just your honest opinion and I know we are all Die hard Blazers fans. Is series over? I said yes, Pels in 6 and I want to be so wrong and eat crow but I think it’s over.
Blazers in 7. We'll win one in New Orleans (hopefully 2) on this trip. Then we'll break through at home in Game 5. Then we'll win Game 6 and come home and crush them in Game 7. And everyone will talk about what a great series it was.
I give us maybe 10% at this point. Winning two out of three road games against Pelicans is a big task but if we can win the very next one and make sure that it comes back to Portland, we could gather back some momentum and maybe take it to game 7. I doubt this will happen though and I think it will end either 4-0 now or 4-2 later.
Very very very sadly, I suspect that you're right. However, my wife, who's a big fan of the Blazers assures me that we're going to win the series. Gotta love her for that.
94% of teams losing the first two games of a series end up losing the series. On the plus side, the Blazers are number one on this list of 0-2 comebacks (but of course, the championship team lost the first two on the road, not at home). https://uproxx.com/dimemag/the-top-5-0-2-comebacks-in-nba-playoff-history/ So, even though I'd love to put a positive spin on it, at this point I'd have to say we're...
And the 94% doesn’t even factor in the fact we lost two at home. Boston came back against Chicago last year but it was 1 seed against 8 seed and Rondo got injured before game 3.
Is that how you also felt when LMA put up two back to back 40 points against the Rockets and we are going home up 2-0?
It ain't over till one team wins 4 games. Sounds to me like you are quitting on this team. Shame on you.
