    This game took so long Russell Westbrook made it to 2020 playoffs and got eliminated in the first round again.

    Im glad I didnt go to this game. I just got my voice fully back today. My throat would have been chris craig-like fucked up after tonight had I been there.

    I just walked in the door to my house at 12:55 AM. I have to get up for work at 6 AM.

    I can't imagine how this would feel on the losing end. So worth it the way it turned out though.

    It's one of my prized possessions, and I only wear it on very special occasions.

    If anyone ever says theres no point in sustained success and we should just tank every year that we don’t have the pieces to beat GSW, im throwing hands

    Whats really fun is this is the most my GF has been into basketball. She didnt understand the way playoffs worked this year because the last two years she just knows we did terribly. Now shes getting excited with me and its fun to share this with her.

    Shes a CNA and works nightshift so I was constantly updating her on the game tonight for her. Nice to have

    This game was so long by the end I was almost certain that Will Barton started it as a Blazer.

    Enjoy it while you can. With Kanter/Hood/Curry/Aminu likely to leave and no way to replace them, this could be our high water mark for several seasons.

    This series is far from over but a WCF appearance is a pretty good watermark. Also Nurkic will hopefully be back next year.

    I guess my point is, I am enjoying it while I can.

    Yep, far from over, if we win tomorrow however, I think we close it out in Mile High.

    I dont know, that game last night felt like two heavy weight hitters throwing haymakers and no one giving an inch. I was so proud of how the Blazers handled it, but also have gained a lot of respect for Malone and most of the Denver players. I dont think I’ll count those guys out until its over.

    Part of me was thinking man whoever wins this game is going to win the series, but also those teams look to be very evenly matched and both teams have a lot of fight.

    Made make think of lord of the rings...
    Theoden: If this is to be our end, then I would have them make such an end, as to be worthy of remembrance.

    Ill remember not just how great of a game that was and how awesome it was as a Blazer fan that the team I cheered for won, but also how good Denver was and how hard they played, great game of basketball.

    The team is doing better than expected this season, and that's great. I just wish they were in a position to build on this success.
