    From 11/23 - 12/23, the Blazers have a hellish 18 game stretch. 13 road games. Three separate road trips. 5 sets of back to backs, including two separate 4-in-5 spans. About 20,000 miles traveled.

    Looking through the schedule, I think they should be favored in every game but the 3 in SA, NO & HOU from 12/19-22 (including when Memphis comes to town). It's our unreasonable to think that they should be able to come through this stretch 14-4?

    I hope so. We're not afraid on the road. We went up 84-50 on the Nuggets and won in Denver on the 4th game in 5 days. We came out on fire against the Clippers in LA even though we ended up losing.

    At this point, I think they are at the "Spur's level". I feel confident about any road or home game from here on out

    Same. 12-6 still puts us at 21-9. that's not too shabby.

    Blazers will go 18-0 during the next 31 days but the wins will be so dominant that the NBA will erase two of our loses so they will actually go 20-0 in the next 18 games.

    Damn. That is brutal. Into the fire indeed.

    This where we separate the men from the boys, the pretenders from contenders, and find out what this team is really made of.

    Go Blazers!

    If we go 15-3 during that stretch, everyone and their mothers will be loading up on the bandwagon

    That would put us in the same spot we were in last year after 30 games.

    But our SOS was much easier last season during that stretch. The league is stronger and this 18 game stretch would be way harder than comparison of last season

    I think 13-5 is doable.

    meh Sports Center would still say that we managed that only because of an easy schedule...

    Then Joe Freeman would steal the idea and material
