6-game Road Trip (Poll)

[TorturedBlazerFan]

I put 2-4, and that wont be easy. Knicks I feel ok about. Wizards should be ok. The rest are tough.

Id be let down by that, I know its a tough trip, but 3-3 or better or Id really start questioning how good they really are.

Winning on the road is hard. going .500 is good, but this trip to me isn't .500.

I understand, we’ll find out!

This is not off to a good start. The good feelings of the hot start seem like a distant memory.

I still have good feelings. I went to every home game this year except the first preseason game. I’ve already seen them win 9 times. Our only 2 losses were an OT fluke loss where Wall hit bank shots and a loss to Lakers where LeBron hit 5 straight theees. As for the road, we are 3-3. Not bad. Nice win in Indiana for 2nd year in a row. Beat Hardenless Rockets but they still had CP3 who used to give us trouble. Beat a decent Orlando team too. On pace for 55 win season. Keep the good feelings going!!!

Funny. I saw us getting obliterated by the Warriors. But with Curry being out and Dramond being Michael Scott to K.D.'s Flenderson.... the last four games aren't looking that bad.

Agreed. Without Curry, they’ve looked like a lottery team.

we can still go 4-2

Are you talking about us?

I said 0-6

They COULD rise up and get someone, but meh

Being a long time Blazer fan has prepped me to expect the worst. It's the Schonely's dog mindset.

I hope they go at least 3-3 but in the back of my mind I fear they'll lose a few games they shouldn't. Prove me wrong, Blazers!

I also expect 3-3. They did lose a game they should not have in LA. I think Bucks and Warriors are the games that are in the losing side of 3-3.

You realize the play the Knicks, right?

So you think the KNICKS are more likely to win that game? Smh.

Better delete that Jinx post.

If they play like they have for the last 6 and a half quarters, they could lose to anyone... Now I assume someone or something will light a fire under them. They went from looking like an elite team to looking like a lottery team. Its a long season though.

Very true but if for some reason that were the only team on this trip to prevent the Blazers from going 0-6, there are some larger issues.

Larger like 67 games left of an 82 game season?

Of course....but a small stretch last season (losing 6 in a row at home) told me that Portland wasn't a serious contender no matter how how high of a seed they achieved unless something dramatically changed. They did play better but nothing had really changed other then they got in a rhythm and went on their annual hot streak. Come Playoff time, the fundamental issues reared their ugly heads.

If they were to lose 6 in a row on this road trip (admittedly easier to do than 6 games at home) I believe that speaks to some serious flaws this team has. Unless there is a major injury to a star, really good teams just don't go on such streaks historically.

2-2

Lost to the decent teams and beat the bad teams so far. Now playing the 2 best teams on the trip. #LitmusTest

I predicted 4-2 worst case on this trip....problem is I thought those 2 losses would be to the Bucks and Warriors...if we beat them I'll be thrilled!
