    Answer honestly - who looks like the superstar in this series ... Holiday or Lillard? The postseason is where legends are made. Dame has been legendary this postseason for all the wrong reasons.

    He's doing literally what every team does against us and Stotts has never shown an inclination to counter it. Any one of us here would have done the exact same thing. Not could have, would have.

    Props to Holiday. He has been the MVP of this series.

    Playoffs aren't the same beast as the regular season . . . Plus Davis is higher in the superstar food-chain. Thems the breaks.

    Can they just forfeit the last two games to save time and money and give us a head start on finding our new coach and (hopefully) gm?

    Yes; I’m not making my wife watch both kids all night just to watch us crap out another loss.

    At some point Stotts will cease to be bullet proof within this organization.

    No, the refs were far from fair and needlessly add mystery to the merit of the outcome.

    It’s like some of you don’t see that their entire strategy is to double and triple team Dame. They’re daring the rest of the team to hurt them and we can’t.

    We don’t have as much talent as the Pelicans without Boogie even.

    Olshey needs to go, he has crippled this franchise not only financially but from a talent prospective.

    Refs didn't cause us to loose the game. This is just a weak excuse.

    Portland is a jump shooting team. They're not going to get calls that way.

    You can look through all my posts on here. Every single one. I think there has been 1 other game where I said the Refs were one-sided. But guess what? This is the only other time. They were fair? Haha. Only if by fair you mean they missed calls on accident more than any game I have seen all season.
