    Portland's next 3 are @HOU, @MEM, HOU. If we can win all 3 and HOU loses to the Warriors on Tuesday, we'll be 27-27 and the Rockets will be 27-28. If Utah keeps playing well, that means Houston will be out of the top 8. Meanwhile, Dallas's next 2 games are against SA and Utah. If Dallas loses both, they're 28-26, only 1 game ahead of us.

    But to do all of this, we have to win 3 games.

    Go Blazers!!!!!

    Well, Houston IS in freefall. That's what happens when you acquire Josh Smith, don't you know?

    Because people are still more interested in draft picks than victories.

    I don't think going 0-for-restofseason gets us the kind of pick they seem to want.

    At this point, may as well go for it (win).

    Hey, not every joke is a winner. But, if it will make you feel better...

    As Neil Olshey recently said, it's like poker - 'chip and a chair'. You can't win if you're not in the game. I'm just excited that we even get to say "IF" at this point of the season. That just means that 'we're still in the game'. Go Blazers!
