboard watching is a crucial (and fun) part of playoff races in any sport.

    Re: Who do we root for?

    If the Blazers win tonight it will effect my desire for who else wins or looses, does it not. If we are assuming that we are going to win and we root for Utah and them they win and we loose we have rooted for the wrong team.

    I don't have the capacity to know who to root for until I know if we win or not then I get to see just how fortunate the Blazers and me are. (great grammer I know)

    Re: Who do we root for?

    NO!!!!!

    Dectuple overtime, GOOD.
    Exhausted players, incapable of so much as closing their mouths to avoid drooling, GOOD.
    Injuries, NOT GOOD.
