That's all I want. Just win round 1. The rest is gravy.

Um what’s so good about winning round 1? Another season that ends with losing? No thank you. This team has talent to go far. Losing in second round would be disappointment to me.

 

[DDolla]

Don’t care if it is ugly Just Win Baby!

I mean, unless injuries happen to other teams and Stotts learns how to counter the trap on Dame....

I just want to have a feeling we won a playoff game. Winning 16? I love the thought, but unless Stotts learns to combat the trap, I'll take winning a series.

Hardly anyone in the stand wearing the t shirt. Lame.

 

[Strenuus]

HCP playing Limp Bizkit... something is wrong.

Not falling into deindividuation!

 

[EGame]

not even a minute in and im already bored of the refs

 

[Strenuus]

Posting up dame on the first play, alright.

 

[Strenuus]

Aminu has to go godlike in the playoffs...

That doesn't sit well with me.

 

[Strenuus]

Aminu why the fuck cant you be consistent?

 

[EGame]

layman has looked so bad recently

 

[Jade Falcon]

I want Jake to snap out of this fucking slump that he's in. Right goddamn NOW.

 

[James lamphear]

Another slow start from the first unit.

 

[KingSpeed]

Aminu consistently scores more and shoots better in playoffs.

 

[Strenuus]

Im not too worried about Jake.

Aminu can fuck right off though lol.

What happened to you? Ever since I got here youve been the most positive poster on here. Almost to the extent where it felt like you’d be happy about the Blazers no matter what. Last few days your posts have been so different. On a serious note, hope all is going well, and I hope we didnt break you.

 

[EGame]

how many wide open 3s are layman and aminu going to brick? Dame and Nurk are going to have to score a lot if they want to win

 

[KingSpeed]

Houston down 3 with 5 secs left

 

[Strenuus]

Dame gonna have to be MVP Dame.

I am being positive. I was responding to Strenuus’ low expectations. I want us to win more than round 1 and I think we can. Just yesterday on TV, I said we’re winning title this year.

 

[Cugel]

Jake needs some lobs, he needs to move w/o ball, needs a spark

Fair enough, just seems like your posts are so much more sobering. Anyways, go Blazers lets beat Dallas!

Why? Aminu shoots better than Jake.

Nah I’m very optimistic. Go Blazers indeed.

I love the positivity, I just don't see it without unforseen injuries to other teams and Stotts figuring out how to get Dame help off of the trap.

 

[B-Roy]

Super impressed by Dame's defense this season. He's not a negative anymore. Dare I say he's a positive on most nights?

 

[Jade Falcon]

Mount Hood comes in: immediate production.

And wow.....Dame is playing great defense!

 

[Strenuus]

Why? Aminu shoots better than Jake.

That's how low I think of Aminu on offense, I guess. lol. I love him on defense, though.

It's been this way for a while. But it's hard to shake people's previous perceptions.

Dame will help. We have way better roster this year. Kanter, Curry, and Hood all better than what we had last year. And Dame is better.
