Vs. Sacramento L - The long standing tradition of getting murdered by ex Blazers continues as Sergio makes Blake and Miller his bitch.
Vs. Phoenix L - Portland would have trouble with this team even at full strength.
@ Orlando L - The only question is will the team lose by 5 or 15.
@ Miami L - Wade will remember the last game.
@ Dallas L - Another team Portland has a hell of a time beating. That isn't going to change this season.
@ San Antonio L - Two words: DeJuan Blair.
Vs. Denver L - Considering how well they played last Christmas I am hoping Santa brings me a close game this year.

I guess I am going to have to go 0-7. The team is going to hit rock fucking bottom this month.

If it actually goes like that (a 9 game losing streak by the end of that), I hope it pretty much continues like that for the rest of the season, with Roy, Aldridge and Bayless lighting it up in losing efforts. Then Portland gets a top draft pick, and adds it to Roy, Aldridge, Bayless and a healthy Oden, Batum, Rudy and Outlaw.

I was only being half serious though I can honestly see the team simply falling apart in the next two weeks.

They will probably beat the Kings. I just don't see them beating anyone else this month.

My opinion changes if they change the line-up and rotations. But I trust that Nate won't ruin a bad thing.

We could very well be a sub .500 team after this stretch.

My prediction (several posts) has been that Portland would be playing Denver on Christmas Day, determing our fate - of being a sub-500 team.

Also stated that the "melt-down" was happening before Oden got hurt.


Not a hater by any means!! Just my own realistic perspective.


Too many injuries; poor coaching during stretches; bad move bringing in Miller; etc.
 
I think anybody here would have taken 3-4.

Right now, we're 3-1 though. If we can win one of the next 3, I'd be thrilled.
 
What's important is if the team can hold on and come out of this road trip and the Denver game around .500, 4/5 next games will be at home, all 5 games against teams currently under .500.

It'd be great if they could get their record to 18-13 going into the Denver game, and now all of the sudden that game doesn't look so impossible to win with the team stepping up. For now I'll give them the win there.

So 19-13 going into that 5 game stretch against teams all currently under .500 with 4/5 being at home could really help the Blazers pad their W/L record. 24-13/23-14 after this disastrous start to the season would be phenomenal.
 
Record aside, I believe the move to make Miller the starter and the uptick in Bayless' minutes along with Blake settling back into a role he's more comfortable with (the 28~ minutes a night thing) have given this team a better sense of roles and frankly some better harmony. Furthermore, I think this team is finally playing pretty hard for the most part and are starting to show some of the character they lived off of last season.

Like I said above, record be damned I just want to see them play hard, compete, and not settle.

Agreed!

on all accounts you speak of!


Start Miller
Play Bayless - and give him a green light to do what he does!
Use Blake as your true back-up PG (around 24 minutes is fine)


And keep up the hustle! It is producing wins!!
 
:smiley-comino-45470YES!!! BRING UP OLD FALSE PREDICTIONS! YES!!!!! MWUAHAHAHAH!:smiley-comino-45470:
 
Inserting Miller back into the starting lineup really changed things. The Blazers were 2-4 in December and things were really looking bleak.

Enter Andre Miller. Since being inserted back into the starting unit the team has gone 5-1 while playing the toughest stretch of the season.
 
Wow. I really thought we'd go 2-5 and I used to be the ultra optimist in here. I can't believe we have a legit shot of going 6-1.

Incredible.

I think that, for whatever homeristic optimism I have, we can win 4 or 5. I think the team changes...I think the lineup changes...I think we break out of the malaise.

If nothing changes, we might win 2.

Brian, do you have any stock tips? Wow, that was a BOLD prediction and damn close to accurate.
 
How about 6 and Freeking 1? Are you kidding me? Who saw this coming?

I can't believe what I'm seeing - simply amazing when you think about the fact that 2/3 of our frontcourt is (old) Juwan Howard and (just activated rookie) Jeff Pendegraph.
 
6-1

You've got to be kidding me.

Now we have to see if the team can get up for the bad teams like Philly and L.A.

Go Blazers!

that's a good point Kingspeed - it's not like we're rolling enough talent out there right now to just steamroll the patsies by showing up. They have to play just as hard and execute just as well against the lesser teams to win. Now, they might not need to shoot 52% from the field and 52% for 3 Point range . . . These guys are having fun, so I expect the effort at least to continue.
 
6-1 sounds about right. Somebody fuckin pinch me. I love this team!
