40 Wins Before 20 Losses

10-14 makes it a 50-win season.

15-9 is 55 wins.

 

60 wins or bust!

 

To win 4 of 5 games without LA is pretty dammed impressive.

 

I'm completely surprised about it. Let alone not having LMA, but also now Freeland/Robinson/Leonard. Did the Nets hang out in Vegas for their two off-days on the road?

 

Totally. I don't care who you play, that good work there.

 

They hung out on Burnside at Mary's probably.

 

How's this for a perceived take?

 

I also know that the goal is much higher, but anytime the Blazers get 41 wins, it's a milestone that I celebrate, considering the last 11 years. Hopefully that happens on Saturday!

 

Good take. We should party a bit when we hit 42.

 

Next three are Denver/LAL/Atlanta all at home. Is 43-18 the expectation?

 

haha. when was this?

 

Told you all they would get their act together after all star break. Lookie there. We have a bench after all. Way to go Blazers

 

They hung out under the Burnside Bridge and did smack, or so it appears.

 

And if I had to bet money, the groin injury was an excuse to rest LA and to build what we are seizing today on the court. Brilliance.

 

I just made it up. I tried to channel mixum after tonight's win and that's what I came up with.

 

Remaining schedule

Really not that bad of a schedule. 55 wins looks possible.

 

I may not go that far, but it certainly has allowed the team to gel outside of relying on LMA. Tonight's effort by the bench was simply once a season, though. The Nets aren't a good team, and didn't start their "run" until their schedule got heavy on teams from the Least.

 

This is going to be brutal. 2-3 on this trip is a win if the Blazers can win at least 2 out of the next 3 games at home.

 

I think if we were facing tougher opponents he'd have rested less or not at all. I'm glad we were a bit clever and got him legit rest during an easier stretch.

 

Look at the strength of schedule during the period they decide to sit him.
