The Undefeated Thread

[magnifier661]

It would be really nice to be the last undefeated team in the league; but I doubt it will happen. I've been wrong before though, so don't go "all in" with my "gut feelings". But what I do know is we are playing some incredible basketball; especially on the defensive end. I suspect we will win more than many before the start of the season believes. I actually think this team has a very good chance to be one of the top 3 teams in the West.

We will see what happens on the road. We've only watched home games and the only road game was a pre-season loss to the lowly Jazz. I think watching our 9 road games coming soon will be the true test. We could come out 3-6, 4-5, or 9-0. It just depends if we can bring the "defensive energy" like we have at home, on the road. I think this is what sets the great road warriors from the weak ones.

You know, I'm not too worried about losing so long as the Blazers play with the intensity they have been.

If this team, as according to LaMarcus, is like the team that won 13 straight then I think the Blazers have something special and they don't need to think as much about losing as about winning.

But, it would be nice to be undefeated while teams like OKC and Miami lose.

The amount of teeth grinding will depend on how we lose. There are honorable ways to lose and there are bridge-jumping ways to lose.

I think Portland was just as solid as I thought.

"They are who we thought they were!"

And then there were three:

1. OKC 5-0
2. Miami 4-0
3.Portland 3-0

Best of luck against the Thunder.

You still have a pretty impressive team, Portland.

 

[KingSpeed]

Heat lose.

OKC Thunder is the last team standing but they trail vs Champs as I type this

Well, that was quick.

Streaks come and go, but old threads never die. They just fade away.

I think that was first said by Gen. MacArthur.

Putting this thread to sleep will hurt us all, like killing our poor little furry cat. But it has to be done.

Had we only beat the Clippers....

We'd have been the last undefeated team standing!

Damn.
