    :D This schedule got hard in a hurry, but you'd hardly notice it by the results.

    I am shocked that we went 5-1 over this six-game stretch. Simply incredible and unbelievable considering the circumstances. I love this team!

    If we can dominate the upcoming schedule when we play 9/10 at home, we'll be sittin' pretty by the time the All-Star game rolls around.

    I'm taking this one game at a time... every game day I say aloud "I don't think we can win..." then predict a win in the game thread, because I said I would. Then watch the game, and cheer cheer cheer as they play the hardest, guttiest basketball this side of Houston post-Yao.

    Just enjoy the ride. I remember when the big 13 game win streak happened a couple of years ago and expectations got really out of whack only to see a bunch of angry confused people posting when the team settled back down to Earth. Who knows how long this run will last and maybe they pull off something really 'magical', but betting on it isn't going to cover the spread (so to speak).

    They would have gone 6-0 had Nate been fired, Roy wasn't selfish, and BLANKY never left the bench.

    I'm actually disappointed since making these obvious moves would result in one more win.

    The Blazers are winning because they are playing hard on every play. With only 8 or so players they have that "backs to the wall mentality". They can not let up for the "easier" teams or they will lose. Very little room for error here. I love their tough minded resolve. That comes from Nate.

    You're just bitter because everyone had been screaming for Miller to start over Blake, it finally happened, and the team is winning. :devilwink:
