Folks, we're in the playoffs!!!

[julius]

Woo!

Maybe it wasn't Terry Porter that was the problem...

Anyone else love seeing the "X" next to Portland's name?

 

[ABM]

Heh. GMTA, dude.

 

[The Professional Fan]

'Bout time! Here's to the Blazers starting another 20+ year playoff appearance streak!

 

[Darkwebs]

Wahoooo! Finally!!

 

[Pinwheel1]

I still do not see the x on ESPN (and i have refreshed it 28 times lol)

Anyways congrats Blazers! I doubt this team would let up because of this. Hopefully it will relax them and they can play confindently. Like the playoff team they are.

Dang, I'm just a dollar short, a post late, and a thread in the wrong forum all day today.

Successful season. Now here's to hoping Portland aggressively pushes their contention time table and gets HCA/wins a round!

 

[SheedSoNasty]

YEAH BABY!

Is anyone else comfortable with saying that this season was a huge success regardless of what we do in the playoffs?

I have high hope for the postseason, but damn, what an improvement. Hats off to KP, Nate, and of course, the players. I love this team!

 

[dreamcloud]

Yes!!!

Absolutely! Anything that happens is gravy at this point.

 

[Natebishop3]

Big moment for these guys, I think. The monkey is off the back. Now we just need to get a good spot in the playoffs and play Blazer basketball!

 

[TradeNurkicNow]

Finally, Mixum's signature is officially irrelevant

 

[Brittany_Loves_LamarcusA]

Yaaaay!

The drought is over.

The worst stretch of Blazer basketball history is now completely done. Dead. Burned. Dumped in the deep ocean. Good riddance.

We are in. The "real" season awaits us. We are ahead of "schedule". Our core is young. Our role players are young. The rest of our roster is young.

I hope it is a long time before having to live through a 20 win team again. Or a mangagement group as nasty as the Vulcan/Patterson/Nash era. Man that was ugly.

 

[mgb]

Alright!!

Now we can set our sights higher!!

 

[MAS RipCity]

am I weird for not being pumped? I have had us in the playoffs since I heard Amare went out..it was inevitable we would make it. Now if we clinch HCA, then I'll be pumped.

 

[Bob Dobalina]

It's been a looooonggg time! Congrats to all my Blazer brethren!

 

[KingSpeed]

Yes motherfuckers!!!!! Motherfuckin Playoffs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GO BLAZERS!!!

 

[KingSpeed]

Same record as the FUCKING SPURS!!!!

I've had Portland in the playoffs ever since they started the season off so well. They were clearly a very good team, to me.

Still nice to get the official moment.

I agree... I would have been shocked and devastated if we failed to make the playoffs after Amare got hurt.

I don't be disappointed if we don't get HCA, but at this point I think that the only way I'll feel elated in the regular season is if we manage to procure it.

[Natebishop3]

Still a good moment guys.

 

[BlazerBeliever]

Congrats Blazers!!! This is the goal we wanted at the start of the season. Thanks to your hard work it was made a reality today. I hope we have a good showing now in the PLAYOFFS!!

 

[Masbee]

I just got this e-mail from the TrailBlazers:

TOGETHER WE MADE IT HAPPEN...

Playoffs Are Back, 2009.

Click here to be a part of it.

You see that. "We" made it happen. It's all us baby!

Ok. Maybe not. Maybe it was the coaches and management and mostly the players, but still, without us, where would they be?

 

[PapaG]

SOOOO happy!!!
