    Blaze is too clumsy to pull off this stunt. He still messes up dunks.
    Bango pulled this off the other night.

    just another example of how crappy the game operations are in Portland compared to other teams.

    Agree that Blaze is a horrible mascot, but think that someone new was in the suit for game 4. Not for sure if the usual Blaze is still down with Tommy John surgery, but the dunks off the trampoline looked better than normal.

    You mean you didn't love those sweet ass intro videos before the starting lineups for Games 3 and 4 that completely quieted the crowd?

    That dunk though was pretty good, felt like I was watching some WWE ladder match there.

    Those were the worst!! and with the retarded smoke machines they use for 10 seconds.. not sure what those were about. Its not like the players ran through it or something. This and last years intros in the playoffs have been total flops.

    Fortunately for the RG we have a very good self motivating crowd. But they have really been lame. I remember the Mavericks series there were fireballs and everything! I hear that fire is outlawed after the whole NOLA thing a couple years ago... but HOU still used them last year, and I think Utah had fireworls.

    Yeah, at least they learned last year after the Game 3 video flopped that they went back to one they used in the regular season. Although it wasn't anything special, it was at least better. But this year, they used the same video twice and both had the same dull reactions.

    The opening night video this year was great, they should go back to that one. And yeah, the smoke machines are really really really lame! Oh well. The game ops crew fails again.
