even the blazers get the 8th seed, its gonna be a dog fight. idk, passing the grizz or nuggets will be difficult not to mention holding off utah and wolves.

the blazers do have a very easy april if they can hold around.
 
there are no "MUST WIN" games in february. going to be tough to make the playoffs but at this point i'm not nearly as interested in "making" the playoffs but having a team that can make a run once we get there and this team doesn't seem to have it in them.
 
with lakers and spurs on sched next week.....

i'd say must win otherwise 16-18 and season likely over
 
I think I can make a solid guarantee that with Failton and Crawful we have about A 10% chance of making the playoffs and about a 1% chance of winning more than 1 game in them if we somehow stagger in (involving a few airplane crashes with teams in front of us).

I'm much more coming around to the idea of more playing time for Smith & Williams to acclimate them to the NBA game, starting Batum to get him more interested in staying here and getting better draft position. Not tank, but just accept the fact Failtonn & Crawful were horrible mistakes and start preparing for next year without their sorry games.
 
I'm not rooting for the team to lose, but with every loss they improve their chances in a talent rich draft so it's sort of a "win-win" in my mind.

Man, the black cloud around here is getting so thick that it's difficult to see clearly. Need I remind you that this team beat OKC twice (okay, the record book says once, but that's only due to a major screwup by the refs), and had the team with the third best record in the West down by 18 in their last game despite it being the 3rd game in 3 nights and Aldridge being out? Yeah, they ended up losing that game, but that's only because of fatigue and LA not playing. It isn't that the Blazers can't compete with anyone in the league, it's that they've been consistently inconsistent. A trade for another PG (please God), or even Felton getting back to playing like the Felton of the first 7 games of this season, and the Blazers would be right in the thick of things...not because they're so great and the roster is perfect, but because the West is wide open.

Good morn. Must get out of my trade mode & into my beat hawk's mind set. With lakers& san ant coming up real big game tonight.
 
These type of threads crack me up. If this is a must win....... what's the next game?
 
maybe at the end of the year we are battling for draft position, those games will be must lose
 
^not working for me, what did these tools say?
 
It's great writing, and pretty creepy in how similar that situation was to our current one. .

The focus was there, it wouldn’t be long now.

The Lakers had been winning championships on and off over the past decade and always seemed to be in contention, but it finally looked like the Lakers run as top dog in the Western Conference was coming to an end.

The Eastern conference was starting to be dominated by a young Chicago Bulls team, led by the league’s MVP, and team of stars led by Pat Riley. But who can worry about the East? The focus just needs to be on the Western Conference; we just need a way out of the first round.

His coach was having trouble controlling the team. Dissension was rife in the locker-room. Where once a proud man sat, having been praised as coach of the year, now sat a man confused by how quickly the media, fans, and players had turned on him.

The sound of the rain was monotonous; it felt like it never stopped.

Each and every loss this year felt like a dagger slicing his skin: the pain was pure agony.

His mind focused: it was 1989:

· his 6th yr Texas-raised superstar was Drexler, replacing the Blazers former #1 scorer, all-star SG Paxson

· his 5th yr injury-prone superstar center was Sam Bowie, whom had been followed in the draft by Jordan

· his 4th yr talented defensive minded SF was Jerome Kersey

· his coach was Mike Schuler

His mind focused even more: the day was Jan 27th, 1989. The Blazers had just lost their 4th straight home game, dropping the Blazers to a single game above 500, a pitiful 20-19.

It was the Friday night before a Saturday home game against the Atlanta Hawks.

It's a must win, because if the Blazers don't win then they're folding up the team and moving to Seattle.

Blazers have an air tight deal with the RG no way they can get out of it.

As for this game being a must win, don't really think its a must win. Its to early to count anything out so the most i'd call it is a win that makes it easir on us when we have a tight race for the playoffs in two months.

Yeah, because obviously I was being serious about things.

The amount of people iv heard who are scared we will lose the blazers to seattle in the next few years if they cant get a team is pretty ridiculousness.

context clues! They would fold up after 1 loss and move to Seattle..

Anyways, thank GAWD they won last night. Now the season is saved! That is until the next MUST WIN GAME!!!!!

I only want them in the playoffs if they're playing dominantly, so they've at least got a realistic shot of getting out of the first and maybe doing more. If it's going to be backing in with a whimper or looking like a run-of-the-mill one hit wonder, then I'd frankly rather go into the lottery.

It's a little bit like eating food: Give me hot or give me cold, but fuck lukewarm.
 
Realistically though I don't think they get in. Passing Houston Denver or Memphis is unlikely. Holding off Utah and Sota will be hard enough!
 
So if the Hawk game was a "must win"...... what now, we won. Does that allows us to lose to the Lakers, or is that one a "must win" as well?
 
lakers is a must win, i suggest a human sacrifice
