Though he's not 100% healthy, Lillard says he plans to play this game. Should Dame play?

We looked much much better with Mo and Ed. We looked like a third seed with an outside chance of winning championship. Did you say this stuff during the win streak? Seems to me you're overreacting and kicking them while they're down.

Exactly.

Whichever one you pick. We all agreed to let you win every argument tonight.

I kinda think this should be Stotts "Van Gundy or Gentry game". Rip the refs. But I doubt he does, and hopefully those refs appreciate it, cause they sucked.

Lets just say i never said they ever had an outside chance to win a championship. That is kind of crazy talk right there. But i had thought for a bit they were a solid second round team. Now that it is looking like Spurs in the first round i just don't know about that.
The last team in the conference we want to play in the first round is the Spurs IMO.

A 3 seed that wins 48-50 games always has a chance at title. As for our first round opponent, how is it likely the Spurs? The standings are going to get shuffled a lot in the next few days. That said, with HCA, I think we can beat the Spurs. They are horrible on the road. They got swept in L.A. When we get Ed and Mo back, we match up with them very favorably.

But does Dame give them the best chance at winning or does he not?

That isn't the point and it certainly isn't what i said.
Dame is hurt. Confirmed not only by reports but from an interview we all watched tonight. He should have rested. It showed in the way he played from what i watched. Then they lost anyway. IMO bad decision to even play him.

Totally disagree.
 
The Blazers face and have faced more adversity than any other team in the league. I still believe.

I wasn't saying you were saying that. I was asking you if you said all the NEGATIVE stuff while we looked like a third seed with outside chance. Did you come in with all this negative talk during the win streak? Or have you been saving it for now?

Well you are optimistic. That is for sure.
That is the San Antonio Spurs. Not the Jazz or Nuggets or Pelicans. There is a difference.

I understand you didn't say i said that. But you did say that. I was never that optimistic. Like i said yes my expectations are taking a hit. I felt they were a solid second round team. Now? Not so much.

I really don't know? Seems like they are kind a bottom half playoff team as it sits. If they win a series then that's great. But they are simply not a championship caliber team at this point. Second round will be as far as they can go. If they get to the WCF's i will come back and apologize for questioning them. But reality is setting in. Getting past the first round home court or not will be a big accomplishment.

I just wanted to point something out really quick. Someone got on to KJ for being negative, calling them a "bottom half playoff team", when earlier, in response to this:

DDolla said:
Blazers are a better team when healthy. With No Moe or Ed, Blazers are just average team

They said this:

KingSpeed said:
Agreed. Barely a playoff team without Ed.

So, "as it sits" is without ED and Mo... and KJ said they are a bottom half playoff team. Then the person who said "seems to me you're over-reacting" had said (before the game, 2:27 PM PST) something comparable (or even worse) about the same team.

Oops. I don't think that's quite fair.
 
Chief shot about 16% in this game...that hurts...gave them about 5 extra possessions which is about the margin of loss....Chief is not shooting well last couple games at all...Zach is slumping a bit last two as well...hopefully that rust shakes off by playoff time

Sorry man, this has been bugging me.......out of the thousands and thousands of people who post on here, you are the ONLY one who types ABOVE the quote you are replying to? Just curious. Is that your thing, trying to be different?
 
Tonight was EXACTLY the reason we don't want to play the Spurs. Can't believe some on here want to face them in the first round.
 
When I'm not watching, Blazers can't win. Sorry guys.

Yes, I didn't account for the refs cocksucking, but if it's gonna be the same in the playoffs then clearly we don't want to play the spurs
