    There is NO way we lose this game if Kuzma is hitting that mid range J and Randall attacks the glass.

    The way they are playing now, they shouldn't let down.....they are playing very well. But this current streak is not representative of the way they have played for the majority of the season. At some point, it doesn't seem unreasonable that they return to something closer to their norm.....unless suddenly they have just become this juggernaut that doesn't lose to anyone.

    I'd love to think that but history tells me other wise.

    I'd rather prefer to believe that this is our true form and the way we played earlier in the season is an aberration. Yeah I know it's' delusional but sue me....

    Regardless of the injuries, MIA is still a dangerous team. They just destroyed WAS without Whiteside.

    In general, they play a lot of close games. They started the year 22-11 in close games, but are only 2-8 in their last 10 close games (what the NBA officially calls clutch games, games withing 5 points with less than 5 minutes left).

    So we're only good if we never lose again? But lose to Miami and we're just a mediocre team?

    Clearly, teams are starting to realize that they're better off just letting guys rest against us since they know they're going to lose anyway. Makes sense--save your stars for games in which you have a chance.

    It's going to be about 70 today. I think the heat is real.

    Surprisingly, we only have 10 streaks in our franchise history of at last 10 games.

    Including this one, we have 7 streaks of 9 in a row.

    Minnesota, OKC, and Denver all won yesterday so Portland needs to keep up the pace.
