I think Durant has passed over Lebron as the best player in the league this year.
 
Crap. Phoenix is up 18 on the Wiz in the 3rd. That 22 point comeback win @ Minn to start the road trip really sparked them. After tonight, they have two easy games against the Knicks at home & on the road vs Lakers. We could be, guh, in 9th by Sunday.

Who's "we"? You don't ever root for the Blazers! You only show up when they are playing like crap.

Ahhh, not true. I want nothing more than to hold on & get in the post season. Don't even care what seed.
 
Suns lead from 25 down to 16. Love to see THEM cough one up!

It's definitely butt pucker time for the Blazers. Falling all the way out of the playoffs means a coaching change is in order, IMO, with an experienced and successful coach. Maybe George Karl?

Frustrating things about this is, I honestly believe they are a move or two away from being a 55-60 win team. Hope they don't mess with things too much.
 
Bullets only down 5 to PHX with 9 minutes left. Go Washington!
 
Damn! May have to fire up the league pass for this game!
 
...and the Bullets run out of gas, and PHX goes up 12. Wow, these last 10 games are going to be amazing!

2 points/ 1 rebound/ 2 blocks/ 2 fouls in 6 minutes.

You have an odd definition of "great."

When I posted, he was blocking and affecting shots on every possession. That's his job and he was doing great.
 
This is going to be a lot of fun! Lets actually build some character.... could be a good thing if we make it in.
 
I don't see the fun in a complete collapse in which we have lost 8 of 11 games and are headed south of 8th place. Lose the next 3 (all playoff teams right now), which is very possible, and we're done. Downright scary.

If you're just an NBA fan, it is def amazing. If you're a Blazers fan, it's terrifying.

This feels like it's going down to the wire. Maybe even last game of the season.

I have tickets to the April 4th game against PHX that I bought for my youngest daughter's birthday. At the time, I was able to get to A row tickets on the sidelines in the 300 level for $18! Who knew that game may actually be the most important game of the season.

That would be awful. I don't want that kind of pressure on our guys after such a great start.

I think it would be great for them. For us fans, not so great. Athletes don't sweat every game like fans do, because at least the athlete feels like he/she has some sort of control over the result. You win some, you lose some. Fandom is much more of a rollercoaster than actually being on the field or court, be it in HS, college, or the pros.

Nice. Yes that game is huge. We have better division record so if we beat Phoenix to tie the season series, we'll have the tiebreaker.

Ok. That makes sense. Being a fan, it's definitely scary. Not so scared playing 2K cuz I have some control. I get that.

I'm looking at the whole west, just not our team. It's fun to be in the middle of it. I don't look at the end result of what could be... just the moment. It's fun.

True. It may be getting worse. Suns have 2 easy games vs Knicks & at Lakers coming up (Didn't think they'd go 3-0 on road trip they just finished). We could be in 9th by Sunday. BUT, then the Suns schedule gets ROUGH & we have some easier ones. We could slip out, then crawl back in again. This is nuts!
