    We've seen this team fall flat on it's face many times with Aldridge in the game, and there's only a couple of gimmies on the remaining schedule. Phoenix, Golden State, the Clips will all be hard games that the Blazers could lose.

    I think hanging onto the #5 seed is just right for the team, given everything that's gone on, and facing a wounded Rockets team in the first round. HCA or no, they can take that series.

    I don't think that too many are thinking that the Blazers will win out or that there aren't dangerous teams left on the schedule. I do think that, given the state of Houston's roster, there's a pretty good chance that the Blazers will pass them in the standings, but it's clearly Houston's to lose.

    I'm not assuming anything. It's possible, but unlikely.

    Yeah, I don't expect us to win out. But I think we have a good chance of getting 3 less losses than Houston will.

    There are some people who don't think the Blazers will win another game and won't even make the playoffs.

    I think we lose a couple more games. It's not a huge deal. But people gotta be realistic... PHX has beat us twice, GS has beat us... if we had been undefeated to all these teams, then okay... but we aren't. Home or away, nothings a given.

    Exactly. No win is a given. Thanks for adding to my point.

    Re: Not to be a Negative nancy, but why is everyone assuming the Blazers will win out

    There are two games they need to focus on. Both LA and Golden State. To me they are statement games and they can't allow those two to come back into the Rose Garden again and beat them in their house. BTW, if they do and they take Portlands best punch in the process. It prob means they are title contenders.

    Those are the ones that concern me most. I think every game is winnable and if they stay focused. It's very possible they do.

    i think we come out real ready to play against GS....high possibility of the clippers resting their big guns on the last game of the season cause they will most likely have 3rd sealed up.
    winning out highly possible. this may sound dumb but the one game im actually sort of worried about is at utah..
