    will be a pretty good indicator of where this team is going. All the games are going to be tuff. The only team that might be in disarray is Houston and at the beginning of he season was said to be one of the better teams in the western conference. Personally I think we will be lucky to go 4-8 and realistically I think it will be worse. Yet to see a backbone for this team and still same problems as last year.

    this team should avoid playing teams that are slumping. #SlumpBusters

    But imagine if we were playing teams who were in full stride!

    Phoenix was our last chance for a while to have a slumpbuster game. It was an early Christmas gift. Phoenix at the moment is a train wreck

    Last year at this time we were in a 5 game losing then we went on a nice run in Feb and finished with 49 wins in a really tough conference. Yeah got swept in the offs but I don't see that happening again.
    Thats why I like sports you can always expect the unexpected.

    I am usually a guy who is a glass half full but this team just seems to be a glass half empty. Anything can happen, I might even have the winning lottery ticket but odds are that is not going to happen. With Allen's untimely death I think the players realize that major changes are going to happen to the organization. This may be the cause of their malaise.

    A coach can only talk and suggest the rest is talent and desire by the players to function as a team.

    I don't think we necessarily know that for sure. I'm not familiar with the coaching abilities, strategies, or styles of anyone in this forum. Very possible that someone in here--while not as credentialed--would actually be able to do the job more effectively.

    We'll never know.

    Back on topic: no NBA team should go on a 12 game losing streak. For the current Blazers it is within the realm of possibility.

    Hell yea this is the stretch that will finally do away with this post LMA era blazers.

    This is the stretch that hopefully buries them so we can move on and appropriately plan for the future
