    Bah. We just quit doing the things that got us the lead and made so many boneheaded plays.

    He'd be a good 4 if we landed one of those guys, his passing is Joakim Noah level and if he can just learn how to shoot 12-15 foot jumpers...

    Kerr praising Festus Ezili; that's how you know your team isn't good enough to compete.

    Lol, my bad. I should've said "I didn't expect our team to fall apart."

    They refuse to call fouls on him. He jumps into their chest to stall their momentum and then slaps at their arms. Or flops and we get called for a charge.

    That's what I was saying about the Clipper series. Plumlee was wracking up assists because of the Clippers strategy. But offensively, he's like Joel Pryzbilla with passing ability, and he's no where near the defender Joel was.

    The NBA has been fixing playoff games since the 80's.

    There have been several legitimate demands for an FBI racketeering investigation. They have too much money behind them for that to ever happen.

    It is why I refuse to watch any game not involving the Blazers.

    Aside from baseball America has no legitimate major sports leagues

    They just flipped the switch - and bang.

    The playground bullies let the nerdy kid toss a couple of punches - then they got bored and stomped him flat.

    That was actually worse than a whistle -to-whistle thrashing.

    meh......we've been here before. Golden State is pretty good so I think they'll go all the way to game 7 before we beat them.

    Plumlee is far too limited offensively to be a crunch time player for a contender. He's always caught in the air and makes a panic pass that gets tipped. He's a liability in situations where he's left open at the top of the key and the defense is blaketing all the other players.

    I'm sorry, but you're insane if you think Meyers is any kind of starting caliber in this league. He'd get murdered against this team.

    Our coach is great at adjustments and our team learns from losses.

    Longest game thread ever.

    It is so obvious it isn't even funny. I have never understood any coach who does stupid shit like that. Do they not realize that playoff timeouts are like 75 minutes long? I worked 11 hours today with barely a break. I think Damian could have kept going.

    I'm impressed by the post game Analysis; they really wanted Portland to win. Their analysis is about the little things experience will bring.

    Plumlee goes straight up on defense, Green plows into him, foul Plumlee. 30 seconds later, Plumlee goes up on offense, Green plows into him, no call.

    He was sensational in the first round and our only player with a 20+ PER. Don't bash Plumlee because of one quarter.

    Examples if great Stotts' adjustments in the last month? Totally serious on this too.
