Thursday, March 5th - Get Your Popcorn Ready, Folks...

All seedings can change in a few weeks. You can never know. However I am thinking grabbing the 4th spot will give us that extra home turf if its pushed to 7 games.

 

NW Division title is ours! Let's take it!
Denver then travels to play Utah the next night. This race is going to get crazy with Denver possibly finding itself from leader to third in the division in a matter of 2-3 days.

 

When bettors look at NBA games some factors they consider:

2nd game of a back to back - the team on the back to back wins at a lower percentage than normal.

Altitude - non altitude teams win at a lower percentage than normal.

Road game - team's win at a lower percentage than at home

Opponent record - team's lose more games to better teams. Duh.

The second game of a back to back - on the road - against a very good team. Ridiculous.

At the beginning of the season, you look at a game on the schedule like this, and curse the schedule maker for handing you a near guaranteed loss.

It will be very difficult for the Blazers to win this game. They may have a 10% chance.

 

Here's to good ol' Mr. 10%!

 

We don't win in Denver very often but we had almost no chance of winning the lottery 2 years ago and look what happened!

Actually I'm considering a grass roots campaign to move Salt Lake City and Denver to Texas. Then agree to just take the 10 losses we'd get in Texas if we went there and just avoid the state all together. I think it would just be easier on the Blazers and the message board fans... either that or ask the team doctors to prescribe all of us lithium.

 

No doubt! They've been sweeping us for years! I don't think tonight's game is a guaranteed win by any means and I really really don't want the players to be thinking about Denver right now.

 

7:30 cant come soon enough!

 

I recently purchased a sampler (6 varieties) 12-pack of Dundee beer. I'm sure I'll be enjoying more than one of those this evening.

That said, I've almost resigned myself to the fact that we have virtually no shot at winning tonight's game. It's helping me to cope.

Masbee's words continue to haunt me:

 

Hopefully Joel isnt too sick today and can play and be effective tonight. It's gonna be tough to win tonight, but without Joel's defense and rebounding I would give us ZERO chance to win if he cant go.

 

Popcorn isnt ready but pizza and beer are!

 

I'm drinking Dundee IPA's tonight.

 

I've got Full Sail Amber, Bridgeport IPA, and McMenamins Hammerhead.
