Alright. I was there. A lot of us were there. The refs. Brooks and Yao. Everyone minus BRoy and Greg sucking. But F that. This is a positive only thread. It's time to regroup and reload. None of this moping crap in this thread. I know it will be a game tomorrow night. I don't think the Blazers can not let it be with their poise and attitude. They got their shit rocked and their ready to come out and prove they belong. The Blazers will come to play, and we'll win tomorrow night and then take the first in Houston. Houston will regroup and take game 4, we'll take game 5 at home, Houston will win game 6 and then it will all come down to game 7 at the Garden. That's how it's going to go down. So let's do this. I will be epically pissed if there is no energy at the Garden tomorrow night, and I don't think that will be the case. I'm done licking my wounds. We're down, but not for the count. It's time to come back and support our team. It's time to help them win this shit! WHO THE HELL IS WITH ME!?!?
Hell yes. I'm with you! This feeling-sorry-for-ourselves or looking-for-excuses ends now. Tomorrow we show the NBA why we earned the 4 seed. I guarantee Houston goes down. It may not be pretty, but they go down. GO BLAZERS!!!
The Blazers should be feeling like they're back in the role of underdog, so hopefully that will be motivating enough to take the next one.
Right on brother. It was only one game. It was a combination of bad plays, jitters, bad coaching,inexperience and horrible refs. I hope we come out on fire, knock out some teeth and win!
Portland needs their version of the Raja Bell clothesline of Kobe. I don't care who is the victim. They need to treat Houston they same way they treat the Lakers. They stand up to the Lakers. They need to stand up to Houston. Knock the shit out of Yao with a nice hard fould once or twice. Put Brooks on his back the first time he is stupid enough to go the rack. Sadly, they need to play in a way they haven't all year. I have no idea if the current team has enough nasty in it to get the job done this year. I am totally psyched to find out if they do.
The RG will be rocking tomorrow night, but we have to get out to a good start. If we get out to another deflating bad start, then it's just going to be another depressing night.
I AM WITH YOU! We are gonna play with a chip on our shoulder! It should make for an EXCITING game regardless if we win. I wont mind losing if it is competitive and not a blow out, but deep inside I don't think the Blazers will allow it. I think they are gonna come out and want blood.
"Lying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willing, to trade all the days from this day to that for one chance! JUST ONE CHANCE, to come back here and say, they may take game one, but they'll never take, OUR FREEDOM!"
