    There goes the Blazers' perfect Thursday record. They are now 9-1 on Thursdays this season.

    Portland will remain in 5th place in the West, with Utah starting to close the distance (just 1.5 games behind).

    The Suns are the worst team in the West, so this is a have-to-win game if the Blazers want a realistic chance of ascending to the 3rd seed, if not the 2nd. They cannot afford to give any more games away from this point on if they want home court in the Playoffs.

    Rip City!

    The Suns are gonna rack up another good pick. In the next 2-3 years they are going to be pretty good is what i'm thinking.

    For everyone claiming that Chuck and Kenny jinxed or cursed us:

    How in the fuck do you jinx/curse a team that has lost 10 straight playoff games?

    Wouldn't being jinxed when you can't win a playoff game be a good thing?

    Some of you people are acting like Portland was on some miracle no hitter and Kenny and Chuck are the idiots who go up to someone and mention it. The Blazers have now lost 3 of the last 4 games. Please stop acting like there was some magical destiny we won't achieve now that someone made a bold prediction.

    I don't really think that. Just letting off steam. Though, I don't appreciate the Blazers being disrespected and heckled/laughed at by the TNT commentators (Miller and Harlan)

    The 57 or so comments about it in the Thunder game thread weren't just blowing off steam.

    I said they jinxed us once and I was being sarcastic. I was yelling at the TNT crew all night, not because I feel they made us lose the game, but because they were disrespecting the Blazers.

    So with my proclamation that they will not only get to the finals but win i have changed all the dynamics and sent them to another dimension.

    For future reference, any positivity about the team will not be allowed and ultimately discouraged by members of this forum

    You have been warned. :devilwink:

    Does that mean only post proclaiming doom and gloom with certain coaching/player changes or can we still be middle of the road good and bad type stuff?

    Apparently how the Blazers play doesn't matter at all as long as other teams are playing equally as bad.
