Oh great, we'll see how bad the Blazers get screwed this year on road trips and consecutive playoff-team opponents.

I don't think there's anyway the team is perceived as good enough to display on X-mas day. One of my favorite Blazers games was the 2000 X-mas day game against the Lakers where Kobe got called for the charge against Sheed on the last play of the game.
No--even better, we'll probably be on a 7-game roadie from 12/22-1/2. You'll be traveling for Christmas and New Years. But don't worry--I'm sure the Mrs will be well taken care of for the holidays.
