A streak
The Blazers beat the Milwaukee Bucks here at home yesterday, which makes three straight victories. The previous two were on the road in Memphis and at home against Miami. These three opponents have a combined win-loss record of 19-40 (.322 winning percentage), but hey, it beats losing to teams like those. The Blazers' record moves up to 8-12 (.400).
I just noticed that the Blazers will be playing Seattle at the Rose Garden on Christmas night at 5:00. Yikes. Turkey coma city.

Once again the Blazers tried to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, going from up 13 late in the third quarter to down 5 late in the fourth. Fortunately, they hung in there and managed to survive. All they've proven lately is that they can win against mediocre teams.

A win against a mediocre team is still a win, and much better than a loss to the same mediocre team.
I wait as patiently as possible as they (hopefully) edge their way up to .500.

As Jack Ramsay once said, "the sign of a good NBA coach is that his team beats the teams they are EXPECTED to beat." And Nate McMillan's Blazers seem to be doing that (with the exception of that miserable performance in Philly where Portland blew a 20-plus point lead). That said, James Jones for President and Travis Outlaw for Vice-President. Yeah THAT Travis Outlaw. He's finally learning to play the game, and who would have thunk it.
