    Great game tonight. So emotional. The turning point was when Turiaf missed his free throws when we were down 9.

    So at 3-0, we are one of seven undefeated teams joining the Nets, Warriors, Lakers, Thunder, Hawks, and Hornets. Ever since the Blazers started the year 11-0 in 1990, I've always enjoyed watching the battle to be the last team standing. This year, we are in the battle! Very exciting. And so this thread is established to follow that battle. If we can win our next 4 (all playoff teams, 3 on the road), we'll be in good position to take the crown.

    I also enjoy watching the battle be the last winless team but that's for another thread.

    Go Blazers!

    So what you're saying is that you're an advanced complainer, keeping up to date on things to complain about, even in fields you are not actively interested in?

    Ahahahahaha YES! I may have missed it but this is the first time I've seen "fools gold" this season. Gave me a much needed laugh. Thanks!

    I agree that the Chicago and OKC games will be the first major test of the season. But I also think it is important that teams have "Another Gear" they can go into when the games are tougher. Back when Pat Riley was coaching Miami in the early 90's, they would always win a shitload of games during the regular season, but when the playoffs came around, they didn't have another gear to go into, and would lose in the playoffs. A lot of the time in the first round. What I am watching for with the Blazers, is to see if they have another gear. Right now, the 4th quarter has shown me that gear. The question is, will they bring that level of play when they play the good teams?

    Undefeated Warriors and Lakers face off tonight so at the end of the night, we'll be one of only 5 undefeated teams, possibly 4 if the Thunder lose to the hungry Jazz.

    So, the Thunder lost to the Jazz who lost to the Suns who lost to the Blazers? Am I reading it right?
