    The bad news: Blazers have lost 5 road games in a row.

    The good news: Blazers will have 7 straight games against teams under .500

    Portland must win this game if they're serious about making the Playoffs. There should be no excuses this time.

    They are just as bad as the Knicks. At this point, if we lose, it's gonna sting. thV61CQJY5.jpg .

    Interesting that Skal is still out. That knee injury seems to be worse than most thought?

    The good news: the Hawks played tonight so they might show fatigue tomorrow.

    The bad news: they destroyed the Nets. This will not be a gimme on their court.

    Yeah, Hawks have won 7-9 at home. Still a game the Blazers have to win if they want that 8th seed.

    Vince Carter looking at this game and thinking "Hmmm I got one more highlight dunk in me pretty sure".

    Do people even look at the actual standings? We are as close to 13 as we are to 8th.

    By Monday, there is a good chance we will be in 11th. (we lose a road game to the Hawks while Sac-Town wins a home game against the Pistons.)

    Yes but we have 7 straight games against sub .500 teams coming up and Grizzlies keep getting beat by better teams.
