    The point is to win a Championship. But being a Blazer fan is not going to bring lots of them. I have lived through one. I am happy for that. Would like another. Keep trying Jennifer.

    After losing consecutive games for the first time this season, the Blazers look to bounce back by enacting some revenge against these Wizards, who handed them their first loss of the season, and in Portland, no less.

    PLEASE WIN ONE GAME ON THIS ROAD TRIP AT LEAST!

    This is a game they can win. But it is a road game. For the most part you try and get half your road games in a season. Like i said. this is a game they should be able to get.

    We really need this win. No regular season game is a must win but this one feels important. It won't be easy, they beat us last time, but I see us winning this one.

    Playing with defensive intensity, and making substitutions to keep energy up and scoring by the high percentage shooters, the Blazers will win this game.

    So... yeah, we don't need every game we just need a large majority but this one feels more important because we don't want our only losing streak of the season to balloon to three games. I get that it's important for the players to play every game with maximum effort but like I said before their really aren't must win regular season games unless a team backs themselves into a corner late in the season.

    The internet can be a hard place to express ones self. Is this sarcasm? Im a little confused by it? You obviously dont expect them to win every night, since further up the thread you implied 3-3 is still possible on this trip and that’d be good.

    Are you simply saying that all wins are worth the same?

    Im kind of confused...
