No. We went 3-1 on a road trip this season. We won in Memphis, NY, and Minnesota and lost in Toronto.
That would be amazing. At this point I would rather make the playoffs then to get a lousy draft pick.
If we go on a 10 game win streak; I see teams faltering. They will choke knowing we are coming in strong. Also; look out #1; cause Portland is the one team you don't want to face in the first round. We have a tight rotation; which works better for the playoffs. Also; watching our mid game adjustments; I could only imagine how well stotts will prepare his team for the opponent. Then we have Lillard. Anything is possible
I think what is making them still believe is that Utah, Houston, Dallas, LA, and GS still all have to come play at the RG. So they can make up the games back.
Any one notice how happy our coach looked the last couple mins of the game? He had a big smile on his face. Lillard is killer in the second half. Love it! We might make the playoffs and we might not, but man we will be next year for sure and many after and going deep in the playoffs!!
Trail Blazers PR @TrailBlazersPR Portland has now made at least as many 3-pointers as its opponents in 16 straight games, the longest streak by any NBA team this year.
Strangely reminded me of this....the rain, boss, the rain... [video=youtube;Cz98yHdLMb4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cz98yHdLMb4[/video]

Watching the Hawks a couple of things came to mind since there has been discussion about trading for Horford and Smith over the last 2 years. I absolutely love Horford's game, but he is NO go-to guy. I would still love to have him on the team, but he would not make us better if it took trading LMA to get him. As for Smith....same thing. He would add toughness to the Blazers, but his outside shot is still horrendous. IMO he is an excellent role player with the mindset that he is a super star. Kind of reminds me of Gerald Wallace. Very good player, but his lack of an outside shot hurts his team if he is forced to shoot when the game is on the line. And like Gerald Wallace I would like him on my team, but at some point he has to accept his deficiencies.
Did you not see our broadcast King? We talked about it a few times and even showed a picture of Jay Jenson movie traffic out of the way so the bus could get thru.
