    I know this is a week early, but......................


    Blazers @ Nuggets -- 7:30 PM PST -- Nationally Broadcast On TNT


    I'm hopeful that, by then, Ernie, Kenny, Charles(?), and the rest of the TNT gang will be talking about Portland potentially overtaking Denver in the NW Division (that is, in the final outcome.)

    Now, invariably, these are the types of games that, traditionally, the Blazers kind of knuckle-under on. Know-what-I'm-talkin'-about? I'm talking about games that have something riding on the line, coupled with a national audience. You know, those "let's show it to the world" types of games.

    We shall see, though, just how far our boys have come. I think this will be a true test (for now, at least) to see just that.

    Go Blazers!

    After out last two amazing showcases on TNT (Roy's buzzer beater at Houston, Roy's 52 at PHX) I hope we can keep it up to make us become a better known household name. Unfortunately, this time we won't have home court.

    If the Nuggets lose @ Detroit on Tuesday, and the Blazers beat the Pacers at the RG on Wednesday, then Thursday's game in Denver will be for sole possession of 1st in the NW.

    How do you like DEM apples?!!

    2nd game of a back to back playing at mile high altitude will be tough.

    The good news is, we have young guys, coupled with the fact that Nate could go 10 deep if he had to.


    Joel, Frye, LMA, Batum, Travis, Roy, Rudy, Blake, Sergio, and Bayless


    As well, I'm hopeful for a put-down on the Pacers Wednesday night so that Nate can rest some of the guys.

    Win tomorrow and Thursday and we lead the division.

    Nuggets are going to lose to the Pistons so that means if the Nuggets lose to us, they go to 39-23 and if we win our next two, we go to 39-22.

    Go Blazers.

    It's in your hands.

    Would be quite a change from all the "OMG THE SKY IS FALLINGGGGGG" posts after our 2 game losing streak..

    We still gotta beat Indi tonight.

    The game at Denver is going to be tough. The Trail Blazers wont arrive in Denver until late Wed. night / early Thursday morning, they lose an hour, and have to deal with the altitude.
