Lopez went down with the hand injury on Dec. 15th against the Spurs. Not counting that win since he played a good chunk of the game, the Blazers are 5-5 against teams currently at or above .500. Wins over the Bucks, Spurs, Pelicans, Thunder, & Raptors. Losses to Rockets, Hawks, Clippers, Spurs & Grizzlies. Freeland was injured Jan. 3rd against the Hawks. Counting that loss since his absence contributed to the Hawks holding off a Blazers' comeback, the Blazers are 0-4 against teams with a .500 or better record. Losses to the Hawks, Clippers, Spurs and Grizzlies.
The difference is the Spurs had a lil in the tank at the end of the year. This team will be spent... Again.
