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!!!

Nurk gets absolutely cooked against Davis. He said not the key at all. Aminu did better on Davis than nurk did.
 
In true Blazer fashion, the Brass will somehow justify NOT making wholesale changes over the offseason.

Yes your misery in pergatory will continue - All the whilst Stotts, Lillard and Olshey will tout continuity of roster and 'Good Guys'.
 
I've seen 4th q only. Couldn't believe how chaotic our offence was.

Why Nurk was 15mins??? WTF?

How are we in purgatory? We improved from 41 wins to 49 wins and this series isn't over yet.

As a business model, the playoffs are small potatoes: up to 16 more home games, messing with the lucrative summer arena schedule, when you got 41 sold out games every year rain or shine? Donald Sterling had the right idea other than the "i'm a modern day slave owner boop de boo!" part.

Olshey will never trade CJ so why even waste time discussing it. We need to hope he finds someone good in the draft and that we can find a solid bench player with the MLE.

Olshey is fucking crazy if he isn't willing to go to drastic measures at this point. The "let it bake" scenario is an complete and utter failure.
 
Warriors ballin, not sure we want to get embarrassed by them in the next round. Let the Pels get a turn.

Hey man don’t worry just build through the draft around dame and cj and their prime will come and go but it’s okay because we have a good culture and the team takes trips to San Diego in the offseason all on their own, wow aren’t they great?!?! Lol

I never expected to win in the second round but to get bounced out of the first round would be embarrassing. At least make it to the warriors and compete with them and lose. Would rather lose to the 2018 champs then lose to the pelicans who in my opinion aren’t that good, just bad matchups for Portland. If Portland played their best ball, this would be a sweep in our favor.

How so? We went from 41 wins to 49 wins in one season. We'll likely be better next year as Nurk and Collins mature. The playoffs aren't over for us yet but even if we lose the series, there is stuff to learn from it that will make us better.

The regular season means nothing Kingspeed if you suck in the playoffs. You know that. Do you play baseball hard for 7 innings? Give me a break.

Means nothing if you cant win in the playoffs. The playoffs are the real games

8 teams lose in the first round every year. Doesn't mean they didn't have a great season or should make wholesale changes. The point is that the team has gotten better and we will win games in this series. We didn't last year.
 
Well, got to get Thursday. I just know that Dame is a special talent and won't throw his hands up to surrender without a fight. Go get'em Blazers!! I still believe.
