    That is the way i saw it also. When the refs were in control it hurt the Blazers flow. There were times i thought they were going to pull away and Doc or Paul would get the refs in the middle of it. At one point i watched Paul walk up to all three refs separate during some Jordan Free throws pleading his case.

    ESPN Highlights -

    Damn, that Lillard reverse was beautiful.
    CJ's dribble drive down the lane - what handles!!
    Harkless' spin move!
    And ESPN didn't even show the best play of the night - the Plumblee put-back reverse dunk!!

    "Blazers 2nd team in NBA history to win game 3 of a first round series after losing the first two by 20 or more points."

    We've got heart!!

    We only purposely hacked Jordan twice I think. He went 1/4 on those hacks. I think they unintentionally fouled him twice in the last 2 minutes and he missed all 4. That sealed the win.

    Playoff atmosphere was crazy. Way crazier than last year against the grizzlies. Chants all night, everyone was pumped. Beat LA constantly.

    Oh man. Greatest comeback I have ever seen. Broy goes from being dead to watching the Blazers win in the playoffs and still being alive.

    I didn't like going to hack-a-Jordan when the Blazers where up in the final minutes but oh well. It was a great win!

    There's really no hatred for the Grizzlies. They certainly don't cry as much as the Clippers do.

    :lol: Nah, I'm gonna go back and use my mod powers to delete his posts and continue this charade that our B-Roy is dead. He'll keep trying to post, saying he's alive, but I'll keep deleting his posts.

    CP3 is such a faker. It looks like he was feigning injury to gain sympathies from the refs so he wouldn't get hit with a flagrant foul.

    There was a foul that was intentional because he had the ball but it was with a little over 1 min left as i recall. Really it was a good play to foul him the second Paul threw him the ball. Also we watched Paul pretty much bulldoze Plumlee out of bounds the minute he grabbed the rebound. it sent Plums to the line and he hit both. The argument came from Dame with the way Paul fouled him. He didn't need to hit him that hard. He simply needed to foul the guy. Smart play again but classless in the way he did it.

    Lillard had a great game. Finally we got a great shooting night from him and it was fun to watch

    Cj was terrific

    Plumlee was absolutely the best player on the team tonight he did a lot of the little things and helped tremendously on the dbl team making good decisions.

    One thing I'll give having this playoff series over the asset is that Harkless has learned a ton from this experience. Probably Crabbe too, although he hasnt hit shots I think he gets cheaper for us while he takes this as a learning experience.

    Good game..

    Speaking of gaining sympathy, let's take a moment of silence for our dear fellow poster, B-Roy. May god rest his soul.



    It's like I can still read his posts. That's the impact he had on this forum. R.I.P.

    Great win by the Blazers we had more players show in the 2nd half. Harkless got mad and start playing great down the stretch and of course Plum,Dame,CJ, and Davis really play solid. But we need Henderson and Crabbe to step up. Some of these playing for contract next year and right Harkless is only one earning that contract.

    This was my favorite play of the night. It certainly got me out of my seat!

    Not only did Plumlee set a great screen to get Lillard a good shot, he followed it up with a hustle play going to the hoop. All effort and hard-work!

    Great win. I was worried about getting swept so it'll be nice to not have to worry about that. I don't know if getting swept is the kind of playoff experience you want. We were competitive in the opening halves of the first two games and have now won a game so at the least we'll have some postseason accomplishment to carry over for next year.

    This game was to avoid embarrassment. Job done. Next game is to make it a competitive series.
