If the Blazers can push their streak to a dozen, they will have the whole league a-buzzin'!

H.C. · Mar 15, 2018

Portland owes this team one.

Eastoff · Mar 15, 2018

Let's get twelve and make room on the trophy shelve.

So nice to see us and especially Dame get some well deserved national attention.

Way overdue and hard to overlook a team that's doing what their doing.

REVENGE!!!

Van Gundy looks like he could eat Stotts.

TBpup · Mar 15, 2018

Blake will get his but Portland should win the game. Hopefully Nurk shows up against Drummond.

KingSpeed · Mar 15, 2018

Looking at the schedule, this streak could extend to 21.

I'm not sure Blake will get his. He's been pretty awful lately. I think Aminu can shut him down. Nurk will definitely show up against Drummond. He prefers to play real centers.

Nurk just needs to keep Drummond from owning the offensive glass. Just keep a body on him, don't get in foul trouble and limit the second point chances. Nurk doesn't even need to score to help in this game.

noknobs · Mar 15, 2018

During the 11 game winning streak:
Opponents current winning %: .523
7 teams over .500 / 4 teams below .500
8 home, 3 away

Remaining 14 games of the season:
Opponents current winning %: .536
10 teams over .500 / 4 teams below .500
6 home, 8 away

They've beat several good teams during this streak but it's definitely not getting any easier.

DDolla · Mar 15, 2018

Just Win Blazers!

Scalma · Mar 15, 2018

I think guys have accepted, and settled into their roles. Everyone is playing within themselves. If they continue to do that, Portland could make some serious noise. I’d like their chances against anyone except Golden State.

That would put me within three of my preseason prediction.

A holiday in which Americans wear green, dress like leperchauns, and get drunk. Some people are not happy about it as it is seen as a misappropriation of the Irish.

You're losing respect with your irrational Nurk hatred. Just FYI

You repeat your opinion 5 times a minute. We get it. Your not a Nurk fan. It's annoying when you're doing stuff like "I'm with a 6ers fan right now even he thinks Nurks trash" and other crap like that, constantly.

Ok i apologize for that, but it's way more annoying how do you defend him when he play 1 good Game out of 5 ussualy when his opponent is a Rookie or a really Bad center and use stats from 1 fucking year ago, that's so stupid bro. There are a Lot of Blazers fans who are tired from him . I also tought Maybe Nurk fever comes back the last Couple of Games and now he plays this shit again. Awkward flip shots out of control. Enough is enough he just sucks
