    4 games in 6 nights, 2 sets of back to backs.

    @ ORL- MON (Howard out?)
    @ MIA- TUES

    @ CHA- FRI
    @ ATL- SAT

    I think .500 is a goal to strive for.

    Let's not forget who our first opponent is when we come home (which often feels like a road game)

    Dallas.

    Rough stretch, no question.

    Whatever was wrong against Houston and Atlanta, they had better have fixed it. Otherwise, they could be looking at a 1-4 stretch. Given how tight the play-off race is, that's a scary thought.

    Holy Crap. Miami's schedule is crazy.

    NY, ORL, SA, CHI, POR, LAL, MEM, SA, OKC, ATL, DEN

    They've started 0-3 in this stretch.

    2-2 will happen if they can beat Orlando.

    I'd be very happy with 2-2. That Dallas game once we return will be tough!

    Hey HCP, I shouted for you in the loading dock after the game but you didn't hear me. I was by the blazer fan autograph area.

    I would be happy with 2-2, but wouldn't be surprise with 1-3.

    In other words, you think we can beat Charlotte again.

    That'd be quick a trick on a 4 game road trip.

    The saving grace here is that DEN goes on essentially the same trip: @NOH, @ATL, @ORL, @MIA next week. As long as we win 2 we should be fine.

    4 road games, then come home to face Dallas = tough 5 game stretch.

    sorry. jeez. 4 games on road then dallas.

    im saying if we go 1-4 we are done.

    i think we will beat the bobcats and try to steal 1 game vs ATL or ORL. Miami will wipe the floor with us. Dallas at home is wildcard. If we play the way we did vs chicago... we will win. if we play the way we did vs bobcats we are dead.

    First, thanks for the explanation. Sorry for making fun of you.

    Second, no shit sherlock. I don't see how it is helpful to mention that we are done if we don't win games. That's kind of how the fucking sport works.

    My prediction: 3-1. We beat Orlando, Charlotte and steal one at either MIA or ATL.

    Go Blazers!
