I know there are already many threads open but i want to focus on that: NOBODY deserves this more than Blazers fans. When we cut the lead to 3 and Hood went down i saw deja vu to all the injuries that we suffered over the years and i was wondering if history was about to repeat itself, but fortunately i was wrong. Man, we deserve this so much, sometimes i think that fans of franchises that constantly wins titles should feel some sort of "hey, we don't deserve this" but when it come to Blazers fans we deserve every bit of happy moments since we suffered a lot of bad things. I'm happy i didn't give up on this forum even if i had a lot of heated arguments over the years because now i can sense the happiness around this forum as we are all united in those happy moments. CJ is way more popular here in Italy now lol Nothing else to say, i'm happy and we deserve this.
@Portland2014 Going to be in Italy in June for a week and a half. Should I be representing with my Zers gear?
I think of one fanbase that I feel has had it worse than we do. Sacremento... Their best chance got completely ripped from them...
I stopped following the nba for a couple years out of disgust after that playoff series and subsequent Lakers championship. With shenanigans in the past small market teams have every reason to be paranoid about the refs or the league putting their thumb on the scale.
I stopped following the nba for obvious reasons. I partied hard with the Cavs (for obvious reasons). I came back. Go Blazers!
That Bibby/Stojakovic/Turkoglu/Webber/Divac team was fucking good...with Adelman at the helm. I remember when they got screwed over. It should have been them over LA.
