Disappointing loss but cannot complain with how the Blazers performed overall in the playoffs. Before the OKC series, just about all of the "experts" picked the Thunder. Blazers win in 5. Then the Blazers go down 3-2 to Denver and have the task of winning a game 7 on the road. They did just that. Now I know they blew three straight games where they had double digit leads which makes it painful, but we were playing the most dominant team in the NBA for the last five years. I enjoyed the ride this year. Excited to have Nurk back and hoping we can make some upgrades or an upgrade at the Forward position(s).
I think it's kinda cool how everyone on the team had their moments in the playoffs. Kanter had a huge 1st series. Aminu game 3 of the Thunder series Mo had multiple big games Curry 16 points and 3 steals against Steph Hood game winner and overall series against Denver Collins game 6 Denver Meyers 30 point career high Hell even Turner played huge in game 7
Dear Blazers, You have had an amazing run. You brought us to the WCF. Where in all honesty I think you ran out of gas. Do not despair where as most teams you battled their playoff run started when the regular season ended which they cruised to the end and rested players. Yours started in March with 2 injuries and still managed to climb the ladder and secure home court advantage. Hold your head high and do not despair your true fans know the real deal not some commentator looking to increase his headlines by kicking you when you are down. Thank You Portland Trailblazers for an amazing season the likes we have not seen in many years. This thank you comes from my family to all of you at the Blazers organization
Got a pretty big void to fill today. The obvious is to fill it with work. Fishing sounds better. Maybe a little of both. Blazers OT record 5 wins and 3 losses. Not sure i remember 8 OT's in a season and a record that good?
Here is another thing to be thankful for. Dame gonna be even more determined to get to the next level.
I knitted an entire sweater during the first two rounds of playoffs and got another well underway during conference finals.
