    He doesn't have to. The Blazers have to outplay the Warriors.

    Team game.

    If we can take two games, I'll be extremely happy with this season. If we get swept, it'd take some time to get the bad taste out of my mouth and appreciate the extended run we got.

    Yep. go out trying we seem to have a fair amount of quitters in this forum. Sad.
    I know he was disappointed in CJ in that last game of the series, but I never saw him say he would never watch or root for him again.

    I am much different as a fan than I was as a player or coach. I was very competitive and hated to lose when playing cause I was involved with how my teams would perform. As a fan, I have no say so or control that can change anything so I watch the games, root the team on and even if I am frustrated I let it go and move on. No need to dwell on something I have no control over. Life is too short.

    Nah, anytime anyone brought up CJ for awhile after that he would say that CJ was a quitter and that he'd never think of him as anything else.

    Oh well, no biggie.

    I was harsh on CJ for sure. He really looked like he rolled over after they were down 20 or so.
    Hoping we don't see that kind of game again. It was like 1st quarter and that game was over. We know now that is never that case. Matter of fact seems like Blazers play tougher when they are fighting to get back in a game.
    Pretty sure i would not have said NEVER in a post. Just not my style. CJ earned respect this year. But if he rolls over i will again be tough on him.

    Unfortunately under Stotts we've faced this exact situation down 3-0 in a playoff series 5 out of the last 6 years. The only year out of those 6 that we didn't face it we were down 2-0 in both series but won game 3. The previous 4 times being down 3-0 we have gotten swept twice and won just one game for the gentleman's sweep the other two.

    It's getting really old being on the verge of a sweep almost every year, no matter what round it is. I'm not quitting on the team I just am sick of them putting themselves in a position where I have to hear the same quotes almost every year.

    Very flawed thinking here. You know the response this sets you up for? Why even go there?
