The Next 7: Getting a gauge after a very good start

Okay. But if we do well, are you going to show up and eat crow?

 

LMAO!

 

damn mags do ya thang homie.

CHICAGO - this could go either way, because chicago has the defensive capacity to shut down (and they wouldn't even have to completely shut down) portland's offensive game plan and win. and if derrick rose has a derrick rose game, which is possible but rather unlikely in a hostile environment like the Roda Garcenter, then consider this a probable loss. still, i have all the confidence IN the confidence this team has in its system. home cookin'
+ 8 game streak steeze: win.

@ Golden State - back-to-back, away game. oracle arena is about a legit a crowd and environment as you can get in the NBA. home cooking' for dame, and you know he's gonna bring it, but I think this is a loss with or without Steph. they have the horses to beat us in other ways, and this'll probably be one of those games where iggy turns into Reggie Miller and burns us from deep. we shall see, but I'm calling this a loss.

NEW YORK - the knickerbockers are not beating the 2013-14 portland trail blazers at home. this team knows how to take care of lower competition, and even if melo goes for 45 he'll do it so inefficiently it won't matter. WIN.

@ Phoenix - same idea as the knicks game, except it's not home. in the past we've had trouble in phx, and yes our last two games with them were tough, but portland really is much better than the suns. talent and execution will win out here. props to phx for being any more than a complete joke though. jeff horny seems legit (or at least his defensive cordinator does). winner winner chicken dinner.

@ Lakers - this game i'm a little shaky on. i feel less threatened by the lakeshow than i do by the suns, yet this might be one of those game where xavier henry decdes to do his best kobe impression. nevertheless, talent and execution win again. i say win, but shaky.

INDIANA - these next two games we're gonna split. i say we lose to indy simply because of their defense, depth, and paul george being a legitimately strong offensive weapon. indy is a damn good team and i hope we play competitively with them. Loss.

OKC - fuckin sooners. i irrationally hate everything about the thunder, so out of pure spite i say win. the thunder have a decent record, but a lot of their games have been closer than they probably would have liked and their defense doesn't look very strong. it's not hard to get westbrook and durant out of synch with each other, and ibaka is not beating us with his aldridge-impersonation.

i'm saying 5-2, worse 4-3 due to an unexpected loss to the lakers or suns. leggo p-town blazers.

 

He never gives up his shtick until the off season.

 

Just quote this because....uh.....

 

Age?

...

Name?

...

Location?

Honestly though, I hope you didn't find it disrespectful!

 

I know she's in High School.

 

In case I wasn't clear, it was a joke regarding that stuff.


...and I'm not Jerry Sandusky

 

Lmao! Full thread derail!

 

Could be a quite humbling experience.

And then maybe not...

 

Will be a interesting game rose has been very good in his past few games win or loss

 

I think this is what derailed the thread, I may be wrong though.

 

I don't know about it being 'THE TBpup' but yeah, we are all the same poster. Was hoping to have an extreme insider like back in the old days as one of my clients was up for a very 'insider' position but it didn't work out.

Looking forward to some good banter here as well.

 

Knowing how you hate Blazer wins, I just have to ask, are you melting down yet?

Go Blazers

 

Was this the win in your 2-6 prediction?

 

This was a game they HAD to have to start out this stretch. One amazing quarter covered a mediocre to poor other three quarters and they squeaked out a win. Going into Golden State off a loss for their 5th game in 7 days would have been asking a lot to not have a two game losing streak..

I think they stumble tonight but this is a game most fans had down as a loss from the beginning. Oakland has notoriously been a tough place to play although not sure of the status of Curry which could be in the Blazers favor.

Good start....6 games to go.

 

Agreed

Scott foster IS a laker fan

 

Re: The Next 7: Getting a gauge after a very good start (1-0)

I wonder if these last two games were the games carlito thought we'd win on his 2-6 prediction?!?!

 

After fighting through 2/3s of the game but looking for all the world that their legs just weren't going to be able to carry them home, Bogut decides to give a pork chop to Freebird's throat. LA goes 'Joel Przybilla' on him and turns into a man posessed! This was the game I thought for sure would be a loss and whatever that scuffle started, they completely finished. I love the attitude.

 

10 in a row and 8 for 8 back to back games. What more do we need? 30 game win streak to gauge?
