Portland has a shot at winning 9 in a row before the Laker's game

[anonymous gambler]

It's not as improbable as it sounds.

We have a game at Charlotte, which we should win- win #5
A game at Atlanta, which is our toughest challenge- win #6

Then three home games- two against Cleveland and Philadelphia and a tough one against Dallas.

We should be favored to win every game, but the Atlanta one and really have only two tough games in this stretch.

Imagine- the Blazers come into Staples to face the Lakers after having won their last 9 games overall and the last 7 (?) on the road.

Might be enough to make Kobe cry? Well...maybe not, but interesting to think about.

Why the hell would you make this post now? SMH.

Atlanta has our Number, only game I'm worried about.

Is it so likely that you placed an anonymous bet on it? I had to say it.

Nik beat me to it.. but as soon as I saw the title I thought the same thing

Actually shouldn't the title have been "Portland has a shot at winning 9 in a row before beating the Lakers!"

MB on G:

That's seven-straight road wins. It's the first time the Blazers have done that since 1991. This team is different now, and it certainly appears that attitude is here to stay. I interviewed Wallace after the game, and tried to get him to admit how good this felt. All he could talk about was how the team had to stay focused, and how the goal here is a 4-0 road trip, not just a win in Miami. Exactly what I, and I imagine you, wanted to hear.

Of course! I'd say it's a long shot, but not incredibly so. I'm just worried about the Atlanta game, though by chance, we could lose any of the games. I really think the Atlanta game is the only one where we won't be favored.

The other interesting thing is that it could be 9 in a row against something like 12 in a row for the Lakers (though they have two really tough games in between)

18-0!

can we get a 1 day ban policy for anyone who posts an "18-0"? I don't mean pointing out that it's an 18-0 post, i mean the OP or what ABM did.

Wallace is all business, while Barrett is all about feeling good.

Great post by Barrett. Most blogs are poorly written, but this one was quite polished. I'm impressed.

Heck, I am worried about Philly just because they beat us regardless if they are shitty or not. They are least decent this year and so I am actually think that is more likely a loss than against Atlanta or Dallas.

 

[KingSpeed]

Why stop there? We have a shot of closing the season on a 22 game win streak.

Let's get the Charlotte game, and then worry about the rest. One game at a time. Don't get caught looking ahead.
