I hate to say it, but keep in mind that we still haven't won any more postseason games than we did last year. It's a 7 game series, and the Blazers still have a LOT of work to do!
A road win is a road win. It's a big deal in the playoffs. We've proven we can beat a good team on the road in a game that means more than a January back-to-back.
No denying it -- huge win without a doubt! I'm just saying, let's not pop the champagne QUITE yet, you know? Because the other way to look at it is that even a big road win just counts for one single win in the final tally...
Who is popping the champagne? We have the real coaches bitching about Nate in one thread, and you're telling us all to calm down because of this win. I love our dysfunctional board.
A series win or loss affects my life ... how? The bills are still there, work is still there, and I somehow have to get from West Linn to the Rose Garden in 15 minutes on Thursday after I coach my kids' T-ball game.
You seriously wouldn't be affected by a series win or loss? In that case, I hearby excuse you from this thread -- you are welcome to all the champagne you like.
Of course it does. Then again, I woke up my kids late in the game tonight by yelling when Camby missed his dunk, so obviously it means something to me. Plus, I'm posting about the game at 12:30am, and I have to get up in 6 hours, but I have too much adrenaline to fall asleep right now. So, yeah, I guess a loss may affect me.
Wooow, I'm going nuts! I can't freaking wait for the series to come to Portland. Imagine what the Rose Garden will be like if we win game 2. All fans react differently, but freaking out is in our DNA. We ARE the same fan base who held a pep rally last year before the playoffs, and had a viewing party for the first round this year. so..
