    Blazers on a 4-game skid.

    Need a win here to wash out the mark.

    Believe in the Blazers. For one game, at least.

    This will be a welcome home stretch. that 3-1-3 with seven games in seven cities had a brutal ending. Wish they could have gone 5-2 but we ended up with 3-4.
    Not gonna get any easier after the All Star break. They need to win a game or two here and stay afloat.

    I don't believe in mid season must win games but it would be very disheartening to see a loss here. This team should be driven to end this skid. Even with our injuries, ours is the better team. We're going to kick their asses. You heard it here first.

    These next three games are crucial. I wouldn’t say must win, but winning two or three of them will be big for momentum heading into the break. Then hopefully Nurk and CJ return sometime shortly after and we get rolling and force Olshey to get em some help.

    This will tough game if we continue how we playing now. We basically getting nothing from our bench right now. We playing terrible defense and our offense has basically disappeared. But the good thing the hornets play last night.

    Kind of think the way the next 3 are set up they will win a couple at least.
    Then they will get another week to get healthier. Then they will get a couple starters back.
    Portland is probably not going to fall back to .500 ball.

    I have a better feeling about this one than I do about GSW.... but I still think there's a chance we don't get a win until Sac.

    If Hayward is out tonight and Green out Wednesday, this should absolutely be a 3-0 week.
