    It’s not that we need more shooters in the starting line up.

    It’s that we need more ball handlers in the starting line up. We’re stiff and limited out there.

    Yes. When you look at the lineup and Turner is the best, or even 2nd best, playmaker on the floor....yikes!

    I'm sure it was, nor did I ever say it wouldn't be loud tonight. The 76ers hadn't won 3 out of the previous 4 championships either. Some series there is a greater chance to come back from than others. Can we still do it, yes! It will be incredibly difficult though.

    You can't deny the human nature element of a crowd. If we were going into this game tied 1-1 then people would be so much more hyped and pumped for this game. I still think it will be super loud but with more of a nervous energy than pandemonium. I'm not trying to diminish anyone's belief of a comeback in this series but it's a little too rosy of an outlook to say it lost a slight amount of luster than had we won.

    I literally just shoveled out a big hill of dirt so I'm not worried about any hills.

    Zach Lowe said he would bet his life Stotts changes the lineup, Hood probably.

    I felt obligated to reply to these posts since my name was called 3x lol. In all seriousness, I wouldn't mind Aldridge returning at all. I just don't have the same animosity towards him unlike a lot of the fans too which is understandable. Aldridge would definitely be one of those missing pieces as he'd be upgrade at the #4. I remembered him saying he'd like to reunite with Portland, but IDK if that was just talk.

    The Great Philosopher Plato once said something that reminds me of you:
    "Admittance of intelligence, is the assurance of ignorance"...
    And this Asian Proverb:
    "It is a fool who chatters, but a wise man who listens.."
    Lighten up man, for you fail to see through the eyes of perception.
    (that one was mine...)

    I went to a game several years ago and we were playing Houston in the playoffs and down 0-2 in a best of 5 series so it was a must win situation and the crowd was as loud as I had ever heard it. The fans will likely be into it no matter what.

    Reminds me of superbeard. He was a great poster from the rockets fanbase and there was great discussion during the playoff series.

    I hate most houston fans, but that person was good people.

    We let that last game slip away at the end and the Warriors stole game 2 on their home floor. Time to defend our home court, take this series back to Cali. with a 2-2 tie. Go Blazers! :smiley-family:

    Article in today's SF Chronicle about Klay Thompson growing up a Blazers fan. The Thompson family lived right by Rasheed Wallace and the boys played with Sheed's kids. Might explain why Sheed was Klay' s favorite Blazer. Talked about how upset he was after Game 7 of 2000 WCF.

    All the hoopla about Dame' s Oakland ties but little about Thompson's Portland ties.
