Just came to say congrats. If you remember last time, I thought you Blazer fans were a joke for talking shit after beating us. I didn't think you guys were the real deal. I apologize for my actions, say whatever you want, I don't care, but you guys played a great game today. Showed me you guys are the real deal. I didn't watch the entire game so cannot comment that much, but from all that I saw, you guys were really impressive. You have a lot of young talent and I'm looking forward to the Oden vs Bynum duels in the future. Out of all the teams in the West, you guys are the only team we struggle against, so if we manage to face each other, I expect a very tough series. So yeah you guys can talk all the shit you want now, you've earned my respect as a team so I won't say anything back. Congrats on the win and enjoy it. I know DaRizzle is celebrating right now.
Yeah, this is going to be fun to watch for several years. Every game will be tough and entertaining, if nothing else. I wonder how many WCF we can look forward to?
Well, I for one thought the Lakers played very well for a back to back as well. It's good to get that W.
The ten or twelve plays where Oden and Bynum banged each other in the second half were AWESOME. I can't wait to see much, much more of that. When Kobe's gone, it's Bynum's team.
Wouldn't go that far. I think Drew will be a great player in the future, but he'll have to show me more for him to become a franchise player. But I agree Oden vs Bynum will be fun to watch.
I thought the Lakers played great. Portland is a great home team and it was a dog fight to the end, despite LA being on the back-end of a back-to-back. LA is nearly unbeatable at home and is generally a force even on the road against great home teams. Great team. But Portland is on its way.
Wow, a classy and decent L*ker fan. I didn't know you guys still existed, but you and DaRizzle have given me hope. Great game. The L*kers are one hell of a team and that was a dogfight.
Classy post -- nice work, Lost One. So, has DaRizz lost his Laker Fan Credentials as well? Poor guy just can't fit in anywhere these days...
Any honest Blazer fan knows that unless we are up by 12+ with 2 minutes left the Lakers are still in the game. Kobe has killed us many times before and we all remember the Shaq days. I'd bet most on this board were sweating till Kobe missed that last three? We don't like the Lakers, but you have to respect them!!! This is what a good rivalry should be!
That was one hell of a game. I think both teams played well, but both teams also have a lot more to offer. I hope the Blazers make it to the second or third series and get to play LA, even if we lose. It will be great for our young guys to go up against a great team in the playoffs. And if they happened to win, well, then the window would open up at that moment and I don't think it would shut for years.
