    Before tonight, only 9 times had a Blazer score 40 or more points in a playoff game. Add Dame to the top of this list now -

    Dame and LaMarcus are the only Blazers to score 40 or more points in a Playoff game twice. I'm guessing we won't have to wait too much longer to see Dame as the only Blazer to achieve this feat 3 times.......

    I'm trying to figure out a way to fit a giant Blazer flag on my Cadillac.

    I love how Lillard walks around giving high-fives to the fans after he gets mobbed by the team. Dame is such a class act.



    My son said to me after the game that we’re lucky to have Dame as part of our Blazer watching generation. How right he is. Soak this all in. Player of Dame’s caliber don’t come around too often.

    Not strong enough, and if it's too strong it will damage the paint.

    I wish I had a sun roof. I had one in my 1989 Chrystler LeBaron years ago and flew a giant American flag out the top of it on a pole after 9/11.

    CJ hit some clutch shots late in the fourth.

    Aminu played amazing defense on Westbrook’s last miss.

    We wouldn’t have been in a position to win without either. They deserve some love, especially since I’ve been shitting on CJ all year.

    Ok guys I’m back. I cannot believe what happened.

    From here on out I will never ever doubt Dame. Quote me. I been saying this to be fair all series as well and especially today. He was the only only who willed us from the opening tip.

    Quite frankly it was the best game I seen from an NBA player when you consider the circumstances. It was amazing..

    Damian Lillard proved it tonight man. I’m speechless and grateful that he reps us

    Guys.

    I just got home.

    I have no words about how it felt to see that shot go in. I hugged complete strangers. I sat in my seat for 15 minutes just randomly yelling out "WHOO" and "RIP CITY". I had ushers tell me I have to leave because I sat there too long, and all I could say in my weakest voice possible was "Give me a minute."

    When Eric and I walked to our cars, we had people honking at us, wooing at us, cheering with us. They had a band outside playing and everyone was jumping around in jubilation.

    There is nothing that will ever compare to that moment until we win a championship.

    Dame is special. We may never have another player like him. Cherish him. He is the best we may ever have. I felt so honored to be amongst 20,000 friends tonight watching such a special moment.

    I watched the national broadcast of the game on my phone at work, shhh don’t tell the boss.

    I’m watching the last quarter of the national broadcast right now on the bus on my way home.

    I’m going to watch the Trail Blazers broadcast of the whole game as soon as I get home.
