    I might make it to the Clipper game... it's the night before the Rose Bowl :)

    I'm a big fan of this team's defensive ability. Crawford is the only lessor defender from their top 8 and I'll forgive him as he's their Go! guy at the end. As the old truism goes... defense is all about effort. Crunch time, when everyone is trying their hardest is when they've been pulling away.

    You guys make sure to get your Clippers calendar magnets at the game. They said last night during the Bulls game that they were giving them away at he door for the Blazers game

    I think Portland was just as solid as I thought.

    It would be really nice to be the last undefeated team in the league; but I doubt it will happen. I've been wrong before though, so don't go "all in" with my "gut feelings". But what I do know is we are playing some incredible basketball; especially on the defensive end. I suspect we will win more than many before the start of the season believes. I actually think this team has a very good chance to be one of the top 3 teams in the West.

    We will see what happens on the road. We've only watched home games and the only road game was a pre-season loss to the lowly Jazz. I think watching our 9 road games coming soon will be the true test. We could come out 3-6, 4-5, or 9-0. It just depends if we can bring the "defensive energy" like we have at home, on the road. I think this is what sets the great road warriors from the weak ones.

    You know, I'm not too worried about losing so long as the Blazers play with the intensity they have been.

    If this team, as according to LaMarcus, is like the team that won 13 straight then I think the Blazers have something special and they don't need to think as much about losing as about winning.

    But, it would be nice to be undefeated while teams like OKC and Miami lose.

    The amount of teeth grinding will depend on how we lose. There are honorable ways to lose and there are bridge-jumping ways to lose.
