    You can't be serious? 18 points on 6-14 and infinity times more rebounds and assists.

    You were the one who said we'd play bad in restart because of our play in the scrimmages. Well, we then won 8 of our next 10 games. Blowouts happen in the playoffs. Jordan got blown out during his title runs. It happens. The series is tied 1-1. This Lakers team has two players and that's it. We've shown we can beat them once. No reason we can't win again. As it was said, we got blown out in Game 5 vs Nuggets and then bounced back with two wins to win the series. There are a zillion examples of this.

    Fair enough. For me, tonight isn't even top 10 most upset I've been after a Blazers playoff loss, but tonight did suck!

    Ok here is your prediction. I doubt they will win another game but they might.

    I'm almost always willing to jump on the Olshey is an idiot wagon, but I don't know who was available that would have helped?

    Only counts as one win. Can they dominate us three times more? I doubt it. We have the better overall roster.

    I think their roster is way better than ours. Way better.

    I like to jump Olshey's crap as well, but I'm not even certain Jodi was willing to open the pocket book even if there were somebody to add. Not to mention, the odds of us making the playoffs were not very high.

    The fuck? It was MUCH better. I hate people who quit on their team after one playoff loss. If it's a blowout, they say it's over. If it's a close game, they say we blew our chance. LOSSES HAPPEN IN THE PLAYOFFS. Just gotta bounce back and win the next one.

    This game was much worse than just a bad loss. Sorry I don’t share your enthusiasm. Let’s see what happens Saturday. If they can play well and win one I’ll tell you that you were right.

    Rough night, hang in there everyone... As crappy as tonight was, I'm so glad we're watching the Blazers in the playoffs right now! Much better than discussing who we want with the 13th pick!
