Passing Houston

[KingSpeed]

Portland's next 3 are @HOU, @MEM, HOU. If we can win all 3 and HOU loses to the Warriors on Tuesday, we'll be 27-27 and the Rockets will be 27-28. If Utah keeps playing well, that means Houston will be out of the top 8. Meanwhile, Dallas's next 2 games are against SA and Utah. If Dallas loses both, they're 28-26, only 1 game ahead of us.

But to do all of this, we have to win 3 games.

Go Blazers!!!!!

Well, Houston IS in freefall. That's what happens when you acquire Josh Smith, don't you know?

IF

Why not hope we do?

Go Blazers!

Because people are still more interested in draft picks than victories.

If they free fall to the wcf again we riot.

I don't think going 0-for-restofseason gets us the kind of pick they seem to want.

At this point, may as well go for it (win).

You're preaching to the choir.

I think people just wanna lose so they can make slogans..

"Look lost so we can land the kid from AUS"

Go on a bender for Bender!

Thought about that one, but erased it.

"Let the season drag on for Dragan"

"Put up donuts for Sabonis"

Hey, not every joke is a winner. But, if it will make you feel better...

As Neil Olshey recently said, it's like poker - 'chip and a chair'. You can't win if you're not in the game. I'm just excited that we even get to say "IF" at this point of the season. That just means that 'we're still in the game'. Go Blazers!

Clutchfans must be a trainwreck this year. A lot of people expected Houston to be battling for the #1 seed but instead they seem to be imploding a bit.
