    Yeah it's crazy! I'm glad Houston, Dallas and OKC will have such a tough last half of the season! GS and Us are about the same. I think we will battle for the top in the west

    NEVER look at 10 games. Look at each game one by one.

    That's the team. The fans can do whatever the fuck they want! We don't have any influence on their focus or preparation

    The problem i have with the whole strength of schedule thing is is does not account for travel and B2B's.
    Portland is coming up on some lower teams in the next 10 but they also have 3 B2B's in that 10 game stretch. There is a 10 day stretch where they have 7 games.
    6-4 on this 10 game stretch would be very good indeed!

    Bullshit. The fans are an extension of the team.

    it's unrealistic to ask the blazers to take care of business vs teams they're favored against...
    And then ask them to go 2-2 against Thunder/Rockets/Spurs/Bulls?
    Logical.
    Every team has 4 games in 5 nights, as well as back to backs.
    No excuses.

    Btw I don't whine so bringing that up is illogical.

    Tough stretch! Fortunately, the travel on back-to-backs isn't too far (flight mileage)...

    DET to MIN: +/- 550 miles
    CHI to IND: +/- 175 miles

    SAS to NOP: +/- 500 miles
    HOU to OKC: +/- 400 miles

    Coulda been worse, I guess?

    That's a brutal stretch, in those 11 games I'd take 6-5. That Texas trip will be crucial.

    Bring em on! We can beat anybody. I say we go 9-1 and match last season's 29-5 record at the beginning of the season.
