    I really hope we make it at competitive series. I obviously won't be disappointed in the season no matter the outcome but getti swept or close to that would be a bit of a bummer at the end.

    Winning it could be dangerous though, as I might die.

    This sounds as if I've lost my mind, but I truly think we match up better with GS than we did with Denver. And there are all these compelling subplots... AND the expectations are actually nil.

    Dame will be home, Seth playing his brother, Meyers might get to re-injure Boogie if he returns (not condoning this, just sayin), the whole Dame is Steph-lite bs, the history (aren't we 1-8 against GS the last couple playoff meetings?), CJ and Jennifer, etc etc etc.

    Moe/Chief are much better equipped for this series, as well. I don't know...I've forever given up on giving up on this team. GO BLAZERS!!!

    I said the same earlier yesterday. We matchup better against the KD/Boogie-less Warriors than a fully healthy Nugs team. But they also have a LOT more guard talent. They don't have anyone that can take out Dame-- he has figured Klay out, and for some reason, they have historically been too prideful to throw double teams at him. I have a feeling Dame gets free a lot more in this series.

    This assumes that Durant and Cousins are out and I think that's wrong.

    Ditto, although I think it would really help our chances if the Curry bros. got confused and switched locker rooms.

    You know what though. Seth matches well when playing against the Warriors. I'm betting he has a good series.
    We all know when Seth scores well the Blazers are very tough to beat.

    I really don't like Seth. But I agree that he could be a huge x-factor this series.
