    It's never been done but one day, it will happen. I remember when no 8 seed had ever won. Eventually, it happens and history is made. We almost did it in 2003. Let's do it this time. We can beat these guys. Go Blazers!!

    That series changed when Mo realized how good ZBo is and Dallas had no answer for him

    We don't have a ZBo hiding on our bench.

    At this point I would. Not as a starter, but at least in the rotation. Our bench needs scoring and CJ can score.

    If we can keep it under 10 points, I will be happy.

    I think King Speed was using the same "believe harder" mantra in that Dallas series. And it almost worked. Doesn't hurt to resurrect it. I believe they can win Game 4 for sure.

    If we pullout a win on Monday and SOMEHOW sneak a win in Game 5 I will be believing harder than I've ever believed.

    Pressure is off. Time to just play basketball. Spurs have all the pressure to close. We have no pressure as no one expects a come back or even a single win. Now is our time. #believeharder

    Gotta love the optimism, but highly unlikely the way the Spurs are playing.
    Rip City never gives up!

    I'm sorta the superstitious type, so once we won games 5 and 6, I really did think it was because of this. Glad you dusted it off!

    I'm watching the Blues Brothers, if Jake and Elwood and get $5000 to the county tax assessors office in a 11 days the Blazers can come back from a 0-3 deficit.

    Well of course the team up 3-0 looks good before they crumble. I remember in 1994, before which no 8th seed had ever won, the Sonics DESTROYED the Nuggets in Games 1 and 2. The Nuggets came back and won three straight to win the series.

    I also think we're due for a blowout win. I think we're the only team but Charlotte that has never led by 10 points in the entire playoffs. Do you believe that? We have never led by 10 points! I think we're due. Blowout win in Game 4, OT win in Game 5, blowout win in Game 6, and 5 point win in Game 7. On to WCF...
