    Funny was at O'Reilly auto parts yesterday and this crazy older gent pulls up in one and mutters something to me about my car while laughing. I told him your car runs on garbage right? He said mainly beer cans.

    I can see why he would say it. I have a bad feeling about this game too. Games between teams who are evenly matched often go to the team playing with the most urgency. Portland better play like they are down a game not up a game.

    If OKC wins tonight I can see them winning 3 in a row before Portland comes back in game 5.
    Then game 6 will be a slug fest. Got to stay close early tonight and win it late.

    I understand why people rag on Westbrick, but how can anybody disrespect PG? I would take him on our team in a heartbeat!

    We got this game...Go Blazers! Fuck the Thunder and all their bandwagon fans in the media! We beat them playing only half a good game in game one...we can beat them for a whole game...this series will resemble 2016-17 OKC matchup...SWEEP!

    It's down to 1 point. A lot of money going on OKC.

    Good! Just like game 1 Vegas is baiting people to take the Thunder. It's a sucker bet.

    I kind of see it different.
    The Thunder has been slow starters all season. They make late game runs. But lets hope you got the ending right.

    All we need is one more point than OKC. I am not proud. I will take a one point win any time.

    Alright. See ya all later. I'm gonna get on my merry way to the game.

    Keep it lively here.

    I will do a few sound tests and try to post them.
    Decibel readings just for fun.

    Go Blazers!
    Kjironman is a fan!!!

    It's still a team game. Meshing together skill sets matters. Chemistry matters.

    The advantage of the home team getting behind early is that the refs will typically get them back in the game at some point......errr.....I mean the home team will dig in and up their defense and then the fans will get into it and the momentum feeds on itself.

    Yeah. That's the ticket.

    You misspelled 'Dickhead'. Understandable since English is not your first language.

    You're doing great with your English BTW

    Let's go Blazers! RIP CITY! Stay competitive and keep being aggressive defending PG. Let Russ run his mouth out of the game and hope that we can hurt them again. #Optimistic
