Heh. That 72-10 Bulls team lost 2 in a row once and otherwise lost a game here and there. They won 69 the next season and 62 the season after. They won 67 the middle season of their 1st threepeat. Just to give you all something to shoot for.
portland failing to take advantage of their easy early schedule is definitely a bad thing. but that doesn't mean anyone was wrong for pointing out that the schedule was easy early and that if the blazers started well they could jump out to a great record.
I have a feeling we will have a 7-8 record in December (Losses with Miami, Houston, Cleveland, Phoenix, Dallas, Miami, San Antonio, and Denver again.
portland definitely needs to get some wins in their next 6 games(they should be favored in 5 of them) because the 6 after that are brutal. home against phoenix, a road back to back with orlando and miami, a road back to back with dallas and san antonio, and then home to denver.
You should set a reminder in Google Calendar to bump this thread every year. Every season begins as a flowering virgin, ripe with possibility. Yeah, we all know the scabby whore is a-comin', but a guy can dream.
YES! I love that ABM is willing to laugh at himself. I couldn't find this thread when I looked a couple of weeks ago. 18-0 here we come! :MARIS61:
Seriously, you should stop by Grand Central Bowl next Monday evening. I wasn't kidding when I said I would buy you a beer or two.
