    ......but if there were ever a game the Blazers needed more than any other this season, I would say this would be it.

    Go Blazers!

    If we lose this, wow...

    This is a must-win for sure. IF we do lose this, I think we are simply going to be hoping PHX collapses in order to make the playoffs.

    It's a MUST win at this point in the season.

    I hesitate saying "must wins" because it's such a long season. However, if there were a game they immensely need, this be it.

    tonight... it simple....

    either the COLLAPSE of 09 begins


    Or it DOESNT


    either way i expect us to either be 1-3 after sunday or 0-4


    Beating the twolves is huuuuge for us. And dont forget, we really struggled with them in november. If we cant beat them without Jefferson, maybe we dont deserve playoffs.

    This is a very important game. It may very well be the most important game of the season thus far.

    I hope they decide to show up in the first quarter.

    I hope Blake/Sergio don't make Sabastian look like an all star.

    I think this team understands what's at stake. Both HOU and SA are playing really well right now, so there's no shame in losing to either on their home court. However, Minny really doesn't have either the talent or the concept of team D. This should be a game where we step on their neck quickly and don't let up.

    I'm sure what you MEANT to say was 4-3 or 3-4 after Sunday, right? You wouldn't want to forget about our recent wins, would you? Oh wait -- of course you would.

    I hate calling games "Must wins" unless they are must wins. If we lose this game, we could still finish 2nd in the West, so it's difficult for me to buy it's a must win. However, I think these are the types of games you should win to make life easier come April.

    Agreed. From this point forward, you can label every game a must win, and you can make an argument that every ensuing game is a must win.

    We certainly must win because we would gain a game on Denver (loss hopefully) since its playing the Lakers at home.

    There is no such thing as a must win in February. We could lost 5 more straight games and then rip of 10 out of 12 wins - who knows?

    Or, we could win tonight and lose a bunch of games in the next 10 days (Spurs, Nugges, Lakers, Mavs)

    If we lose tonight and beat SA Sunday, it wouldn't really matter.
