    I think the team slogan for the WCF's should be :" Ball for Paul"

    I totally agree. That dude was hitting some unconscious shots in this series. Seemed to play without fear.

    I really appreciate that the Blazers stayed on the court and shook hands with the Nuggets players.
    That was a very hard fought series. Nuggets deserve some respect.

    Total gahbidge. Was he complaining everytime Enes or Dame got "mauled"? Insert Justin Timberlake, "Cry Me a River". Look at the FT's awarded.

    Seriously, he and harkless probably the most useless forwards off all Playoff teams. We would be a Contender with an Upgrade on both positions

    Harkless had some good moments in the 4th. But yeah, the forward positions need some upgrades.

    He likes to run his mouth and in my opinion hasn't earned it.

    The Blazers, with a healthy Nurk, will be "contending" for years to come. Suck It! National Media.

    I'm just not a fan of Aminu and harkless after this series. I really hope Neil is able to make an Upgrade this Summer

    well, figuratively-digitally, all of here like to run our mouths and we didn't have to earn it either

    I just checked and the Blazers plane has changed its scheduled destination from PDX to SFO.

    I'm sure they packed in prep for this potential situation. Warm up the Trolleys, "ding ding".

    The one obvious factual thing is "The players like playing for him" so when we hear guys like Kanter and Hood talk about how different it is and everyone gets long very well, thats the synergy thats hard to measure.
