Blazers Talk

I really hope Blazers can reach 50 win this season. Whens last time Blazers had 50 wins?

The last time the Blazers won 50 was during the 2002-03 season (50-32). If the Blazers can win 3 on this upcoming road trip, I think they have a pretty good shot at reaching 50.

wow last time was during 2002-2003? damn thats pretty long time. 6 years!

Poor start to the road trip.

Although the Grizzlies aren't a great team, Portland played very well on the road today.

An important Win. Beat Indiana before heading into Cleveland, and I'd say the first 3 games went well.

Yeah, this Indiana game is the key. Win it and they have a good shot at having a successful 3-2 road trip. Lose and they are looking at 2-3 at best since the odds of them winning in Cleveland are somewhere between slim and none.

Nice win for the Blazers against Indiana, even though the Pacers have been pretty bad lately. Hopefully Batum's injury is not serious and the Blazers can finish this road trip 3-2.

Any chance the Blazers pull off a miracle in Cleveland?

[UOducksTK1]

So far, so good.

Another nice win for Portland.

Lose to Cavs, and beat Milwaukee and we walk away we a 3-2. Very solid.

Good game against the Cavs. Defense was good enough to win. If we add +4 for LaMarcus being out and -4 for Nic's defense on LeBron - you know he is the best defender on the team, game over in regulation with a win for the up and coming Blazers!!!

[UOducksTK1]

Blazers are looking a lot better lately, and how ironic that they are playing their best ball on the road!

Even though we lost, I feel like we gained from this game. No LA, no batum, yet we played a great game.

Finish with a win against Milwaukee, and this road trip has been a success.

[VinnyKnuckles]

Yeah, definitely encouraging to see the Blazers play the Cavs competitive on the road. It seemed like the Cavs were pretty much just sleepwalking through most of the game so I am not sure how much the Blazers had to do with it, but still nice to see. It is just too bad Roy couldn't have stayed behind the three point line on that foul at the end of regulation. That was their chance to pull off the miracle.

13 games left and the Blazers are sitting at 6th in the West, but only 1.5 games out of 3rd and only 1.5 games out of 8th. This is going to be an intense finish to the season.

Finished the road trip with a win over Milwaukee. Time to head on home for a nice homestand.

[karlhungis]

Good road trip. It is too bad we didn't take advantage of the Cav's but 2 out of 3 isn't bad. I sure hope Oden gets his fouling under control. It is nice that we have some good depth to cover for it.

[VinnyKnuckles]

The Blazers are now 44-26. They only need to go 6-6 the rest of the way to reach 50 wins. They will likely need to do better than that if they want home court advantage in the first round though.

Hopefully the Blazers can sweep this upcoming 4 game homestand. At minimum, they need to win 3 out of 4.

[UOducksTK1]

Right after a strong 5 game road trip, Portland starts shitty at home.

Very frustrating game to watch. Portland should have locked this up in the 4th quarter.

[VinnyKnuckles]

Yeah, very frustrating. Roy had an off game. Hopefully the Blazers come out as ready to play against Phoenix on Thursday as they did against San Antonio and the Lakers.
