A Helpful Day Off?

[Boise Blazer]

We have they day off but it could still be a very helpful day for us in the standings.

DAL @ BOS - tough match up for the Mavs

LAL @ SAS - either way helps but SAS loss helps more in the big picture

PHO @ ATL - a Suns road loss here against a good Hawks squad would really help by giving us an 2.5 game lead over the 9th spot

HOU @ DET - The Pistons need to step it up but a losable game for the ROckets for sure

UTH @ DEN - Again, either way help but a DEN loss probably helps more however a Jazz loss gives a 2.5 game lead over them as well with a game against them on 1/31 and a chance to do more damage

The chance is here for the Blazers to step up and do what playoff teams do: Win our games against the teams we should beat while our playoff rivals are playing against tough teams.

I agree, big day.

I would love to see Dallas, Phx, Houston, and Utah go down (SAS too) and have Ptd win the next 2 against the Clips and the Bobcats.

That would create some breathing room before the tough three game stretch of Utah, NO, Dallas.

New Orleans is playing without David West and Tyson Chandler, so we should be able to steal one from them.

I feel really good about the second half of the season, especially since we started out so strong with a tough schedule. Those wins were huge.

Definitely going to be a helpful day for us. It'll be nice to have a real 2-game cushion on the Mavs as they will have two more losses than us, and hopefully a 2.5 game cushion on Phoenix.

And then facing the Clippers on Monday, we need to get that revenge on them and it could be a 3-game cushion ahead of ninth.
