Dang @Chris Craig you sure know how to start jinx Game thread with a question like that. NEVER Question a streak in any capacity.

TBpup · Dec 19, 2021

Cut down on the turnovers and they can build on the streak.

blazerkor · Dec 19, 2021

I think this game should be a win. So that will be three in a row before we have a hard stretch of home games.

wizenheimer · Dec 19, 2021

why is there no option for 2 games in the poll?

Was about to type the same thing.

LayneStaley · Dec 20, 2021

I think Jonas will have his way with Nurk and most likely Nurk gets 3 fouls by the early second quarter and is nonexistent the rest of the game.

Strenuus · Dec 20, 2021

Why you gotta get a picture of Willie Green during an obvious existential crisis moment?

Zach Collins Enthusiast · Dec 20, 2021

As I said before the Grizzlies game, right now with this current team we are at least competitive. Keep going, Blazers!

Seemed fitting

Minimum 22 game win streak. Why?

covid help.

Cue

Why do we always play teams with players in Covid protocols

James lamphear · Dec 20, 2021

Yes we are competitive right now because we not so small out there majority of the time and Dame is on roll and there been another player scoring big with him. But Dame might not play tomorrow because of hamstring tightness.

DUB · Dec 21, 2021

Happy Gravy Day!

Cugel · Dec 21, 2021

So many injuries, may get ugly.

Fairly-Hard · Dec 21, 2021

Can Lillard put together three good games in a row?

So we have a chance then.

Wizard Mentor · Dec 21, 2021

If you can't beat the current Pels, who can you count on for a W?

You have a point there.

riverman · Dec 21, 2021

I just think this is the road trip where the new players and coaches and staff get to bond ..feel like a team with their backs against the wall fighting for relevance again

Tince · Dec 21, 2021

I think this can be used for every loss moving forward...

The current Pels are 5-5 in their last 10.

Fuck

riverman · Dec 21, 2021

I read Nurk, Dame and Nas are out but does that mean Zeller is back? Looks like Watford and Brown are going to get some burn as well as Snell.
