    The other night, I had this dream that Brandon hobbled out of the tunnel in his warmups (to a stunned, then roaring crowd), then proceeded to drop 30-something on the Suns, culminating in a Blazers victory.

    Obviously, that won't be happening, but one can still dream..................can't one? :sigh:

    The team pretty much played like Willis Reed last night...old, fat, and retired. Does that count?

    It ain't happening. Why risk Roy for this? If they were competitive or showing more life than they have in the past two games maybe he'd be a boost to get them over the top in a game 6 or 7, but I'm not so sure it's going to get past game 5

    OK, as close as it gets.

    LOL

    Granted, nobody thought he'd make this much of a difference, except me as it relates to Aldridge. heh

    No one knew Roy would play until he came out for warmups 15 minutes before the game. This thread started 28 hours earlier.

    Some people have psychic dreams. ABM, if you ever have a dream about something bad happening to me, let me know, fast.

    Didn't Willis Reed have like 2 points that game? I think he came out, made his first basket and left the game for good in the 1st quarter. Hard to drop 30-something on one leg. Fortunately for us (and much to my amazement) it appears as if Brandon's knee forgot it was injured.
