    When SI gives us love I feel like shouting that as loud as Homer Simpson.

    That's nice but if we go by streaks, Utah is even hotter. They are 21-2 in their last 23 games.

    Man I get sick of the question of whether to keep Dame and CJ together. We need stars. They are stars.

    Does HOU still only have 1 loss all season when Harden, Paul and Capella all start?

    If I was a Houston fan, I'd be worried about which one of those guys is going to get injured in practice today. We all know that the Blazers never play a team that isn't missing one of it's top players.

    I think the loss in Toronto was loss #2.

    True. Portland isn't far behind though. 22-5 in the last 27 games (1/3 of the season). 0.815 winning percentage.

    OKC I get. Westbrook could only truly form a duo with his own ego. The fact that the writer has to go with Adams as Westbrook's "duo" partner shows just how poorly George and Melo blend with Russell.

    NBA.com's ranking seems more reasonable

    Looking at those next 3, they're smart to hedge. Blazers are underdogs in 2 of 3 games this week.

    However, if they run the win streak to 16, I'm planning a parade.

    Only when they say something good about the Blazers.

    (Did I do that right?)
