    I want SA also. Not for the Booing but i would like to see that happen. Tired of SA getting Houston and then Dallas. Never leaving the state of Texas to play the playoffs. Make Pops have to travel to the NW.

    Are "Beat LA" chants viable in a SA series?

    Oh what a couple wins does for a fanbase who's team has not met a lot of their expectations.

    Look Nurk is cool and all, and it's the flavor of the month right now.
    But Portland is still a weak rebounding team. It doesn't matter how well you play defense, if you can't rebound.
    What happened when OKC was forced to hit a 3 late in the game? How many attempts did they get at it.
    How did Philly send it into OT?

    I personally don't want to see the Spurs or GSW, because they will kill Portland on the glass.
    Frankly, I'm getting tired of saying to my TV. "oh for fuck sake rebound".

    Better to be seen than forgotten. Nurk wants the taste of playoff games. Its a whole new level of intensity.

    Are we settling for the #8 seed? Why aren't we thinking about the #7 seed?

    We've been out rebounded as a team once since Nurkic became a starter.

    total rebounds doesn't mean Portland isn't struggling on the defensive glass.
    Especially at key times in the game.

    I'm thinking the best seed we can get. If we can miraculously get a 4-1 record on the trip, the 6th seed is reachable.

    If we got SA in the first round Nurk would absolutely go OFF on Pau's weak ass. His defense is abysmal and he has looked so weak this year. Plus LA would most likely have some bad games in Portland being the sensitive prick he is. I laughed for three days straight when he deactivated his twitter account after getting torched on social media after his piss poor performances vs GSW.

    I think he could feast on either team, but good call.

    Dude got posterized by BG twice in the same game back when he was with the Lakers, and if you go watch a youtube video of the NBAs greatest posters he will probably be a victim more than anyone else.

    I would be really interested if a "Beat LA" chant could get in his head. Imagine if we were able to get in his head and take him out of the series. That's a tough choice between that and knocking off the scumbag Warriors. Either way I'd be hyped for either one of those series even with the Odds stacked against us.

    And as a matter of fact both their starting guards shot 0-14.

    Aldridge is out indefinitely with a heart issue....which would make SA beatable.
