Scott Heacock said...: No one can say the TRAILBLAZERS are not hot. Look at the stats.
That’s T.W.E.L.V.E consecutive in the win column. Rebounds, Assists, six players scoring in double digits What’s really impressive is their Defensive stats any team can score but, it's usually the team that stops the other team from scoring that gets the W. Let’s see what the Streaking Blazers can do in January on the road against the often unfairly higher touted eastern conference teams in their house.
Chances are they keep up the "D" and they will keep getting the wins.; 9:57 PM

RebbyPDX said...: 12 is also the largest point margin of any of their wins. Meanwhile they won an overtime game, a 1-pointer, a 3-pointer, and a 5-pointer. They are winning the close ones. This is good because nothing is more discouraging for a team than to lose close games. For such a young team they are exhibiting the maturity of a veteran team that is used to winning. I hope this continues. I think the keys are teamwork, their deep bench, and being hungry - just like a prize fighter that is getting a title shot at the champion.; 9:53 PM
