    It was, but it got to count towards real stats and totals, and the win counts! I'm glad Pop let us have it; he knew we deserved it more.

    unfortunately my daughter was a little under the weather for her first Blazer game so I spent most of hte second half in the hallway watching the game from a screen. I figured there would be a ton of empty seats with the fact we clinched playoff spots and CJ/Lillard/Crabbe were all sitting but there weren't as many empty seats as I imagined their would be. Also the crowd who I assumed would much quieter as well erupted in the second half, the noise was deafening and as loud as any Playoff game i'v been to. Thats one of the things I love about our city and the Blazers, we will still get up and cheer our heads off even when its the backups playing the whole game.

    Sorry your daughter wasn't feeling well, but glad she, and you, got to experience a little bit of Blazermania!

    It seems you play the lotto quite a bit. To beat them without our core players is sweeter.

    Random Spurs Board Posts.....

    This third quarter is maybe making me feel a little better about the Spurs chances against the Blazers’ bench in a seven-game series.

    Man I miss the Spurs announcing team. Bill and Sean are soooo much better than Portland guys. So lame ………. (watching on league pass)


    Before we inbound on the last play...

    ANYONE…except napier taking this is a win


    Game over....

    -Wow………..just…….wow

    -pooptastic

    -well that was special

    -Trade everybody!

    That last one sounds like this place..... Lol

    I love it!! By the way, guys, that was a direct pass to Vonleh around the Spurs player at the end. It didn't randomly find its way off Leonard to Vonleh. Watch it again. Great play by Napier.

    I would sure have liked to face the Spurs in the 1st round rather than the Warriors. Just a few points away...

    This highlight video confirms what I suspected: despite the Blazers winning the tip, the refs gave the Spurs the ball to begin the 4th quarter.

    The comment about their announcers is the only thing that made me laugh. Not that Kevin and Lamar are great, but my god, Sean Elliott is Clyde Drexler level bad.

    The refs assumed the Spurs won the tap because my god they're the Spurs, and nobody argued with them because the game wasn't exactly intense.

    Hahahahaha - oh man, I'm still laughing from last night! That was a fun - and funny - game to watch! Total garbage, but oh so much fun to beat the Spurs without 5 of our best players.
