    Blazers won the Nets game, but lost Nurkic. That's a terrible exchange.

    Blazers have clinched the Playoffs, but a first round exit as well, I suppose.

    Being a Blazers fan is just not fair.

    Definitely, the air has been let out of the balloon. What little hope for the season I had before has now been squashed.

    Man, Chicago is so terrible that we are down to one of our Big 3, and we should still win this game.

    What's even the fucking point. I want to see Zach, Jake, Labissiere and the rookies honestly. Won't happen but I wish it would

    I'm somewhere between Denial and Anger. With a lot of Depression thrown in.

    I honestly might take a break from watching. I need time. Seems like this would be a good "let it go" game.

    I totally agree. Blazers are the last thing I’ll be watching nowadays, I hate that ends like this but it’s just too hard to win the NBA with no help.

    I’m looking forward to try again next year

    You can't even look forward to trying next year - we didn't just lose this playoff run, we've likely lost the whole next season. That's the worst part about this - I could suck it up for a month, but knowing that we're back to being hopeless all next winter really, really sucks.

    As Blazer fans, we should be conditioned to just accept our fate. As soon as possible.

    Yeah, lets all just give up and not support our favorite team while they deal with this!

    It's okay to be upset and disappointed that the season isn't going to end well and I get if you need a game or two break but fuck anyone who stops following the team this year because of this. The players have to play tomorrow without both Nurk and CJ. These guys need and deserve our support.

    Not sure what Stotts will do. I would love to see him think long term and play Zack, Skal, Trent and Simons. But, Dame is a warrior, and will want to try and win every game this year. Terry will likely respect and support that, which likely means Ennis in the starter spot and the rooks on the bench. I can't blame him for supporting Dame if that's the way it plays out. In reality, there aren't that many more games left where it would make a big difference anyway.

    I was ready to not watch a single game the rest of the year, but when I think of Dame and his squad they've put in too much effort and heart for us to give up on them.

    I care. :bgrin:

    I will go down to the very last second rooting this team on. There is still lots of experience to be gained and fighting a tough battle can make us tougher in the long run. I will apply a Portland Timbers motto. No Pity jn the Rose City. We battle on to the end.

    We are Spartacus
