    Amen, Magoo. I remember when we lost both home games against the Lakers to fall behind 1-3 in 2000 WCFs. We came back and forced a game 7 that we almost won. If this goes 7, it's on OUR COURT. We'll get better as the series goes on. Dame is a great leader. He will keep the team focused.

    I'll bet they win game 4, but New Orleans is just a horrible match-up. Rondo and Holliday can guard either Damian or McCollum, and we don't have anybody who can reasonably match up with Davis. New Orleans in 6 is probably how this goes, but there's always a slim chance things could turn around with an injury or some fluky shots going in.

    Everybody is a horrible match up when you are mediocre, good match ups are in the lottery.

    If there's a remedy for E.D., I know there can be a remedy for these Negative Nancy's. It's called a Blazers win on Thurday. Go Blazers!!

    Not saying Portland can't win in NO but a few things about that last game.

    1) Rondo didn't play in that game. Even if he would have, he only played 15-20 minutes/game during the regular season. They were saving him for this.
    2) Mirotic only played 20 minutes off the bench
    3) Lillard scored 41 but needed 33 shots. Blazers still barely won by 4.
    4) Pelicans were the hottest team in the west coming into the playoffs winging 5 straight. Including beating the Warriors in Oakland just 10 days ago. It's a good squad even without Cousins.

    Don't feel like you have to interact with KingSpeed. We know we're fucked.

    No. WE don't. Several people on the board have said they believe we'll come back in the series.

    You need to buy a stuffed Pelican, stick pins in it, and place it on the grave of Marie Laveau.

    The most famous cemetery, St. Louis Cemetery #1, is walking distance from the French Quarter and the Downtown area. Located on historic Basin Street, it is the burial place of Marie Laveau, the legendary “voodoo queen.” Believers and non-believers alike make pilgrimages to her tomb to make offerings to her spirit in return for what they hope will be blessings. The many “X’s” scrawled on the tomb attest to the power she is believed to wield, even long after her death. Many other New Orleanians who achieved world fame are buried there as well, including 19th century chess champion Paul Morphy, Homer Plessy of the landmark Supreme Court segregation decision Plessy vs. Ferguson, and members of Impressionist artist Edgar Degas’ New Orleans-based family.

    I'm being 100% serious. I need you to reverse hex the Blazers. Help us Obi King Kenobi, you're our only hope!

    This thread reeks of desperation, denial, and despair. I'm in. Go Blazers!
