    You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Boob-No-More again.

    We'll have a tough time with Chicago since it's our first game back from a road trip. Those are always danger spots.

    Milwaukee is 2-7 and has lost 5 games in a row. How is that a "brutal" game for the Blazers??

    I think we should win 5 lose 1 with 4 toss ups so that’s 7-3. Could easily be 5-5 or if we get real hot 9-1. If we go 4-6 that will be disappointing, teams are tired from the long flights and late start times out here so we have a big home court advantage. The tough teams are at home and lesser opponents on the road.

    This is not one of our most difficult stretches, yes there are some solid teams but we need to at least break even on these stretches if we are to be a solid playoff team.

    We will have some brutal stretches later in the year; four games in 5 nights on the road Jan17th @SAS, @DAL(b2b), @HOU, @OKC(b2b). On March 7th we play a 5 game trip @DAL, @HOU, @MEM, @SAS(b2b), @NOH. Those trips will be brutal and we could easily go 1-8 with no reason to be alarmed. Stretches like we have over the next 10 games are important to pad a few wins.

    It's about how they are doing now. 5 straight is all of a sudden horrible? Man, 2 games ago when we won our 5th in a row we were TERRIBLE. Blow it up!

    Did you skim the title? I said the "next 10 games" meaning the next 10 games SOS.

    Shameful that I don't think Chicago, OKC, Indiana or GS "SHOULD" beat us?

    Shameful that I don't think Milwaukee, NY, Phoenix, LAL, Dallas, Utah are lesser competition than what we have seen from our team so far?

    As much as I love Lillard, Rose is going to completely torch him this game. Dame has a tough time against physical players that use the pick and roll.

    The Bucks always give us fits. Seems like we rarely beat them.

    I think Chicago will be on a back to back with us after an ESPN game.....the Bulls won't get to their hotel in Portland tip 2:30AM, gotta' love that. And you guys just know that Kobe will make his return against us, right?
