Well this is bad, but who knows. I mean I can't believe how this has gone. Dame is a shell of himself. He even cut his hair so you know he's pressing. I still believe it's possible, though not likely, for a comeback. Got to get 1. The trolls are happy. They can suck it. If Nurk can't play, it's over. Nurk is the key. Without him, the Blazers struggle in the paint, on both ends. I'm not giving up. I hope the Blazers don't either. I know for a fact, Dame won't go out with a whimper. Go Blazers!!!

Dame will loosen up and make them pay. It's a long series. Last time we played I New Orleans, Dame scored 41. They don't play that great at home. We can do this.
 
G'nite. Be sure to put in a mouthpiece so you don't grind your teeth down to the nubbins in your sleep.

How? by making Holliday and Rondo lock up Damian, and making the Pels win all of the fifty-fifty balls? gimme a break.

Bad call after bad call all game
 
Then I get in my car to leave my brothers house just in time to hear the Mariners lose on a unassisted double play. WTF?!

I hate how much this physically hurts me. Our fanbase has been feeling this hurt for 40 years.

We don't deserve this.

Some broke ass franchise with no history, a pseudo fanbase, and sorry ass city is kicking our ass.
 
Last year, Celtics lost first two games at home and then won 4 straight to win the series.
 
I’m ready for the offseason when i can conjure up some false hope and convince myself things will be different.

I can see just fine. The Pelicans clearly outworked the Blazers on defense, didn't settle for as many bad shots, their guards locked down ours, and they got to the rim almost at will. Blaming the refs doesn't change any of what I saw.

No one is disputing anything that you're saying about the Blazers' effort, or the Pelicans'.
 
I knew in my gut I didn’t want this team getting home court. This team thinks they can turn it on and off whenever they feel like it. I’m glad they got their ass kicked again. Whether they come back or not doesn’t even matter. They needed this lesson. In years past they had excuses (Nurk injury, going up against the champs.) Now they don’t. That’s not a team they should get embarrassed by.
 
So about that mirotic guy they got at the deadline and uhhh we didn’t do anything at the deadline. I don’t know what to think about stotts. At times he’s brilliant but he has been pathetic the last two games. Olshey is the real idiot of the franchise. I dislike olshey more and more as time goes by and he tries to sell the same bullshit to the fans, sounding the same in every interview. It’s tiring. I honestly could care less about this team in the playoffs right now. Come out and show me some life Thursday and then I will give a shit but for now I’m over it. Dame is great. Made some shitty decisions and took bad shots but he’s also getting schemed against. Not much he can do to score when he’s getting doubled every touch.
 
I’m not one to usually complain about officiating, I know bad calls are part of the game... but tonight was one one of the worst officiated games I’ve seen in a while... that being said, it’s become obvious if it wasn’t already that Dame and CJ will never work... 2 undersized backcourt players have trouble getting off shots... embarrassing to lose first two games at home vs what was considered the worst of the western conference teams in playoffs, missing Cousins
 
To add insult to injury people have dug up this tweet and it’s being retweeted but it is kinda funny

That's how playoff basketball is called.
Portland plays soft & didn't adjust. Refs were fair tonight. There were lots of no calls both ways.

Refs were far from fair
