    That's all it is.

    We've got a home game against the Spurs tonight.

    We split the regular season, and we both made it to the second round. Look around, we're in pretty good company. Look at Houston, who went 4-0 against the Spurs.

    Spurs are hot lately, and we're in a 3-game slump. Happens all the time. Remember the beginning of the season?

    Both could change tonight, and it really wouldn't be all that earth-shattering if we ended up winning the series.

    Yes. Yes it would. Beyond the fact that it would be the first time in NBA history, it would be earth-shattering given the fact that there hasn't been a competitive game in the series.

    Yeah. This is complete domination. But, let's see if we can catch lightning in a bottle. You never know what can happen. So far, though, this series has been boring.

    Easier said than done obviously. Playoff games (and especially elimination games) are not played in a vacuum

    This was all done deliberate. Portland will now make history and go 4-0 to make it to the WCF. Dramatics!

    I have NEVER gone out and bought a certain players signature shoes or whatever they are called just because of who's shoes they are. But I vow, that if the Blazers win four straight and take the series from the Spurs, I'll buy a pair of Dame's shoes.

    Do it ADIDAS!

    LOL

    It is alright to think about the future as if the season has ended. It has been a good season. The last three games the Showtime Lakers of the 80's would have had a hard time winning.

    Because my soccer team won the Premier League last night. I am okay with a loss today or tomorrow.
