    Of course not. I’m a land use planner by way of education, and my wife made sure I learned about all the other important zones.

    All Portland really has to do is take care of home court, but momentum is a bitch in the playoffs so ideally they steal at least one on the road. The pressure is on OKC though. They have to win both.

    If OKC wins game 3, I think both teams are going to be feeling a lot of pressure for game 4.

    After getting swept in the regular season, there's still a notion that these first two games weren't actually an indication of the relative calibers of the two teams. Being the underdogs going into the series, the Blazers will reclaim that status if they're tied after this weekend.

    They really need continue what they did in Portland. They held PG below 30 and really have kept Westbrook in check. But what the Blazers are really doing they making OkC work on both ends especially the last game. They making OKC shoot late in the shot clock a lot in the 2nd half last game so spending a lot energy to get open. Now Blazers also making them work on Defense too.

    The Vegas line for this game continues to perplex me.

    Let’s see if our team has that killer instinct. When you taste blood, finish it. This is where Superstars are made off, let’s go Dame...Win a playoff game on the road.

    Seriously? I grabbed it off the FB Blazers forum. Great work if you made it! I'm blasting everyone I know with it too. :)

    Why? OKC should be favorite in their home in a must win game against a team whose fans thought they would be swept by OKC before the series started. So far, we did what we should. Now it is their turn. I would be very happy if we get one of the two. The hope is that Portland has been really good at away games after All Star break. This could very well be a blowout win for either team (OKC win more likely) But, I expect the game to be close and that would actually help us as the mental load of a close game would take a toll on Westbrook and OKC.

    I just caught this.

    Holy shit. This is fucking bomb. How do they program the led wristbands like that? Serious props to the game ops people for coming up with something I haven't seen anywhere else.

    Not sure how, but I do know the guy who sits next to me at games figured out howto pop the back open and turn the lights on until the battery runs out. He texted me a pic of his 4 year old running around the house with it on and flashing.

    7.5 points is what I find confusing (as you say that you expect the game to be close; 7.5 isn't close by betting standards). Furthermore, we, as the 3 seed, were mere 3.5 and 1 point favorites in Games 1 and 2, respectively. See? Perplexing...

    Computers.
    But seriously though, if synchronizing 1,000s of things interests you you should check out the art of Cai Guo-Qiang. This isn't a very good video, but there's an excellent doc about him on NF.

    I haven't seen it in any other NBA arena. Looks so damn cool. I'd be mesmerized if were on the OKC bench looking at that.
