    Blazers could use some Playoff karma. Nothing would be better than to put Westbrick out of his misery for the year.

    PG hasn’t been the same since post-All Star break and his shoulder ain’t getting better any time soon. I could be wrong, but if it was this current (post-ASG) PG we played against 4x this season, I doubt the season series ends 4-0 for the Thunder. As long as both PG and Westbrook don’t go all-world, the Thunder role players won’t be able to beat the Blazers. This is assuming, of course, that the Blazers bench outperforms the Thunder bench.

    Not the matchup I wanted to see but it will be fun. I think we can all agree that come playoff time the NBA is all about star power. I'll just leave it at that.

    So because we have Anfernee, Skal and Dame, we win!

    Pierce thinks he's had a better career than Dwayne Wade.

    Portland wanted this series, so deal with it. I'm still speechless we choose to play OKC with 2 superstars and good role players with an extremely good defense over Utah. SMFH

    Utah has the better D and the better Big man imo. OKC won’t blow us out, I expect all the games to be very close.

    Portland will win games 1 and 2, lose game 3 in overtime on the road, lose game 4 by 7 points, where a big fight breaks out after Nards sets a hard pick on Westbrook and they get into a brawl with punches thrown. Nards and Westbrook are suspended for game 5. Upon returning to the airport at 1:25am, similarly to 1977, some 5,000 Blazermaniacs (all driven by Uber driver Kingspeed at no charge!) greet the Blazers back home to Portland. Game 5 is a blowout with Portland winning by 25 points. Game six is no different as the Blazers close out OKC on the road as CJ goes off for 39 points and Damian winds up with 23 assists. Blazers win game 6 in OKC 112-90.

    Portland in 6

    Next up, San Antonio

    It will be a challenge for sure but I can't think of a first round match up that I would get more enjoyment out of winning than against the Thunder. And it would be even sweeter if the reason for that first round win was because of Dame going off. I think I'll go to sleep with that thihht in mind and hope for dreams to come true. GO BLAZERS and Rip City!

    How the fuck did Portland want this? They literally played their 6 worst players and made 2 rookies and Jake play all 48 minutes. They were down 28 points.
