    IMO a huge factor is going to be the crowd. Last year the Pelicans came out, punched us in the mouth, and the crowd was shocked and created nothing but nervous energy for the rest of the game. Our home court “advantage” was practically a disadvantage.

    There needs to be energy and noise far before the game starts and it needs to feel like the 4th quarter at opening tip off. If that happens I have no doubt we win the series. If the crowd pouts, moans, and sits on their hands like they did last year then this team could be a problem.

    Remember 100-level blazer fans: It’s ok to stand up at a sports game and even cheer. Don’t let a bunch of evangelicals from Oklahoma be more rowdy than you...

    We need this win to maintain HCA and to put that belief in our players that they can win in the playoffs. Last year's sweep is still a big monkey on their backs. Lets get it done. GO BLAZERS!!!!

    Lets go Blazers. Sadly wont get to see the game today, but I know they can do it. Just gotta work hard and believe. Dame and Co. arent going down without a fight and it wont hurt if westbrick tries to keep taking jumpshots.

    Such a nervous wreck I am tempted to just watch Law & Order episodes and check the score when it's over. But I won't.

    SF Chronicle sportswriter gave all Oakland team: Bill Russell, Jim Pollard, Don Lofgren, Jason Kidd, Gary Payton, Dame, Paul Westphall, Brian Shaw, Isaiah Rider, Greg Foster, Antonio Davis.

    That team would win a few....

    Like we say in Oaktown, just win baby!

    Is that where you sit, @KingSpeed? Behind the visitor's bench? I'm just a little up and center from you!

    Imagine trying to drive from the coast! My wife is like "slow down" "too close” “what's your hurry" etc. I'm thinking: fucking Blazers, of course, but I'm just like "okay"...

    Turner was on court practicing threes. Is that a good or bad thing?
