    It seems we will lose games before the end of the season. If we lose to a crappy team, people will say it's the end of the world. But if we lose to a good, people will say we don't have what it takes to beat the good teams. So how many will we lose and who do you want to lose to?

    Nice. Make up generalizations of what everyone else will say... and act like you're the only one who has his head screwed on straight... lmao.

    You do realize how that comes across?

    I'm OK with losing *Friday*, as I don't expect us to beat the Warriors. No problem with losing either Houston game. OK with losing the Clippers game 3/18 on the second half of a home-road back-to-back. I expect we'll lose in NO on 3/27 (although that will suck, because I think they're our top competition for the 3 seed). Losing in Denver on 4/9 wouldn't bother me much, unless it significantly impacts our seeding.

    So, that's 6 losses the rest of the way that I'd be OK with. Depending on the circumstances, dropping home games against CLE and/or BOS wouldn't phase me all that much either.

    You dont pick your losses dude. That's a losers mentality. You go into a game confident you can win every single game, or else you'll lose more due to a lack of confidence/competitive edge. You go into games wanting to win, as a player or fan. This whole "who do you want to lose to?" Is silly. I wanna win every goddamn game. Will it happen? No. But individually, every game you want to win.

    Sorry--I'm so geeked up for Friday's game, I've convinced myself that the next 48 hours don't exist.

    King knows this. HE was just blasting some people a week or two ago about rooting for losses to make the prediction accurate or something like that. and he said anyone who actively looks fr a loss is not a fan... hence my disappointed post.

    With that said, I think this is an imposter. King does not think we will lose anymore games. He is steadfast.

    None. The Blazers will lose no games. Anyone who thinks the Blazers will lose games is not a good fan.

    After hearing so many people mention how tough of an upcoming schedule we had, I finally took the time to look today. It really isn't that daunting, opponent-wise. When you factor in the away games it becomes a little tougher but I really think we can beat alot of the shittier teams, even at home.

    Optimistically we go 13/17. That's besting all our lesser opponents and stealing a couple from the Rocket/Warrior/Celtic matchups.

    Realistically we go 9/17, losing to superior opponents and having a couple stolen by lesser teams.

    My guess is somewhere in between, I'll say 11/17.

    Why think of losses? Think of securing that playoff berth. One game at a time.
