    Didn't you put Hobbesarable on ignore? If so, I don't think he can see this message.

    I ignored one poster a couple of years ago and he couldn't see my posts after that. But that was before the latest forum change.

    I do have Tunchi and Orion on ignore; although every once in a while I show ignores and read them. Tunchi for obvious reasons, Orion because his posts often ramble on with no substance for too long, sort of like this post. Wish Orion the best though; and hope Tunchi can improve his excessive negativity. I've tried desperately to put Strennus on ignore but it won't let me do it for mods. I accepted Sly's offer of $20 paypal payment to ban him but now he won't give me an address to pay for it.

    I did create the thread before game 2; and it was as much a therapeutic effort for me to cope with the eventual coming losses as anything else. I did believe we had no reasonable chance at all at that point. Griffin looked decent his last game of the regular season; better in game 1 against us. CP3 looked amazing, far superior to Dame, and that continued every minute of this series. Redick didn't appear limited in any way from his heel injury, and had the best season of his career. Can you really blame a Blazers fanatic who's been beaten down over the years as much as we all have? 98 percent of experts picked us to lose the series. I try to take an objective look; I thought it was reasonable we'd even fight for a playoff spot back in the preaseason so its not as if I'm a troll who always predicts doom.

    That all three injuries would impact the Clippers as they have in 6 days seems so unlikely I don't know what to think of my prediction. Yeah that first post looks stupid now but was this within the realm of realistic outcomes? I'm certainly not complaining.

    But before I eat my big plate of crow we need to close the deal with this series. With all that's happened we still have to win a game on the road against the Clippers. This is a Clippers squad that won in Utah sitting all their starters when Utah desperately needed the game for the playoffs. The Clippers are only a 2 point underdog after the Griffin injury. We've lost to far inferior opponents this season. I'd now rank us as the favorite. Hopefully we're talking about the Warriors on Sunday.

    Draco, don't worry about it. The Blazers really did not have much of a chance to win the series if it weren't for these injuries. We could have still pulled off game 2, but slim chance we'd have won in LA.

    I just think it would be awesome if we win game 5 and Mark Mason comes back for game 6 and Damian shouts RIP CITAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY into the mic again!

    I'm out another $700 because I had to buy game 6. Hopefully it's worth it!

    I make a lot of money if we win in 6. First, I get $100 from Draco for winning the series. Then I get the $700 back that I spent on Game 7 tickets. Go Blazers!!!
