    What is this “we got who we wanted last year” talk? I don’t remember that at all. I wanted OKC or Utah. Pelicans were horrible matchup for us with Jrue as best player in NBA to guard Dame.

    If the Pistons choke and miss the playoffs, it most likely makes Blake Griffin very available this summer. So if you want that to happen it's better for them to miss the playoffs.

    Why do you have to argue literally every single thing I say?

    Most Blazer fans wanted the Pelicans. Just because you didn't doesn't mean the fanbase didn't get who they wanted.

    Im going to sound like Im arguing with you please dont take it that way.

    My dad and I about this time last year had a similar conversation (he’s no longer an NBA fan, but he kind of pays attention to espn tickers), he thought on paper the Pelicans were a good matchup. I wasnt so sure. I thought Holiday was a problem, I didnt think AD and Gentry would absolutely wreck us the way they did, and it floored me how bad Dame and Stotts looked in that series, I really didnt think it would be that bad.

    Anyways, I dont know what matchup I “wanted”, but I do know that I was somewhat worried going into it.

    I cant really speak for the whole fanbase, I dont know who the majority wanted.

    Bones doesn’t know who the majority wanted either.

    I remember most of the 'experts' thought Portland was the better team.
    Even Jaynes thought so and said so the night before game 1.
    Many people believed AD would be the best player on the court, but Portland was the more rounded team.
    So @BonesJones is right.

    I think most experts wouldve picked the Blazers over whoever the 6 seed ended up as last year. Not really disputing your point I suppose, but I think nationally people, “experts” included thought the Blazers would be much better in the playoffs than they were.
