I didn’t know you’re a birder. Like professional status, that’s awesome. I’m a huge bird-nerd, to the point where my friends make fun of me. Good luck I hope you catch your bird, and the game.

 

Apparently, I'm not the only one who can't sleep.

Not true

 

One fourth of game sevens decided it 3 points or less. So team that makes free throws wins.

 

I could not get PSU to change their ceremony times on that late of notice?

I will do better next time!

 

We need both Damian and CJ to have big games today. They need scoring from the bench, another 20+ point game from any one of them, like Hood from last game, would be huge. Keep turnovers low and from what I have been observing, hit your 3 point shots. The games in which the Blazers shoot poorly from 3 point land are the games they struggle to win.

They need to limit the Nuggets offensive rebounds and out hustle them all game. Defend, defend, defend!

I will miss the first half of the game, can't be avoided, ugh.

Warriors here we come. Go Blazers!

 

Huge game! Go Blazers!

 

Will all the way teams c

I remember him your right he wasn't much at the NBA level.

 

Good thing we been very good at 12:30 start time. The winner today game will the team the little things and who getting the loose balls. Who my X factors I got 2 of them Harkless and Aminu I am looking Aminu have good game on offensive and a lot better defense on Millsap and Harkless is great defense game against Murray if both players do that this game will send us to WCF.

 

I just hope we don't lose a close game and have to think about all the what ifs and bad calls. Would rather it be decisive. .or win on a last second Damian 3

 

When Nurk went out with that gruesome injury, I was sure that we were a first round exit despite Kanter doing his thing. Before the last game of the season, I was hoping that we'd lose in order to see OKC play HOU in the first round since I can't stand either team. Going into the series against OKC, I was nervous because everyone was saying that they haven't won a playoff series since KD's departure nor have they won a road playoff game during that stretch. Game 1 occurs and our ball movement and player involvement was BEAUTIFUL in the 1Q. What happened afterwards was complete shit and we were lucky that OKC couldn't hit 3s that game. Game 3 occurs and it was type of game where no matter how close we were to cutting the lead/tying the game, we weren't going to get over the hump since the refs had other plans. That game was the ultimate frontrunner display from OKC. Nice for us to steal a game over there and close it out in EPIC fashion in gm 5.

I also believed the Nuggets were fool's gold and I wasn't sure they were going to win their series against the Spurs. Winning that game in San Antonio did wonders as DeRozan transformed to Playoff DeRozan in gm 7. I didn't know what to expect from this series, but to win a game in Denver. The 3Q and the refs were the reasons why we lost gm 4. I was certain we'd lose gm 5, but to bounce back in gm 6 after a pitiful start was great.

So here we are. Game 7. Denver, Colorado with that altitude. First game 7 since 2000. First ever in the Lillard Era. I legit don't know what to expect. We have gone toe-to-toe with the 2nd best team in the West without our starting center and our backup center essentially playing with one shoulder. We have seen the likes of Hood and, to an extent, Collins grow up before our eyes. I'm happy that we get the early game since I live on the East Coast. If we were to lose, I hope we don't get blown out nor lose by a game winning shot. If we were to lose, the WCF will be MUCH MORE TOLERABLE for me since my hatred for the Rockets is on par with the (L)akers. Folks, you don't understand. I wouldn't even have the stomach to watch the WCF if the Rockets came back and won the series. I don't like the Warriors by ANY MEANS, but I like their ball movement and the Splash Bros are amazing to watch when they're on their game. Besides, I'll gladly watch the Warriors win one more title if that guarantees Durant leaving them in free agency.

As much as I hope we win, this Blazers team has exceeded my expectations big time. If anything else, if we can retain Kanter and Hood, I'd be ecstatic. I don't know how, but please get it done. That's all I ask.

 

Good Morning fellow fanatics!!

I got a good feelin' today.
I see where the Blazers are scheduled to fly back to PDX tonite.
Was wondering if anyone wants to greet them (like we did back in '77)?
They work out of the chartered zone so access is difficult but maybe @SlyPokerDog. or @
@ThePosterFormerlyKnownAsTheHCP. could arrange clearance or something?
Their itinerary has them landing at 6:45pm.
Now they could change and fly directly to SanFrancisco instead.
Anybody interested?

 

Rudy FURnandez is ready FAMS!
