    Some of those flops would make even James Harden embarrassed.

    Portland seems to have more of the intangibles and the chemistry. Let's see if that can beat the Clippers advantage in experience and talent. I don't doubt the Blazers will play hard and fight down to the final buzzer. It's just that Dame and CJ will have to be consistently big and that's not something they have managed to do so far against the Clippers.

    Can't wait for this game. I had seats in 14th row. Today, I get a call from StubHub saying they accidentally double sold my seats so they are moving us to 3rd row of same section for no additional cost.

    Hey all!

    From one basketball fan to another, good luck! You guys have a great team with really high upside and young players... You guys are primed to be in the running for a long time! It's going to be a hell of a series!

    I hope my Clippers won't take ya'll lightly, it's going to be a hard fought battle!

    But we hope the refs buy the Blazers flops.

    No doubt about that! Neil Olshey helped paved the way for what the Clippers are today. All the boneheaded moves we've made recently, not securing Neil Olshey was the worst move in my book!

    NOW LOOK AT YOU!

    Shit, I just realized no Holtkamp today. They are going to assign her to our game 100%... She's got a history with CP3, a controversial one as a matter of fact. Still don't want any part of that scrub reffing our game though.

    This is possibly the worst random post I've ever seen. And you're random posts have set a high bar.

    My biggest concern: I just hope the boys realize playoff basketball is a whole other level of intensity and show up ready to bring it (Coach Stotts included). I know Dame knows, and a couple of other players know, but we need to come out playing as hard as we possibly can for every second we're out there, or the Clippers will flat out embarrass us. They have the talent, and the refs will be on their side. They beat us 3 times this year and I don't think they've even put it all together yet (not that we were 100% in all of those matchups either, but still). It's us against everybody. Let's fucking do this.

    Please show me one single Blazers flop that is in the same universe as the egregious Clippers flops shown in this thread, and I will apologize to your post.

    Just one.
