    Cheers to this Blazer team who showed more heart than any other Blazer team I can think of. A wonderful and frustrating season and one I hope I won't have to live through again.

    I can't wait until November!

    I would like to thank Raef LaFrentz... without him, we would not have Andre Miller.

    I would like to thank The Free Throw Guy. Without him, I wouldn't be laughing as much while watching the game.

    Thank you.

    I'm gonna remember this year for quite a while.

    Defining moment was Roy's entry in Game 4.

    I have to say, this season has given me some great emotional highs that make up for the down parts.

    This was truly an inspired season. Every time I would get my heart ripped out (Greg's knee, Joel's knee, ect) this squad would come up with a gutty performance that would re-ignite my rabid fandom. Coming into this season I was probably more excited about this Blazers team than I have been in a very long time. My hope for next season is that the team won't face such adversity.

    Loved the addition of Miller and Camby. The continued growth of Nic Batum is very exciting. Plenty of good things to take from this year.

    The team showed a lot of heart this season....

    If we only have half as many bad things happen to us next year....watch out.

    Yep.. I was glad to be a part of the final cheers for the team in the waning seconds of the game, and the chants of "Let's Go Blazers". It was heartbreaking to go out like that, but this team showed more than I could possibly imagine with everything that happened.

    Thanks Blazers!

    It's tough to be a sports fan in Oregon. For fucks sake I'm not even asking for any lucky breaks, I just wish a season could go by without something REALLY bad happening. (I'm a Ducks/Blazers)

    thank you, brandon.

    it hurt me to see roy in such a vulnerable state tonight and in this playoffs. when he was rim checked in that third quarter on that open layup attempt, i had to look away, because i could not tolerate the thought of seeing our superman struggle so much. not many superstars will let the public see that kind of weakness, but roy toughened up and proved to all the world that his sole reason for playing is to win. huge props to brandon for making that sacrifice and showing tremendous heart in this series. so inspirational.

    i am hoping so much that we are healthy in the playoffs next year, because roy needs to be recognized more by the general nba fans.

    A year I hope I don't have to witness again in terms of injury, but a year that brought many moments of joy and a true sense of "these guys really do care about winning".

    Thanks Blazers, and I'll be back for the draft at the latest, depending on major news prior to then.

    Enjoy the playoffs everyone, and play nice!

    Thank you for the terrific season. 52 times, you gave us "the biggest win of the season", each bigger than the last, it seemed. Even though the lows in this season were pretty dang low, the team never lost poise, and the fellowship never broke. It was tough, but highly rewarding. Everyone has been a hero for a game. There's some pretty high highlights to look back on, just like last season. Onle these will be sharper, knowing the pain the team was going through at the time.

    GO BLAZERS!
