    dang we missed at one point 9 shots in a row in the 2nd. Not good, good news the 3rd is just around the corner, can't wait for those explosive 3rd quarters like we always do...

    Confession: I was going to skip this game, but I couldn't stay away. I start watchin, and we go from 11 up this. I guess I'm a jinx!

    I was right about the refs. They might not be the only problem, but they are sure adding to it!

    Maybe they should try twin towers. Nurk and hassan.

    CJ + Melo + Trent Jr = 4/19

    We’re up one at half. Given those shooting stats, you got to be happy being up against the 1 seed.

    And now comes our bad quarter. We needed to be up BIG at the half to have a chance, so it seems pretty foregone what is coming.

    That 1 for 15 stretch in the 2nd quarter was brutal. 2nd unit takes way too long to get into their offense and we were just stagnant in general. I think we need to play Nurk with the bench. Should stagger him with Dame.

    Announcers said Zach had high ankle sprain if that the case we won't see him no time soon. Hopefully that's not the case.

    We already had our 3rd quarter. Hope its finished.. Lakers also often play bad in 3rd quarter, so lets hope that their 3rd guarter is coming.

    Go Blazers!

    depth is a huge issue. If we had hood and ariza, I'd fancy us to win this series
