Portland 105 Dallas 100 Someone else in another thread said this, but it bears repeating: Tonight's game MAY be one of the most important games of the season. If the Blazers can find a way to beat a hot Dallas team, the schedule sets itself up nicely for the Blazers to have a 10 game winning streak going into the All-Star Game, and that's when all of the playoff talk from the national media starts. The Blazers, with a 10 game win streak, should be one of the first topics on everyone's list, and create some buzz for the team going into the home stretch. I think tonight's game will go a long way in showing, not *IF* the Blazers will make the playoffs or not, but how high will their seeding be?
