Lose Tomorrow and then.... become the first team to ever come back from 0-3!

This is the year.

I am sorry SPeed but at this point I don't think many of us are ready to go along with coming back from 0-3.

I don't konw if there are many of us who think they can come back from 0-2, let alone 0-3

Yep as I suspected

Talk is cheap, and the Blazers as always talk big and come back with a big fat loss. If they go down 0-3 they are done. If they win, they can still make it tight. My gut feeling is that Peaceman is right on the money though

But that's the point. When a team is down BIG, no one thinks they can come back. Cuz they have played so badly to that point. When a team comes back from 0-3, and it will happen, I don't think you'll find many people who saw it coming after 0-3. This team always plays best when it's in a hole. This team finished with 50 wins. That's about 10 more wins than most of you thought the Blazers would get, back when they were 7-9.

so, great prognosticator..how many games did you predict they'd win?

did you have them at 47 when they were 7-9????

that's the question.

most people thought they would only win about 40 when they started that weakly

I had em at 47 games from the get go. I said if they keep playing like this, (when they were 7-9) they'd win 40 games. There's a difference there.

Actually, if they kept playing like that, they would have only won 35 games.
