Article: The Trail Blazers Are Finally Having the Postseason They’ve Waited For

[Orion Bailey]

@PtldPlatypus has the best debate style in the forum.

Also, he's very respectful, respectable, and can convey his argument without being an ass.

Minstrel is really good too. So was BNM

 

[wizenheimer]

I see how that could be read that way. My apologies. It was intended to be 14 of 14, and I see that I failed to communicate that clearly.

"what we have here is failure to communicate..."

Im not joining this kiss-ass session! No WAY.

is the ass of a platypus above or below the flipper?

I wouldn't know, I haven't been the one kissing it!

Truth. While @Boob-No-More is probably my favorite poster, @PtldPlatypus has minimal snark.

While I appreciate it, BNM can be a lil snarky sometimes.

Giving someone credit where and when it is due isn't ass kissing.

Also, you could've "not joined" by not posting.

Now how are you ever going to earn that mod bias?

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

I dont know yet if this is the post season The Blazers and their fans have “waited for”, seems a bit premature for that, but considering the last few years its definitely nice to be a proton right now and not an electron.

Yep. He left the damn forum cause of me. I thought he had a bit of a meltdown really, but I still seriously miss his posts.

Find the spur and turn due south.

So you are an LMA lover huh?

Like LMA, the platypus spur drips poison.

I will say this:

It's certainly better than the last two years in the playoffs!

The Blazers should just do this every year.

Speaking of (perceived) mod bias, what happened to @Nurkalicious? Either he changed his name (again) or got banned as it isn't coming up when he is tagged. That didn't last long.

Edit: Weird it wouldn't let me tag him but when I posted it it came up as being tagged.

No clue. I saw his username has a strikethrough, so I assumed he got banned, but I have no clue.

I have some assumptions there...

Yeah last year I had a meltdown on par with my 2 year olds...

D, learn how to roll with a joke man, goddamn! You're better than this.

I'm going to wait until we win a 3rd game of this series to start getting excited about this postseason.

 

[joeBlazers]

I'm not excited (Yet). But I believe Dame and CJ have grown from their past failures.
I'm still very concerned CJ and Dame trying to do most of the work. I want to see a Rodney Hood, Seth, ET, Jack ... have some 20 points game and Dame/CJ have (even) more assists.
Kanter had a great game 1, Zach and Meyers did well last night.

I'm going to wait until we win a 3rd game of this series to start getting excited about this postseason.

 

[riverman]

Win a ring for Nurk...we CAN beat these teams if we keep focused and disciplined. Stay smart...let the drama stars meltdown..see RW I'll predict right now we get to the western conf finals...I feel we have that momentum right now. I'll also predict right now that more star free agents are going to consider the Blazers to be a top destination. Everybody who comes here gets better...Enes..Big Ed...Mo..Chief….players are going to wake up to Portland basketball with all the disgruntled situations around the big markets....I love that we haven't fired a coach in the Dame era

 

[KingSpeed]

It feels great to see Dame excel in playoffs. And it feels good to get to play a game as meaningful as Game 3 on Friday. We’re relevant again. It’s ok to be happy about this.

It feels good to see the media overnight start gushing love for Dame as if it's some shock across the NBA! Couple days ago they had us going fishing and swept

And now they are acting like we have already won the series. Too busy writing bad movie scripts to do any serious analysis. Just ignore the white noise.

Bro, you low-key called me an ass kisser...

A lot of truth is said in jest.

Sometimes the jokes that make you laugh aren't making others do the same. Jussayin’.

I've done the same with you before (made jokes thou didn't think we're funny)/

I didn't say it to make anyone else laugh. Idc. I said it for my own amusement.

Your jokes with me aren't as obvious as that. The first one I made earlier was more vague. This one should've been obvious.

I'll make sure to write a big "JK" under every post.

 

[Orion Bailey]

If the blazers lose this series we should blame this author!!!!

I think Bones was being tongue in cheek. Not all attempts at being funny are successful.

Yep. All we have done is hold home court in the series now go win one on theirs. I do believe that if we win tomorrow, OKC will fold like a bunch of lawn chairs, ESPECIALLY your 'beloved' Russell Westbrook.

You can damn sure say that again!
