    Has Jrue Holiday ever missed a 3 in the Moda Center?

    And if we got the 4th we would have lost in the 1st round

    Going from being the #3 Seed and making the Conference finals last year to this year's miserable season, it's like the triumph of climbing Mt Everest and then deciding to take quick way down by jumping off the top of the mountain.

    That's pure conjecture. But I question the assertion that Stotts wanted the 4th seed. Maybe he simply thought rest was more important than seeding. He sure didn't look scared of the Thunder when we played them in the first round.

    Things are definitely dark right now but we just gotta go beat the Pistons and go from there. Hope Grizzlies lose to Clippers in a couple days. And we'll pull to 2.5 games back.

    Gentry doesn't need a hotel when he visits Portland; he lives rent-free in Terry's mind.

    lebron's resurgence this year has more to do with the fact that he landed a top 3 player over the offseason

    Really? We had more than one game? :cheers: It was however the only game Stotts sat all the starters. He was playing to get the #4 seed instead of trying to get the best seed possible. Ant messed it up and it got us out of the Warriors bracket which enabled us to get to the WCF. Good for Ant.
