    After this trip, the Blazers will have 4 More home games than road games left this season. That's huge. Denver won as well, so the division is wide open for the top spot. I look for SA to fall without Kawhi. You can only win so much with magic tricks. The injury to Jimmy Butler is potentially catastrophic for the Wolves. It's all about health down the stretch. Attrition is always tough.

    We play Suns tomorrow, Spurs play Cavs on Sunday. By Sunday night, we could be a half game behind SA.

    This is why the "duplication" argument makes little sense to me. You can't rely on one player to be on every night. You need 2-3 options.

    This is what makes the run for the playoffs so special. Not just watching our boys, but looking at the competition as well.

    It is, just as much for those facing the Blazers. Blazers own their own destiny. They have the pieces, especially when Harkless plays like that, to beat ANYONE in the league.

    Wow.

    Only two games out of third place.

    Only one and a half from slipping to ninth.

    I would love the game against Denver here in Colorado, to be for the division title. But there's a lot of games to get to that point. But the Blazers can do it.

    It might be the high from winning tonight, but I feel a 3 seed is a possibility. So much can happen from 3rd to 10th place in the west. It is making the 2nd half of the season very exciting and entertaining.

    To be fair, we've been horrible at home this year. Here's to killing it down the stretch. :cheers:
