    Magnifier referred to our season as "terrible" and it made me think I don't agree. There were a lot of fun moments during the season. My favorite game in person was when we beat OKC at the Rose Garden and Afflalo grabbed the big rebound at the end. It was his best game as a Blazer. But my favorite game of the entire season was the triple overtime win in San Antonio. We trailed by 6 in the first and second overtimes, if I recall correctly, but we kept coming back and ultimately got the win. Damian had a career high 43 points and it was on national television. Also, Dorell Wright had what was probably his best game of the year, drilling 4 very important three pointers. Here's the box score:

    I wouldn't say a game.... but that damn road trip with SA and NOLA... and I think the OKC (with the russel Westbrook T when we were down with 10 with 1:30 left) was in that one too. That whole thing was awesome.

    Can't have just ONE favorite.....but there were favorites.

    @ SA/NO, back-to-back
    @ OKC, y'all know what time it is!
    @ Denver, putting up 80 in the first half
    - sweep of the Lakers
    vs Charlotte, comeback win (I think we were down over 20 points?)
    @ Utah, comeback win
    - every other comeback win

    Game 4, Meyers Legend


    If only we hadn't lost the game to Houston, that would have been such a sweet road trip. Would have continued the big winning streak we had at the time.

    I'd agree game 4 in the playoffs. One of these years a team is going to come back from 0-3 and I want to make sure I see it. Great to see CJ and Meyers do well at the biggest stage.

    The Spurs triple OT game would probably be next. I only live an hour away and of course didn't make it to that one but did go when we got blown out so was kicking myself while watching it.

    The OKC game would be next, always fun beating them. Westbrook looked like an idiot and they blew a big lead which is always fun.

    I can't remember one in particular but the series of games when we had Afflalo, LMA, before Wes got hurt were great. We went 5-0 and had an amazing lineup with Dame, AAA, Wes, Batum, LMA. They are small ball units but still lots of size and defense at the wings and something I really hope to see next year.
