    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I don't think they'll throw in the towel this game unless they're being blown out. I think they're going to put everything they have into this game, a rally-around-the-banner game. If they lose tonight, I think game 6 will be a true formality.

    If they win tonight, however, game 6 should still be an easy Blazers win but game 7 will be another all-out affair.

    That's what worries me though. I'm worried if we win tonight, our team will take game six as a formality.

    This should be simple. Slack off Moute whenever he's on the floor. Give plenty of help when Rivers attempts drives to the hoop. And take full advantage of a hack a DJ whenever the team is in the penalty.

    I dunno about this tactic with CP3 out. DJ's FT% may be better than LAC's FG% without CP3/Griffin.

    A 30% FG has more value than a 40% FT

    There is no way that could happen - if we come into that game up 3-2, the Moda Center will have an insane energy level.

    Yeah, you never want the team to treat any game as a formality, especially in the playoffs...but, barring injury, it's really hard to see how the Blazers lose at home to such a broken team.

    These Clippers aren't very sharp, they don't make the cut....

    I think it's safe to say that the Refs will be on high alert for "out for blood" play. Of course we may be misjudging the Clippers too. I'm always of the mindset that I hope the team that beat me goes on to win it all, because then I become the one who was eliminated by the champs not the team that fizzled in the next round.
