Still amazed that there are currently 9 teams in the NBA who have either won as many games (or more) on their home court (14+), as Portland has *played* on their home court (14). Including 6 who have won 15 or more games at home.

And there is only 1 team with as many games played on the road (21) as the Blazers, and they've played 4 more games in total than the Blazers have (all at home).

by Jan 8, Blazers will have played 24 on the road and 15 at home. Meaning they will have a 26-17 home/road advantage over the last 43 games, Starting Jan 10, the Blazers will play 15 of their next 19 games at home. If they want to make any noise this season, they just about have to win a high number of those 19 games

They HAVE to improve on their home record.

if they go any worse than 10-5 at home in that stretch, it'll be that much harder for them to make the play-in.

Ideally, they go 12-3 at home, and 2-2 on the road.

They are currently 18-17
If they happen to go 12-3 and 2-2 on the road that puts them at 32-22. 10 games over .500 at 54 games. If they simply go 14-14 the rest of the way they end up 46-36.(Very unlikely)
That is not a playin team? Not sure that is a play-in team? That seems like a 5th or 6th seed? Not sure 2 more losses changes that very much and i would doubt they would cruise out the last part of the season playing .500 ball.

Because it's an easy schedule (home vs away), and momentum would be against them (losing creating bad habits, etc). It would also mean that they aren't as good as we hoped and will start losing games they had no business losing (already are doing that).
 
25 + minutes delay trying to level the basketball rim in Denver. 6:43 left in the 4th quarter with the Nuggets ahead of the Celtics 110-97.

Edit: after spending all this time trying to level the thing, now they have pulled the hoop off completely, and replacing it.

delay is about 30 minutes now.

IDK? Home schedule means more practice time and wins that create confidence. Intangibles. One thing that always evens out is that SOS. In the end everyone had the same SOS. They have pretty much weathered the storm from the first half of the season.
One thing i have maintained all season thus far. If they are .500 at 40 games they will be in really good shape.
 
I think we all know what HCP’s vote for the poll question is.

Well…Ribbit
 
By the way. I was at the casino New Years Eve. The sports book had the Blazers a 40-1 to win the championship. I kinda thought that was better than they would’ve been?

Really good shape for what? Losing in the play-in?

When I bet on them in August, it was 100-1 so yes.
 
Mitchell with 69 points and counting

Finished with 71 points, 20-25 from the FT line.

22-34, and 7-15 from 3.

Glad there was at least something uplifting involving sports tonight.

Damar Hamlin collapsed on the field during MNF, and had CPR performed on him for about 10 minutes, is in critical condition at the hospital and the game was postponed.
 
Holy shit!!!!! Hope he makes it. 10 minutes!!??
 
Since when the Mothership stop listing PER on player and team pages? I just wanted to be able to sort the Cavs depth chart by PER and the only thing I can find is Hollinger's page which is sort of useful. Even Basketball Reference won't let me sort it, yikes!

Read it again. With the rest of the conversation.

I read the whole conversation and every time you’ve said it. Why are we in good shape if we play .500 ball through half the season? Sure, good shape to make the play-in but I want a top 3 seed. I won’t be happy if we’re 20-20. Why will you be?
 
Damn the Warriors home fans are having a blast. They can’t be beat. Won in 2OT tonight.
 
Who was talking about Klay declining? He had 54 tonight.
