These guys are playing like crap right now. They should have lost their last three games. They BARELY beat the Kings and Clips, and now they lose to the Warriors.

I still think they are our ideal matchup, especially with HCA.

Their next seven games are:

Utah
@MiAmI
Phoenix
@Dallas
Dallas
@Houston
@San Antonio

I'm really hoping they can pass Houston, but lose enough that we can stay ahead of them. Can we do it?

Chris Paul is now dominating the ball to the point that I'm not sure if he realizes he has teammates that are not named David West.

Well we once barely beat the Kings but lost to the Clips and we lost twice to Golden State on the road.

They are a scary matchup imo. Paul would run circles around us. I'd rather play the Rockets I think.

Paul is running circles around himself at this point.

Paul plays with another All Star. Roy plays with 4 rookies and a third year player and has led the Blazers to more wins. I'm starting to this Roy is better than Paul.

I heard his shadow is trying to black ball him. 43 points and 9 assists isn't too bad my man.

In a loss while Jamal Crawfor went for 39 against him. Paul is an elite player, but he's trying to do too much right now. That team is worse now than they were a year ago.

Well tonight they didn't have any production from anyone outside of himself and West. Peja gave 7 points and everyone else was garbage. Posey and Chandler are hurt at the moment. It's understandable that he's trying to do more than usual when nobody is stepping up. I hope they continue to lose.

yes earlier in the season.. the point is we are peaking now while they seem to be struggling.

But they have been unable to win on our floor since Paul came into the league, and I would suspect that trend will continue into the postseason. As long as we have HCA, we're good to go.
