    One good thing about having such a tight race in the west is we can root for the Blazers to finish as high as the 3 seed....but not be too bummed with a 3 game losing streak as we could move up 10 spots in the draft. (Counting the Eastern conference as well) Lot of teams in the 26-29 loss range.

    Interestingly enough, the L*kers are closer to the 3 seed than the 3 seed is to the 2 seed. :wow:

    Knew a guy who raced Go-Karts and other crazy shit. And then I had the stupidity to get inside a vehicle with him. Those guys drive 100 like you and I drive 25 mph. To not call them athletes is a fucking insult. And the Formula 1 guys are the craziest of the bunch!

    Didn't realize, the Wolves have a BRUTAL stretch of games coming up. If the Blazers can dispatch them tonight, there's a chance they lose several more in the next few weeks.

    On a related note--what the hell is up with them playing 3 games total over a 2-week span?

    Just the schedule evening out. They have already played 64 games while most teams are at 61 or 62.

    I get that--I'm just saying it's crazy that the schedule-makers had to put a stretch like that into their schedule in order for the evening out to occur.

    Don't get the @HCP all excited. Mrs. HCP has enough on her plate without having to deal with that.

    True. It’s their only saving grace over this period while they’re waiting for Butler to return. At least they’re going to be well rested.

    You mean the scheduled that shows us playing 9 of our next 11 games at home, where we have won 11 of our last 12? You mean that schedule? Yes, I've seen it.

    Outside of dame this team is trash we don’t have a competent player in the front court hca is out of the question. Playoffs are a maybe at best. We can get beat by anyone on a given night.
