    After we lose back to back this week in Houston and SA? Will there still be love floating around or will MIXUM make his return talking about how horrible we are?

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I'll still love them.

    I expected losses on the Texas Twosome trip. Wins would be fantastic.

    First off, I say the Blazers will win one of these two.

    Second, by then the Blazers will probably have clinched a playoff berth, meaning that MIXUM per his own agreement can't post negative crap until next season.

    Who knows how I'll feel? I'm hoping for an 11 game win streak to close the season.

    I'll be fine unless they are complete disgraceful blow outs. The goal to me was playoffs this year, and it seems almost inevitable.

    Losing to SA on the road won't ruffle my feathers. Houston, OTOH, is a team we should be able to hang with. I know, I am :deadhorse:.....but this is one of those situations where lack of experience is really hurting us.

    Funny, I'm the opposite.

    SA is not as good as in 07, 05, or 03.

    Houston matches up real well versus us... excellent perimeter defenders (Battier, Artest), quick guards (Brooks and even Lowry can penetrate), and physical big men (to push around Aldridge) with Yao in the middle. They match up very well versus us, IMO...far better than SA.

    Correct me if I am wrong - but this would be the first time we play SA with Oden, and the same with Houston, no?

    This can be a big difference maker.

    So if we should win one of the two then experience isn't a problem,,,at least this situation?

    Considering I predicted they would both be losses, it wouldn't phase me.

    I see your point.

    The Spurs aren't the team they were, but Duncan can still dominate anybody, and Parker will eat Blake/Sergio like they were ligonberry crepes! :breakfast:

    I'll probably blame Greg and/or Sergio.

    seeing as the memphis game is between the Houston and SA game they won't lose those two back to back.

    We cant lose to them back to back cause we dont play them back to back. Even if we lose to both those teams we will have stomped Memphis in the middle. If those are our only two loses for the rest of the season I'm ok with that.

    If Portland beats EITHER SA or Houston this season on the road, I'll be delighted.

    Of course, I'll accept both regular season and playoff games.
