Down....But Not Out

As the Portland Trail Blazers left Houston on Sunday night, you know they all wondered if they would be making the return trip for Game 6 on Thursday. To be determined? Hardly. History shows they’ll be heading back.

Game 5 on Tuesday could be their last home game of the season. It could be the last game period. No one wants to go there – again. But knowing how Game 3 and Game 4 losses hurt in Houston – being so close but so far away twice – it is safe to assume the Blazers will take Game 5 against the Rockets at the Rose Garden.

Pencil it in.

It’s not in Portland’s DNA to lose three-straight games. It’s just not.

You’d have to go all the way back to December to find the last time they lost back-to-back-to-back games versus Orlando, at Utah and against the Los Angeles Clippers. It was the only time they lost three in a row all season long.

All season long.

As we've all witnessed, the postseason is a different kind of beast, but even Portland won’t go out like playoff punks – not on their own floor - despite going through these recent growing pains. Not in their own house. Not after experiencing double heartache in Houston.

Game 5 goes to the Blazers.

Game 6?

Let’s not go there.

I like the positive attitude Wendell. I'd be sadly disappointed if they laid an egg. I agree....they aren't that kind of team.
Go Blazers!
