    The Blazers have won 4 straight against Eastern Conference foes, and now they will have 5 more games in a row against the East. Let's see how many more wins they can rack up and maybe make one last push towards the 8th seed.


    Race for the 8th

    I don’t miss Barrett but I do miss mike rice. I miss having a color guy that isn’t completely sober.

    Rice probably cost MB his job. They knew they had to move on from Rice who was getting old but didn't feel comfortable splitting up a team so they made a clean break. Just speculation of course. I love Hurd the most out of the 4 though. Hurd is great.

    Literally every game is a tough one for them right now. Just the name of the game when you have 1 starter left.

    I need a drink just thinking about the bench we are forced to play right now. It's almost impossible to see a win tomorrow, but we've blown games like this against garbage rosters over the years, so Boston could too.

    Following your logic we have 0 starters since Drexler went to Houston.

    No my logic is, if the roster was healthy our starters would be Dame, CJ, Hood, Zach and Nurk. It's not so we have CJ, Trent, Ariza, Melo and Whiteside. It's not that hard to figure out. Only one of those is the same, and four our different.

    CJ and WS is really it. Not many teams would start Gary Trent. No body wanted Melo (and statiscally he’s proven why), and Ariza couldn't get off the bench in Sacramento.

    Ariza is playing like a starter in Portland. Look at his numbers. Sacramento is a mess.

    CJ and Melo both needs to come strong. Everybody needs to step up, CJ is getting his rythim and he’s capable of lead us. Whiteside, Simons and Ariza all need to step up big on this. Let’s go Blazers
