Portland's in fifth place

[Lanny]

1 1/2 games out of third place.

We've got a relatively easy game on Tuesday and two tougher games on Thursday and Saturday, all at home. Then it's five home games, all but one of which is winnable. The one tough home game is against Golden State. Let's hope for five wins and three losses or pray for 6 wins and two losses.

Sacramento Kings - W
Minnesota Timberwolves - L
Oklahoma City Thunder - L
Los Angeles Lakers - W
New York Knicks - W
Golden State Warriors - L

That’s my prediction. Hopefully we win all of these next 6 though.

I see the OKC and Warriors as L

 

[Chris Craig]

Kings - W
MIN - W
OKC - W
LAL - W
NYK - W

GSW - Hopefully a W

 

[KingSpeed]

Why the fuck would we lose to Minnesota and OKC at home? Cmon man.

 

[riverman]

I can get real used to this winning thing

 

[SportsAndWhine]

I can’t get used to any good that happens to the Blazers. I’m always waiting for the other shoe to drop.

The Wolves, Kings, & Lakers have front court games, that give us issues, so if we are not shooting well even against these guys, it could be 3&3 or 2&4.
In fact I will predict 3 & 3.

Totally agree. Blazers play the Okey Dokes well, and I believe the team is better now than when it lost to the Timber Pups earlier this season.

 

[Orion Bailey]

Because w lost to Denver and Utah at home.

Gotta keep it real bro.
Its a league where any team can beat any team right? Well its the same on their side as it is ours.

 

[Sarni]

Minnesota are without Butler, it's a very winnable game, and Oklahoma are very inconsistent. We might actually win the next 5.

 

[riverman]

When we win shooting terribly like the Suns game...I have hope the next game will make the rim a little bigger..Wes Mathews always used to say...you gotta win ugly games..

 

[craigehlo]

Minnesota are without Butler, it's a very winnable game, and Oklahoma are very inconsistent. We might actually win the next 5.

Minny should be considered a must-win. Towns always gives the Blazers trouble, but Wiggins can't pick up Butler's efficient scoring.

All games are 'winnable'.

Oh man... if we lose to one of them... lol.

 

[Chris Craig]

Oh man... if we lose to one of them... lol.

I agree with King that the Blazers should win both. The Twolves are without yheir heart and soul Jimmy B and we are 2-0 vs OKC...gotta win those

Word.

 

[BonesJones]

@KingSpeed We'll lose to either Minnesota or OKC at home.

@KingSpeed We'll lose to either Minnesota or OKC at home.

Why do you say that? You said we'd lose last night. I think you thought we'd lose to Utah and GS too.

 

[ripcityboy]

Want to see how the young players develop over this run. Collins is becoming a better and better player. Also, will Baldwin and Biggie get some garbage minutes.... but that will probably wait till the summer league. We only have till April 11th!

 

[THE HCP]

Why the fuck would we lose to Minnesota and OKC at home? Cmon man.

Because we have 2.5 really good players and a bunch of roll players. And our role players show up only 5 or 6 games out of 10.

Here's to a blowout of the Kings so that they can get some run. I want to see Rush out there actually.

Why? He sucks. Baldwin might actually have a future. He should be the first one out there to get minutes along with Biggie.

I call Bull Shit!

 

[KingSpeed]

How do you know he sucks? He could make some big shots for us in the playoffs. Just you wait.

 

[BonesJones]

How do you know he sucks? He could make some big shots for us in the playoffs. Just you wait.

Because he's played for years and he's always been trash.

He's not going to play in the playoffs dude, this dude is barely still in the league. If he does play, we're fucked.

So could Layman...

Basically, not really.

 

[KingSpeed]

He's an NBA champion and is a career 40.2% shooter from 3. He scored 15 points in a game winning effort against Houston in the playoffs.

Crawford will play in place of Butler and he can give us fits. He's like CJ, a prolific scorer when he's hot!
