    listening to Courtside and Stotts says they take the season 5 games at a time and try to win as many of those "mini-seasons" as possible. Thought people here might want to know that aspect of the team's mindset.

    Wow. Genius.

    Even better would be 82 super mini seasons followed by 16 mini post seasons.

    Certainly not original. The Riley Lakers of the 80's were known to do that. I am guessing they were not original with it either. But it makes sense to do it.

    Compartmentalization can be quite valuable. Breaking things into digestible fragments can make this easier to tackle.

    I only posted this to send @HCP on an ouroboros-esque Google search.

    Love it.

    Now we can say "season over" multiple times.

    Indubitably. The etymology behind "mileau" is fascinating, by the way. I hope the long season doesn't cause any ennui amongst the players.

    You all people are not looking at it the right way. If we make it to game 6 - we made it to the playoffs of mini-season 1. If we make it to game 11 - we made it to the playoffs of mini-season 2.

    Exercise at home (for the @HCP) - How many playoffs can the Blazers make it to this season?
