08:12 AM ET 03.08 | What a long and sad trip this could be for Portland. In the first game of a self-described "make or break" seven-game road odyssey, the Trail Blazers were dealt a humbling 106-94 defeat by the Minnesota Timberwolves Wednesday night at the Target Center. It was the Blazers' eighth loss in the last 12 games and the team -- and the season -- is starting to feel a whole lot like a sinking ship that can't stop taking in water. So much so that the Blazers' always glass-half-full locker room showed a glimpse of acceptance after losing to the Timberwolves for the second time in five nights and dropping to 19-20 in a season that is quickly slipping away. "Yeah," Gerald Wallace said, when asked if it felt like he was aboard a sinking ship.

Such a far, far distance from the Glory Days of RIP City ... if they only had Greg Oden in the lineup, everything would be different ;)

In one of those odd stats that only the Elias Sports Bureau can produce, Love on Wednesday became the first player in NBA to record 25 points, 10 rebounds and three three-pointers in three consecutive games.

They have some nice pieces to trade away when the deadline rolls around. Crawford, Wallace, Felton to name a few. Crawford would fit nicely with the bulls or clippers if they can't get ray Allen
