    You don't know Steve Curry? He is head chef at Juan Wangs' Cuban/Cantonese fusion restaurant. Free Fedora and manual typewriter at every table! Non-Vegan and non-gluten free entrees available for a small service charge.

    If we could win tonight.... I would feel really really good about what we've done in these playoffs. Nobody expects us to win the series. To do that would shock the world, but if we could just win both home games, I would feel completely satisfied with this postseason. I think winning both home games would shut up all the people who said we were handed the first round. Beating the Warriors two times in a row would be amazing.

    It would be amazing, though I doubt it will stop the disrespect, people are going to say we only won because of Curry's injury blah blah blah, but to win twice in a row would destroy the Warriors confidence, destabilize their team, and I fully believe the Blazers can win, not just this game, but the series. That said, game four comes first, we must beat them again, we have their number, dial it in

    Haha if they think an injured Curry coming back too soon is going to make Dame nervous. And as Dame goes, so go the Blazers. I hope he does come back tonight and we go at him hard and relentlessly. I want to see that leg buckle.

    He'll end up tripping and hurting himself, and hark or Dame will get a flagrant 2 and be kicked out of the game

    They can call fouls all they like. We just need Vonleh to go in and fall on his leg.

    Over/under on incorrect goaltending calls?

    And he'll make one HUGE call against us, that swings momentum when we have it. Calling it now.

    The best part about these play offs is that the Blazers have adjusted well and improved with every game in both rounds. The guys know they have to play a pretty perfect game and execute in the final minutes and they've shown they can do that. I think these play offs have been priceless experience for these guys!

    And I'm with you on the game plan for Steph if he does play... have Dame and CJ go right at him relentlessly in the first quarter and see what happens. It's not just his knee that's sore at this point. He's not going to have the same stamina either.

    Yep, CJ needs to do that crossover of his, and Dame needs to dance dance dance.

    If we win tonight (and I'm 100% confident we will, don't know why), we'll win the series. In 6 games. Dame will get to WCF before Aldridge does.
