We have GOT to make up ground here in March. POR SA OKC We have no more back to backs this month after tonight, and have relatively easier competition with many days off for rest (4 in a row this upcoming week). I think we can move up to 7 for sure, but higher than that will be tough.
That 8 game stretch for the Spurs that starts at Miami and ends in Boston, is pretty brutal. If they finish better than 2-6 over those 8 games I'd be shocked. If they can split those games, then they deserve to finish higher than the Blazers!
Yep. Especially with Parker out, it's gonna be extremely tough for them to have much success with 8 games in only 13 days.
James Harden for OKC is out 2-4 weeks for a strained hammy. http://nbcsports.msnbc.com/id/35837876/ns/sports-player_news/
we arent catching okc... their sched is very easy with the nets on tap for tonight. okc beats down the bad teams unlike us. okc just beat sac in arco 1 week ago. the blazers have to match. amazingly portland hasnt played at arco since november 2008
I never gave much thought to us catching Phoenix, but they're only a game ahead of us in the standings (2 in the loss column). Here's their schedule this month: Our game on the 21st will be huge if the Suns drop 2 games next week.
I could care less what the other teams in the West do (except for the Lakers; I always root for them to lose). I just want us to keep winning and get some confidence going into the playoffs. We can beat any of the West teams in a playoff series.
