Game 3 Thread FAMS!

[THE HCP]

Will we have a letdown or blow these suckas out at the jam packed MC?

 

[PDXFonz]

Tickets are officially sold out! Moda center gonna be feeling like a room without a roof, cause we're happy!

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

I see Harden leaving all of his balls on the table and going hard. Everything to lose, he needs to make a statement to quiet all the criticism. Blazers need to start attacking early and often, get the crowd involved and hopefully build a big lead (that they won't blow).

Where are the 4 pictures?

[H.C.]

Hopefully we can find a way to attack hardin in the paint with Wesley. Run hardin off screens and such. Matthews/Batum will have to shoulder more of the scoring/playmaking load this game I think.
Going to end up Quadra-teaming Aldridge.

This series is not yet over. Winning game 3 will be a massive blow tho

Game One knocked them off balance. Game Two knocked them on their ass.

A Game Three win would put them on life support. I don't see how they could recover.

HCP, what are you doing making a game thread?!

THEY ARE PLAYING IN MEMORIAL COLISEUM?????

I think that Batum needs to step it up more.

Game 2 -- 3/11 6pts 6as 4reb 0blk 1stl \\ vs Parsons 5/15 15pts 2as 7reb 0blk 1stl

Game 1 -- 6/10 14pts 3as 9reb 1blk 2stl \\ vs Parsons 10/21 24pts 1 as 1reb 1stl

Parson's I think is still getting the better of the matchup, at least stat-wise. So his "Best SF in the series" comment still applies..

So it would be good if Batum could continue to keep Parsons in check, but boost his own production. Specially if Lillard/Mathews have a 30% or less shooting night.

No we will not have a let down. The league is going to lose a lot of money if the refs don't find a way to prevent the sweep, but the Blazers are laser beam focused on the job at hand. No let down. And you now it, FAMS!

HCP, what are you doing making a game thread?!

Don't worry. It's just the official interim draft pre-game game thread. Nothing serious.

This "head-to-head" matchup (as much as there is such a thing) does not concern me. Batum doesn't have to outplay Parsons. The Blazers have to outplay the Rockets. And Batum is helping us do that.

How great would just one playoff game be in the Glass Palace?

Some of the very best memories of my life occurred in that building. And for the record, the MC's 12,666 (or 12,888 depending on the seating configuration) was always louder than the 20-22K Rose Garden.

This isn't the OFFICIAL thread FAMS! Just a placeholder tip DarkWing Duck gets the real one going.....

Do we get T-shirts?

What color will they be?

Do I have to wear it?

This is when they will release the ROLO wigs!

 

[BBert]

OK, somebody sell me a ticket to the game, dammit!!

And no gouging. I have a family to feed.

Now that would be a different twist to this t-shirt craze going on in the playoffs this year. But I see a lot of the woman passing on wearing the fro.

I hope Blazers do something, but the T-shirt thing is already getting old. Besides what color do the Blazers do? Not red! I'm hoping for Black

Ticket prices on Craigslist are fucking insane.

My couch is just fine, thanks.

 

[The_Lillard_King]

Got a pair of tickets for game 6 . . . sell them for what I paid for them . . . $600

WTF?!?!?!?!?!

Peeps are getting the MC ready for the big game!

 

[illmatic99]

No Tshirts on the seats yet.

Good. Buck the trend.

Can't frickin' wait for tomorrow night. The place will be rocking.

I'm thinking of flying out for tomorrow with my boy and actually using our seats. The wife isn't thrilled at the prospect, however.

 

[THE HCP]

We are about 45 min outside of Portland as I type. Can't wait to get back and feel the RipCity buzz going on!

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Per Espn: Harden has never been this bad. He has missed 33 shots in his past two games, the most he has ever missed in a two-game span in his career.
