    We have a nice homestand in the month of March but I wanted to point out that the blazers go on the road for a week.

    March 15 vs Atlanta result Win
    March 16 vs Memphis result Win (it will be close like it was at home)
    March 18 vs Indiana result Loss (0-8 against them since 2004-05 season)
    March 19 vs Cleveland result Loss
    March 21 vs Milwaukee result Win

    3-2 if we are lucky

    atl, indi, mil, wins

    cle, memphis, losses

    this trip might decide wether we make playoffs.

    a 4-1 trip gets us in imo

    i'll go with 4-1 with the only loss being at cleveland. anything worse than 3-2 would be a big disappointment.

    the blazers have actually been a pretty good road team against bad teams. they are 10-5 on the road against teams not in the top 9 in the west or top 3 in the east(while being 2-12 against good teams on the road) and two of those losses game against golden state which is generally considered to be a much better team at home.

    Wait a minute. Is there a hint of optimism here Mixum? I don't know what to believe in anymore. Did the doc switch your meds up or something? J/K man, I think there are others on this board that have a little mixum in us as well - they just have a bigger filter than you do.

    Like when you said no trade = no playoffs. I thought that as well. Although Amare and McGrady going down may allow us to "back in".

    Maybe you're a "tad" hard on Batum though.

    2 and 3, though I think Portland will win a game they should lose and lose a game they should win.

    0-5 ... no wait 5-0 ... shit!? Fuck it, I can't make up my mind. Can they just skip these games altogether and make them up next year when they're a little wiser and more experienced?

    3-2.

    We always play well in Atlanta and Milwaukee, and we should win in Memphis.
    We've never played well in Indiana or Cleveland, so those are losses.
