    Why do we have zero chance? We were still in the game even with OKC finally hitting shots.

    Okc doesn't scare me. They aren't good and they are one Westbrook meltdown away from losing a game. Every time.

    That's a bush league decision to fine him that much.

    thschock .jpg If he actually does work, I hope he gets a severe ankle sprain that takes him out of the playoffs.

    Okay. So we got two guys saying the Blazers have no chance.
    I’m gonna go with OKC better bring their A game or the Blazers are gonna steal one.

    I don’t know who is going to win tonight but I think the series ultimately goes 7 which would be incredibly nerve wracking. We haven’t been in a Game 7 since 2003. Haven’t won a Game 7 since 1990.

    If they lose this game I tend to agree with you. But if they steal one I kind of think they could get win it in 5.

    This is my thought process.

    We win tonight and close it out in Portland. It's my wishful thinking, butt u want to see us go to round 2 in person!

    The last time i said zero chance we killed the Jazz in a blowout game at home. So here we go again: No chance we win this game

    No, i only said zero chance one time and that was against the Jazz without Nurkic. And i still think the Jazz would have been a better matchup for the Blazers. They are just so bad on offense

    We have lost the last 17 out of 18 road playoff games and currently an 8 game road playoff losing streak

    So I think it’s pretty fair to GUESS we will not win this game

    We also had a 10 game playoff game losing streak that we snapped this year. So it's fair to guess we're going to snap another streak too.

    It can work both ways. ;)

    Another aside. Even if the home team wins every game, we still win the series. So we can have a 10 game road losing streak and still win the series. #lookatmypositivespins

    I shall not give in to tyranny, in any form!!

    Granted, I'm not as stubborn as @Orion Bailey (no one is), but I'm too stubborn to stop rooting and hoping for the Blazers.

    We shall overcome!

    :cheers:
