Blazers starting a rough 5 game road trip against the West.

Last road trip out West for the season.

[oregontrack]

aw, crap. we're down 30.

oh, hey! we're up 9 now!

aw, we lost.

weird game.

It's hilarious Houston is playing so physical in the 4th quarter, yet they have no fouls. lol.

Blazers should still win this, good game so far.

I loathe everybody on the Rockets beside J-Lin.

Harden, Howard, and Beverley are big floppers and complainers. I hope we get them in the first round.

anti-clutch.

Nobody cares but me, but Spurs may end up with the top record in the NBA when the season ends. They have the best record right now and have been winning their tough games.

Batum with 22 points and 18 rebounds, at least we beat the Pelicans in our road trip..

[UOducksTK1]

Great game right now against the Warriors. Stotts and Mo Williams being dumb and getting T'd up gives the Warriors a slight lead right now.

Going to OT vs Bucks... Blazers have been struggling bad. Lost some close games too.

Wes and Robin taking over!! With a little sprinkle of Lillard.

[oregontrack]

christ, that was an abortion of a game.

At this point it looks like Portland will get the 5 seed. Portland can you please somehow beat Houston? I do not want my Spurs to see them in the second round. I'd much rather see Portland or the Clippers in the second round. Everytime he plays the Spurs, Harden can make halfcourt shots blindfolded.

i think penciling portland in as the 5 seed is extremely generous. i have a hard time seeing them holding off golden state, who are only 1.5 back with 12 games to go. don't underestimate how awful portland has looked lately.

i'd say the #6 seed the most *likely* landing spot for portland, but that will require them to actually play basketball at some point down the stretch... not whatever the hell that was last night. if they want to go into full-scale tank mode, dallas only 3 back, memphis 3.5. but even with all my pessimism i have a hard time seeing either catch portland. dallas is just as streaky, and even though memphis is playing great, they've got a lot of ground to cover.

not that i would mind falling, mind you. if we get the #6, the clips would beat us in 5. we'd have no shot. not that i think we'd beat either okc or san antonio in a 7 game series, but we match up better with both.

if memphis gets the #8, i think they knock san antonio off again. but i bet they catch dallas and claim the #7.

Good win vs a good bulls team tonight.
