I guarantee we'll win at least one in New Orleans and bring the series back to Portland

[KingSpeed]

Since everyone's starting threads, I thought I would too. I fly to New Orleans Thursday morning wearing my Aminu jersey. I'm going to make sure we get at least one win there and get the series back to Portland. This series ain't over. We'll get better as the series goes on. We're a +10 with Harkless on the floor and he's back now. New Orleans isn't great at home. Dame scored 41 last time we played there. I guarantee a win. Go Blazers.

 

[Portland2014]

Yeah let's get a W and maybe win the series so a year from now we are here complaining because Minnesota is kicking our ass in the 1st round and Lillard and Stotts can't do nothing to avoid it.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Why bother? Rather not waste my money on game five.

Okay. I'm taking names of people who don't believe.

Wasting your money. Its a clean sweep.

You do that. Why should we believe? Huh give us one damn good reason why? Blazers are trash

 

[Scalma]

Best fans in the nba lol.

I’m with you. It ain’t over til it’s over. One thing I’ve learned about this group is they’re resilient. Two games isn’t gonna change that.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Anyone who just sat through these two bullshit efforts at the Moda Center has every right to assume this series is over. This team has shown no fight.

Agreed....it's not over till it's over. The problem is, the Blazers haven't started yet.

 

[KingSpeed]

I can give you many.

1) Last time we were at NO, Dame scored 41 and we won.
2) Dame is awesome
3) We showed all season that we could win big games with our backs against the wall
4) We are not trash dude. We won 49 games!!
5) It's a loooooong series. 2-0 isn't 4-0.
6) New Orleans hasn't played particularly well at home.
7) It's the NBA Playoffs. Strange shit happens.
8) Dame is awesome.
9) Harkless was a +10 tonight and will likely play more as playoff series moves on
10) Dame and CJ believe.

They have fight, otherwise they wouldn't have clinched the 3rd spot, the problem is that they HAVE MEDIOCRE TALENT, and that's even worse.

 

[A$AP Meyers]

I also think we will win Game 3. I'm curious to see what Vegas will set the line at.

 

[TBpup]

We should win a game.....we are way overdue. The Blazers have lost something like 8 Playoff games in a row now so the odds are, you'll win one at some point.

Definitely. It's amazing how we rose from the ashes in Game 1 even though we ended up losing. New Orleans better be ready because we're gonna bring it. Davis has never won a playoff series and Rondo hasn't won a playoff series since like BonesJones was in high school.

New Orleans does not have more talent. This has been effort and coaching. Embarrassing.

Fuck, yeah!!

Pelicans are 3 point favorites Thursday

That's the kind of betting line the public will be all over

I like our chances

 

[EGame]

Isn't over until its over I agree. But it isnt a stretch to say that losing both home games so far is a huge dissapointment and shows just how far away we are from competing.

Alright man!

 

[Magoo]

All I can say is it's a long flight to New Orleans! It was not boxing out, not getting 50/50 balls.

I give game 3 a win. This game shouts adversity. They'll play with an edge Thursday night. I haven't seen them be hot all series. These are the games I love to watch! LETS GO BLAZERS!!

Amen, Magoo. I remember when we lost both home games against the Lakers to fall behind 1-3 in 2000 WCFs. We came back and forced a game 7 that we almost won. If this goes 7, it's on OUR COURT. We'll get better as the series goes on. Dame is a great leader. He will keep the team focused.

GET US THOSE WINS! I BELIEVE!

I guarantee one but I'll yell my ass off for two.

 

[Nikolokolus]

I'll bet they win game 4, but New Orleans is just a horrible match-up. Rondo and Holliday can guard either Damian or McCollum, and we don't have anybody who can reasonably match up with Davis. New Orleans in 6 is probably how this goes, but there's always a slim chance things could turn around with an injury or some fluky shots going in.

Everybody is a horrible match up when you are mediocre, good match ups are in the lottery.

If there's a remedy for E.D., I know there can be a remedy for these Negative Nancy's. It's called a Blazers win on Thurday. Go Blazers!!

Jesus Christ Eric! This fucking night has been bad enough, and then you go and reference THAT FUCKING GAME OF WHICH WE ARE NEVER SUPPOSED TO SPEAK! Stop it!

Not saying Portland can't win in NO but a few things about that last game.

1) Rondo didn't play in that game. Even if he would have, he only played 15-20 minutes/game during the regular season. They were saving him for this.
2) Mirotic only played 20 minutes off the bench
3) Lillard scored 41 but needed 33 shots. Blazers still barely won by 4.
4) Pelicans were the hottest team in the west coming into the playoffs winging 5 straight. Including beating the Warriors in Oakland just 10 days ago. It's a good squad even without Cousins.

 

[bodyman5000 and 1]

I guarantee they get swept and lose all but their last summer league game.

Don't feel like you have to interact with KingSpeed. We know we're fucked.
