I dont know why, but last year i was a lot more nervous than this year. Maybe because this season has been so strange, or maybe we are the 8th seed and we actually have nothing to lose. It's been a long time since i was so relaxed before the Playoffs

 

[AldoTrapani]

Let’s go blazers! Although I personally believe we have a very underwhelming bubble experience. It’s been taking historical dame lillard performances to even beat B squad teams I’m happy to get a chance to beat the lakers. Still got the lakers making quick work with us by sweeping us but I hope we atleast work hard out there

 

[blazerkor]

Fuck I thought he was out for the series. At least he won't play tonight

At least was supposed to be out 1-2 more weeks

Yeah, if he is part of doubling Dame after tonight that will be a more effective double however if they want to try and let Rondo cover Dame on his own, this is great news because Dame will torch him.

Yea me too. I’m relaxed as hell because I really believe lakers will demolish us fairly easily

I'm the exact same. I should be a bit more tense but I'm not. I'm chillin'...

 

[DDolla]

I'm a nervous wreck and the game hasn't started yet.

Nah, no home court so I like our chances

 

[wizenheimer]

where I'm at:

my realistic half thinks the Blazers will probably win just 1 game

my homer half thinks fuck the lakers and Blazers win tonight

my homer half gains momentum as game-time gets closer. But lately, that homer half has taken big hits in the 3rd Q

 

[DDolla]

Barkley calling out Zach... c’mon man, this is the playoffs

 

[Sedatedfork]

Charles Barkley is crazy

 

[blazerkor]

With our defense, watch the Lakers tonight. They won’t miss a shot from 3’s.

Their not good from three, they were 23rd in the league in threes made. They are also 21st in the league in three point percentage.

Blazers have been winning despite those 3rd quarters

 

[Dom McBlazer]

Can't wait for the 3rd Q!

 

[bobf]

GOOOOO BLAZERS!!!!!!!!

 

[Chris Craig]

Starting Wenyen

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Barkley says if we win tonight we sweep

 

[Chris Craig]

LET'S GET THIS!!!

 

[bobf]

Cmon Dame

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Lets go Blazers!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Dom McBlazer]

Their not good from three, they were 23rd in the league in threes made. They are also 21st in the league in three point percentage.

Watch them become the best three-point team.

 

[Sedatedfork]

Who had Gabriel for first 2 points of the game?

 

[Dom McBlazer]

Barely touched him.

 

[Sedatedfork]

Barely touched him.

True, but they are mostly letting them play.

 

[bobf]

Gabriel looks fierce just don’t foul!

 

[Natebishop3]

And we have bullshit foul call number one. That wasn’t a foul.

 

[Chris Craig]

How is that and 1...the whistle came long before the shot

 

[Natebishop3]

Meanwhile they hit Melo on his follow through and it’s not a foul.

 

[AldoTrapani]

So what does Collins do exactly better than Gaberial?

 

[VenomXL]

Holy shit. The Lakers can’t shoot so far.

 

[Dom McBlazer]

Solid start, gentlemen.

 

[AldoTrapani]

God I love Gaberial. I have no idea why he doesn’t get more burn
