    I was at that game with the standing room only tickets at the top row against the back wall (call this the 400 section) -- best live sports experience of my life!!

    The shot that broke LaMarcus's heart.

    Man bro it’s not that serious. I was just saying that video is played out man. It’s been almost 10 years. It’s a 1st round win dude then we got swept the next round by the spurs. Let’s win a ring

    I've been a fan of the Blazer since Day 1 and in that time I've had the pleasure of enjoying one championship. If that's your standard, you're in for a lot of disappointment as a Blazer fan. That play by Dame is one of the top plays in Blazers history. I don't care how many years go by, I'll always enjoy that play.

    It's so much bigger than that.

    Just as the video described, Portland, at the time, had the longest drought of ANY NBA team in winning a playoff series. We went though multiple seasons of 20-ish wins, the rise and fall of the Rise With Us era, and we were on the verge of blowing a series that saw us take the first two games on the road.

    I don't know if we go down to Houston two days later and win a Game 7. I don't know the trajectory of the franchise had we lost that game.

    I do know that moment will forever be etched in Trail Blazers lore for the remainder of time. It's arguably the greatest shot in franchise history. It was about as satisfying a playoff series win as we've had considering how unlikable the Rockets were, and, most importantly, it was the moment Damian Lillard became the face of the franchise.

    Can you please name for me how many players that have closed out ANY series with a game winning shot to end the game?

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    It was a good video, well produced. That's worth watching no matter how old the moment is.
