    I also expect 3-3. They did lose a game they should not have in LA. I think Bucks and Warriors are the games that are in the losing side of 3-3.

    If they play like they have for the last 6 and a half quarters, they could lose to anyone... Now I assume someone or something will light a fire under them. They went from looking like an elite team to looking like a lottery team. Its a long season though.

    Very true but if for some reason that were the only team on this trip to prevent the Blazers from going 0-6, there are some larger issues.

    Of course....but a small stretch last season (losing 6 in a row at home) told me that Portland wasn't a serious contender no matter how how high of a seed they achieved unless something dramatically changed. They did play better but nothing had really changed other then they got in a rhythm and went on their annual hot streak. Come Playoff time, the fundamental issues reared their ugly heads.

    If they were to lose 6 in a row on this road trip (admittedly easier to do than 6 games at home) I believe that speaks to some serious flaws this team has. Unless there is a major injury to a star, really good teams just don't go on such streaks historically.

    I predicted 4-2 worst case on this trip....problem is I thought those 2 losses would be to the Bucks and Warriors...if we beat them I'll be thrilled!
