    If you listened to MIXUM and/or KingSpeed, you'd probably think so. ;)

    That said, however, I think it is an important game to win at this point. I'd be pretty disappointed if the Blazers lost four-out-of-five....especially another one at home to a relatively mediocre team with one of their big guns now out.

    What say you?

    Nope. As I have said all along, every season you will win games you shouldn't win, and you will lose games you shouldn't have lost. It's all about the record in the end. Plus, when you think about it when we face Boston next week they are going to be down both KG and Wallace. So we get a little gift there in matchup strength. I watched some of the Orlando game last night, they are playing like ass. I expect a W there.

    No. Too many ups and downs to a season like we are having. The only MUST game will be at the end of the season in order for us to get in the playoffs or a game 7.

    I'm HOPING for a win! This is a winnable game, but no game makes or breaks the season at this point.

    Completely agree with you here - we can't afford to drop games against the weak Eastern conference, home or away. We already blew a 6-point overtime lead to these bums in Wisconsin.

    Exactly what are you expecting from the team this year? About the only goal I have is making the playoffs. You don't have to win them all to make the playoffs. You just have to win enough. Any goals beyond that, are unrealistic unless Greg makes it back this year. We just don't have the front line depth to want for more.

    If you get to a Game 7. Sometimes a Game 4 can be must win.

    We only need the #8 spot for my plan to take effect. That is, providing LA comes in #1. :tsktsk:

    speed... its not over if we lose... but every loss to these shitty teams is another nail in the coffin.


    with utah okc and the hornets coming strong... we gotta win at home vs bad teams. only 2 out of the four i mentioned get in. lets hope okc collaspes after an easy schedule and the jazz blow it up. we are the fourth team btw...
