    Covers is still saying Danny Crawford. Interesting.

    I do not have a problem with Joey Crawford calling it. I could see him getting pissed at D12 and Harden if they cry too loudly over not getting calls.

    Also, another 40+ point from LMA would just be awesome. But whatever it takes to get the W is all that really matters.

    From what I've heard, they are showing the intros on KGW as well. That makes me excited since I can't be there!

    This is true. If anyone tries to "show up" Crawford he will make them pay. If we ignore the calls and play like last game, and let the Rockettes get emo, this could work in our favor.

    Thanks, I feel better. :)

    When I looked on stub hub, the worst seats in the house were $135.

    Did you not hear the fans in Houston? They practically chanted "Ref you suck" the whole two games!

    While the NBA refs deserve a lot of the shit pointed their direction from the fans, the players, the coaches, and the managements... man, they have a shitty job. No matter what call they make (or don't make), a section of rabid people are going to scream and holler and demand their heads on a platter for any perceived slight. The game moves so fast and there's so much to pay attention to that missed/blown calls are going to happen. It's part of the game. Teams that win are the teams that don't care about the refs. They take care of business regardless.

    I don't remember a Portland crowd doing that in any home game in recent memory.

    I hope it doesn't start tonight for a multitude of reasons.

    I'm hoping for a game that's more like tight and entertaining for the first 25%, then all-Blazers for the remaining 75%, with a 20-point Blazers victory. My heart can't take the level of stress it endured for Games 1 and 2.

    I hope our crowd follows our team's lead and stays classy through the bad calls. Sure, boo the hell out of BAD calls but not EVERY call. And hopefully no "you suck" chants - as true as it might be.

    I dunno... but it's in the 300 level... I can't stand for too long up there without feeling like I'm going to fall... so no bueno for me.

    A TV, couch, and good food will do just fine.

    So I'm guessing people can't bring in foldable lawn chairs and plop them down on the corridors?

    This sounds crazy (and awesome) to me, tbh. Standing room only for a bball game. I wonder if other cities have this.

    Pretty sure it is in the back of 300. But it gets you in the arena
