Upcoming Big Road Trip........

[THE HCP]

13 days....... 7 games.......

This is a huge trip. Some days off between games, so that will help, but man oh man this is going to be tough.

@Minny
@Boston
@DC
@Indy
@NYC
@Chicago
@OKC

We fly out the day before the Wolves game, get into town about 3:30. Now there is a day off between Minny and Boston. Celtics/Wiz are back to back, but then we have 2 days off before Indy/NYC back to back. Then we finish up day off....Bulls.... day off..... Thunder. The guys are gonna be beat for what looks to be the 2 toughest teams on the trip unfortunately.

We HAVE to take these 2 games at home before we hit the road!

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

3-4 is my prediction for this road trip... but wouldnt be surprised if we went 2-5.

 

[RR7]

I hate when we have trips like this, and jump around the east/midwest. I know they are all relatively quick flights, and making up the schedule for all of the teams is difficult. Just seems like going DC, over to Indy, back east to NY, and then back to Chicago is really stupid travel planning. When a quick trip down the east, Boston, NY, DC and then over to Indy and Chicago would make more sense.
I remmeber last year or the year before we had a trip where we did something dumb like N.O., Minnesota, OKC, or something stupid like that.

 

[THE HCP]

Does seem like a lot of bouncing back and forth! Later this season I think we play Dallas/Bucks back to back!

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR SOME ROAD TRIPPIN' WITH BIG JOHN!

 

[Carlito]

And that will be the official end to blazers season. Cheers

 

[THE HCP]

^Hey look..... a negative post from this new guy.... go figure.

 

[yenniedn]

Wow, looks a lot like a 1-6 the way we've been playing on the road.

 

[glazeduck]

Just in time for the trade deadline...

A 1-6 roadie, followed by dumping Wallace, Felton, Crawford and Camby for whatever we can get for them puts us in the running for great lotto position...

 

[Rhal]

^Hey look..... a negative post from this new guy.... go figure.

Him and Brock cant not post negative things (although its hard to look on the bright side when it seems like your team doesnt care about playing hard for a win)

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Finish 0-7 and I bet we win a new coach!

 

[THE HCP]

I think 3-4..... gonna be tough though.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

I might go to the Chicago game. I'm in town for St. Paddy's day and the game is the night before (although I might just get drunk and eat a steak instead of the game).

HCP, if you want to get wasted on Saturday morning after the game if you guys are still in Chi-town, holla. staying on magnificant mile, right next to the river.

 

[THE HCP]

^Staying at the Trump Tower! I'll let you buy me some pizza and a beer!

You should change your moniker to O'Presidente.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

I'm right across the bridge at Hotel 71. :MARIS61:

we'll be getting into some trouble that night after the game. will hit you up closer to that day.

probably start drinking at 9am on st paddys day and going all day/all night.

 

[Nikolokolus]

I don't know what their record will be, but I believe without a doubt that the outcome of these 7 games will determine whether this team gets blown up or finally puts something together and maybe finally does something in the post-season. It'll be interesting to see what they're made of.

 

[Masbee]

I think 3-4..... gonna be tough though.

The way the Blazers have been playing recently, it is HARD to pick them as a sure thing on any of these games.

Either the team is going to get their shit together and play as a group while on the road, win 3 or 4 of these games, and keep the season from falling off the cliff - or they are going to go down in flames on this trip, and all hell will break loose.

Good Luck HCP. Stay out of the crossfire!

Don't drive.

Or, walk across a street for that matter.

 

[Carlito]

3-4 will beat minny hornets and wiz. Not sure what minny game. Celts is wild card.

 

[Nate4Prez]

Blazers have Minny and Nola at home before the road trip begins, there is two wins. They take that momentum on the road and get three wins against mediocre teams at Minny, Boston, and Washington. The next four games, Indy, NY, Chi, and OKC they split going 2-2. They then come back home and face Mil and Mem, two wins. So, in the next games I have the Blazers going 9-2.

 

[KingSpeed]

Honestly and sadly, 0-7 is very possible. The only bad team is Wash and they destroyed us at home.

 

[Carlito]

Kingspeed is correct I fear

 

[magnifier661]

Finish 0-7 and I bet we win a new coach!

I can live with that.

jump in the river?

just copped the retro timbers jersey, official st. paddy's day 2012 uniform. :MARIS61:

 

[KingSpeed]

I can live with that.

I can't! Which coach? You're ready to trash our season merely to get a NEW coach?

 

[magnifier661]

I can't! Which coach? You're ready to trash our season merely to get a NEW coach?

Yes I can. The moment Nate is fired, our team can finally move on. Our team needs to play hard, but the disconnect is still there. Let the nba world know that this team is looking for a new coach. Only until Nate is fired is when everyone around will know the position is available.

We are one pg and dead shot sg away from being 10 times better, but we need a coach that can sun a well oiled machine. Nate is only good at coaching broken down teams.

 

[Nate Dogg]

I am picking us to go 2-5.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

2-5

Seems about right.

 

[Nate Dogg]

2-5

Seems about right.

Yep, we both called it. The Chicago game was a great pickup but I knew we didn't have a chance for the Thunder. I would imagine our following road trip records will cause the team to be under .500 the rest of the season. I can see us losing all three games in the last part of the season Apri 21 @ Memphis, April 23 @ San Antonio, April 26 @ Utah.
