GAME THREAD: Round 1, Game 4 - Mavericks @ Blazers, 4.23.11, 2 PM

[KingSpeed]

Great story, Kingpeed.

Kevin Love was there?

Yes. 3 seats to the left of me. Emotionless. Always sitting.

 

[magnifier661]

Speed can you hook me up with 2 tickets? I can pay for them.

 

[KingSpeed]

Can I buy two tickets too? Please?!?!?!?! I am flying all the way from LAX

Best I can tell you is to go to Blazers.com, Telecharge.com, or Stubhub as soon as you can. Blazers Home Game #3. Let me know if you go.

 

[KingSpeed]

You know what, mag? I can try my contact. How much do you want to pay? Can probably get you center 5th row for $250 each. You can just as well find tix online though if you don't want to pay that much.

No worries!!!!! I got it! IM me if you can make it happen.

 

[TripTango]

Yes. 3 seats to the left of me. Emotionless. Always sitting.

I wonder if it's a professionalism kinda thing? I mean, how would we feel if one of our players was seen rooting for his hometown's NBA team back in one of our lottery years?

You missed the one of the best finishes in the history of basketball. Hope you learned your lesson. It ain't over till it's over.

Guys, that was the most amazing basketball game I've ever witnessed and I can't believe I was there to witness it fucking courtside. I was completely crying from the 4 point play to the end. Bawling. The crowd never ever gave up on the team. We cheered "Let's Go Blazers" and "Defense Defense" all game long.

What can I tell you? Kevin a love never stood up, never cheered for us, seemed entirely uninterested in the game the entire 4th quarter, at least when I looked at him. The last several minutes of the game, DeShawn Stevenson was slapping Roy's knee with his hand. Roy's 4th quarter was the most impressive individual playoff performance since LeBron's Game 5 vs Detroit in 2007. Roy didn't score as many points as LeBron but the circumstances- Roy being injured, team down 23- puts it on that level.

When Kidd shot the three that could've given them the lead, he was two feet in front of me. We hollered at our players all game. At one point we cheered on Rudy and he nodded at us. We told Roy we loved him during the 4th quarter cuz we know he loves the fan support.

It was amazing. I immediately called my contact and bought the exact same seats for Game 6. I hope that game ends the series in our favor.

GO BLAZERS

Your post brought tears to my eyes, Eric. I wish I could have been there with you guys. If there is an extra ticket for Game 6, I'll pay full price plus interest for it.

WoW B.Roy!!! <Bows Down>

Too happy for B.Roy! Really good dude and unstoppable when he's feeling good...he deserves the spotlight, true LEADER!

 

[BBert]

I was there. Roy made me cry manly tears of joy. Thank you, Blazers... especially you, Brandon. I apologize for having been so hard on you earlier. I'm glad you've been able to put two fantastic games together. Thanks for picking up the team on your shoulders and saying "How about we win this one?"

Actually, I'm glad some people have been so hard on Brandon. He has deserved every bit of it, just has he has deserved praise when he has earned that. Call it tough love. I do think he is maturing, as evidenced by his post game comments where he seemed to sincerely praise his teammates for the their roles in the come back. Good job Brandon.

Eric, I'll pay $300 for that ticket. Mags will buy the other!

 

[magnifier661]

Hey King... Make sure you notch another win on your thread!

I find it kind of dumb that Love would be there taking up the spot of a Blazer fan. His team sucked, yet he goes to a game in a great seat to be seen?

Then again, I'm not a Love fan, so my view is obviously biased.

I can check with Lanny and get his tickets. He has 2 pairs, center court 9 rows up from the court and 10 row up from the court.

PM me with credit card info or do you want to pay cash?

That's a good point. If you're going to go at all, go to cheer. Case closed.

Cash. PM me the cost of your tickets so I can run it by my wife.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Sorry MM, I went over to my parents house to watch the rest of the game with my dad.

And for anyone else there is no way I'm going to read thru all of these threads and clean up insults. Instead of complaining about what a shitty mod I am (which I will be the first to agree with you) please just pm me with the offending post and I will immediately fix it.

What if we don't really care that ignorant, less educated people insult us? Instead we just like to point out the complete double standard that exists in the forum.....To bo fault of your outstanding mod doings

 

[TripTango]

Still buzzing like a mofo. Not even the silly forum in-fighting can stop this Blazer-win high, FAMS!

 

[mgb]

What a fucking game! Just wish I was there instead of laying in this hospital bed. At least I made a lot off of the tickets, but would have so much rather been there.

With a couple mins left in the game a couple people came in wanting to do some rehab and I said I'm not doing anything until this game is finish! By the end of the game there were five other people in here watching while most of the game I was watching it alone.

Sometimes when the Blazers are behind in a game I like to turn the sound off and watch it with no sound for luck. So I'm the reason the Blazers won! Funny, no one watching the game at the end commented on the sound being off.

I understand that you feel that I have some secret double standard in how I moderate this forum. All I can tell you is that I honestly don't. Sometimes I miss this things. It's hard to read every post on here. What's odd is that I've always enjoyed and respected your posts. Seriously we can discuss it here in the open or in PMs but if you think that I'm playing favorites or trying to make this forum less enjoyable for you lets talk.

Get well, Michael! I'm sure this game lifted your spirits and health!

Most incredible win in my memory as a Blazer fan, and you're whining to the mods.

Sucks to be wrong, eh?

Anybody whining after this game should be banned, IMO.

He's not whining. If he doesn't like the way I mod he has the right to say it.

LOL! You're not helping.

 

[roywonder07]

Does anybody know where I can find the postgame interview by the TNT reporter? I missed that part and would love to see it. Not the interview in the postgame room but the one that took place immediately after the game.

[THE HCP]

About to start reading this thread. I know how bad some on here get when the team is playing like shit! Fire Nate, trade Brandon, BLAH BLAH BLAH! I wonder if any of you on here wish they could take back fair weathered fan rants? Let's go take a look.

 

[Sinobas]

I think Blazer fans will treat winning this playoff series like winning a championship. And maybe we should, this is really the most we can expect from this team. But who knows....I think we can give any team a run for their money.

 

[THE HCP]

I turned off the TV 10 minutes ago. I'm going out to eat.

If Paul Allen won't fire this crappy coach, I will slowly lose enthusiasm for this team.

Awesome
