Um no. Up and down the roster, we are the better team. Have you not paid attention to how we play after time to rest and prepare. Not only do I predict a sweep but I predict us to win Game 1 by 20+. This is not me being a homer. This is basic basketball knowledge.

And so i assume that if that does not happen after plenty of rest you will come on here and apologize to all of us that also have quite a bit of "Basic Basketball Knowledge" that seem to think that maybe the Clippers have a chance and they might also benefit from rest and they simply have more talent right?
This is the only problem i have with your posts. I just love the fact that you have such confidence and are a Blazer fan through and through, but then to act like none of us have a fucking clue is what makes you lose all credibility.
If the Blazers go down there and win the first game by 20 i will be the first one on here screaming that KS was right. Then if they sweep the Clippers i will search you out and personally be willing to buy you a ticket to the very next game they play (122 section right behind the Blazer bench). But if they don't i wonder if we will hear excuses or if we will all get at least a "I was wrong" statement?
Take that as my word! If the Blazers sweep the Clippers i will buy Kingspeed a ticket to the first home game of the next series vs i assume will be the Warriors.

Warriors in 7

The Rockets do have talent. If Bickerstaff has Brewer quard Curry and Ariza guard Klay with Harden guarding Barnes or Iggy in the starting lineup and that team manages to get out of their own way the Rockets could give the Warriors serious problems and dare I say pull off a massive upset.

Thunder in 6

The Mavericks have Dirk who always has the potential to take over any game but the Thunder have Westbrook and Durant so unless Dirk can get help from Williams, Matthews or Barea I don't see an upset.

Spurs in 4

The Grizzlies are a patch-stitch work team and the Spurs are just too efficient to my chagrin.

Blazers in 6

Have Harkless guard CP3 so his length can give Paul problems. Push the ball up the court every play, make or miss, like the Blazers did when they blew out the Warriors. Give Kaman and Roberts a few minutes in the series.

With the constant bitching, moaning, complaining and whining the referees are going to have to hear and endure from that team and Rivers, it wears them down and a few technical fouls are thrown their way.

Pistons in 6

Lebron is Lebron but I don't think Love is a winner and Smith is going to shoot the Cavs out of a few games in this series. This series is when Jackson, Drummond, Morris and Harris put the league on notice.

Bye Lebron.

Raptors in 5

Derozan and Lowery will be too much for the Pacers to handle and George will need help to pull off the upset which he wont receive.

Celtics in 5

Bradley is the best on the ball defenders in the league and will neutralize either Teaque or Schroder, whoever starts for the Hawks. Celtics defense as a team will wear down the Hawks offensive efficiency moving the Celtics to round two.

Hornets in 6

Kemba will go HAM against the Heat and along with Lin, Jefferson, Batum, Williams and Kaminsky making significant contributions will be too much for Wade and the Heat to overcome.

What are yours?

"Blazers in 4" LOL

You do have style!



(P.S. Anyone who's been a Blazers fan for any length of time knows that under no circumstances, no matter how the teams play, the NBA and it's game moderators (aka refs) will never, never, never let that happen.)

David Locke (jazz announcer) says PDX is the 3rd best offensive rebounding team, and the Clips are one of the worst defensive rebounding teams. So, he thinks we'll have to dominate the offensive glass to win.

check about 13 minutes in, or listen to the whole thing - he's always worth a listen.

538.com gives us 29% chance to win the series. Personally, I think it's more like 40%.

Harkless and Aminu need to crash hard. We should always have are 3, 4, and 5 man crashing with one guard one guard denying the outlet pass to CP3. CP3 is the only ball handler and Rivers/Crawford aren't great at pushing the ball, reducing the risk of getting beaten back.

 

[Denny Crane]

2x whatever @HCP says.

 

[Orion Bailey]

Sold! we can figure out payment when we know who has to pay who.

Are you in Portland metro?

So taking the bet I offered up on Page 1 should be no problem.

 

[Strenuus]

haha right?

And of course i have not heard back either.

 

[kjironman1]

haha right?

Heck i offered a section 122 ticket and still no answer.

 

[Strenuus]

Heck i offered a section 122 ticket and still no answer.

Wait, a section 122 ticket for if someone does say that the Blazers sweep and they DO? Damn, that's a sweet deal.

That said, there's a .00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001% chance of that happening. (us sweeping them)

I didn't say the bet was a sure thing...LOL! But the only cost to him would be to say he was wrong and that some people on here actually do have some basketball knowledge.
