    In the past, I'd probably feel pretty depressed that we lost. I wouldn't want to think about basketball or read the forum for a couple weeks.

    This time I'm excited. I didn't expect us to make it this far, and I'm looking forward to the offseason because I'm anxious to see what Neil does with our cap space.

    I can't wait until next season!

    I am completely amped up too. It's crazy because I honestly have faith in this franchise top to bottom. It's almost unfair though because I think we are going to have ridiculous expectations for NO this summer to deliver, and it might be beyond his control.

    Same here.

    This playoff run is exactly why you don't tank. I guarantee you this team takes more away from these 4th quarter losses in the playoffs than any #10 pick could have added.

    I want to watch the blazers beat up on fools in a consolation tourney!

    I want a Hard Knocks show that follows Dame and the team during the offseason.

    I need more Waterlito!

    If we had zero cap space I'd be worried. This feels like the strongest position the Blazers have been in going into a summer, even without a draft pick.

    I think @BlazerCaravan nailed it in another thread when he compared it to the end of Rocky. Can't wait for Rocky II!

    Make you wonder, how much of a guy like Draymond's act is to get into both the opponents and ref's head.

    Could just be PR.

    Then again, he never remotely said anything similar about the Rockets.

    Yeah, I think Green's act is just a game he plays. I think that's a big reason he doesn't get a ton of technicals or ejections...he stays under control. He may be demonstrative, but he probably doesn't say anything stupid to the referees .

    Pretty sure he was top 5 in Techs this year (maybe only 2nd to boogie). Has 4 in the playoffs, 7 gets you a suspension.

    I think its a mixture of both.
