    For Blazers games, I usually wait until the day before or day of if I wanna buy single game tickets. There is always a way to get a good deal to be had if you wait.

    As of now, the cheapest seats in Portland are more expensive than the cheapest seats in Oakland. May just be the initial hype of going to a WCF for the first time in almost two decades. I would expect those prices to go down though, especially if we lose one or both the first two games in Oakland.

    GSW needed 6 games to eliminate #8 seed, 6 games to eliminate #4 seed, but are supposedly going to sweep Portland, a team that already won two series? Please explain the logic.

    With Durant/Booger out, this feels like a game we need to steal if we want to have a chance.

    The theory is that the Warriors are "bored" and have spent much of the season on cruise control. At some point, they will become fully engaged and deliver a serious butt-kicking to someone.

    We shall see.

    The very best part of this? There's a certain Turncoat in Texas that is gonna have to sit on his couch and has to watch the team he thought didn't have a chance of getting to the Western Conference Finals. Unlike the team he decided to go to where this Texas Turncoat was going to win multiple Championships. Turning his back on his former one. He thought he had made the right decision but he was wrong.

    This might be extremely bitter to some of you, but I don't care.

    Oh, if we're going there, I'd just like to bask in the glory of being one of the few who said "goodbye and good riddance - we'll be better without you!"

    Nah, best part is that the team that on opening night got top billing is hoping for ping pong balls and couldn't find name coach for " best player".

    I think Kanter could be huge these 2 first games, I don’t think Draymond or Looney can stop him on the block. Hopefully Cousins doesn’t come back.

    Fuck man..... I had no idea Ramadan lasts until June.

    Also, one explanation for Kanter's play dropping off a bit, he's not allowed to use medication as well as food/water. That means he was playing through 100% of the pain.

    Not the boldest prediction I've made but without KD and Boogie, we're in great position to win both games 1 and 2. Then we only have to win one of our home games to take an almost insurmountable lead. If we win game three we'll be up 3-0 and that's never been overcome. I really think this series is ours to win. I can just taste the finals. Go Blazers!!!

    So KD may have already played his last game at Oracle?
