What a drastic change in environment going from LAC to PDX. Seems like silence in the Arena is key to DJ making his FT's. Something that is guaranteed not to happen in Rip City.

 

[KingSpeed]

When the jumbo tron tried to prompt the fans to chant DE FENSE, no one joined in. It was pathetic.

We need to take a moment to appreciate that there is a game 6. We've come a long way since Game 2 and Mason Plumlee is the answer to the poll question. He saved our season.

 

[kingslayer]

National broadcast will most likely be on ESPN at 7:30pm.

 

[THE HCP]

Nobody cares about the national broadcast FAMS!

Not everyone will have the luxury of hearing Mike Rice give us another "hoo hah" lol

 

[Draco]

Confirmed; 10:30ET ESPN

Still laughing at Mason Plumlee. I called him a Team USA center (which he is), and you laughed and compared him to Magloire and Mo Williams. Don't look now, but Plumlee has been the best center in the entire NBA playoffs thus far.

 

[Chris Craig]

Riiiiiiiiiippppppp Cittttttttttyyyyy!

 

[blue9]

Poll (NOT pole!) question is kinda tricky - could Mason have this sort of impact without Dame drawing hard doubles? Still, gotta go with Plumlee!

 

[KeepOnRollin]

I don't care if we struggle doing it (although I would prefer a blowout of course) I just want a win in game 6. Win in front of your home crowd and go on to the next round! Don't let them send this to game 7.

That's all that matters. Well, that and winning at least one game in the 2nd round. Never wanna get swept.

But yeah - I really hope the team give the fans a series win on our home floor. If that happens shit is gonna explode tomorrow night! Tomorrow is a rare occasion where I'll be watching in a bar - looking forward to a room full of strangers all smiling and high-fiving!

 

[Draco]

Wow its going to be an awesome party there wish I was in town.

Somehow its conceivable I'll have a chance to party on Blazer wins out here in Texas next month! Go Blazers!

No he couldn't. The Blazers wouldn't have the success they've had this series without Lillard and Plums. "Most" impactful? Yep. Gotta go with Plumlee.

 

[Strenuus]

Just win, baby.

 

[illmatic99]

Those open lanes for Plums to do his thing are absent if it weren't for Dame. He's the head.

 

[Charcoal Filtered]

Who is going tomorrow?

I know Orion Bailey will be there and I will too.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

I wanna be there sooooooo bad

[theprunetang]

Wish I could be in Portland for this so badly. I remember being at work at Dots Cafe during the night of Dame's 0.6 game winner. There are no tvs there and I knew I was going to miss the game. But, it was a slow night and the owner, knowing what a big fan I was, let me off early. I ran across the street to Clinton st pub and watched the last 6 minutes or so. The whole block was electric. It was beautiful. Much fernet was consumed together across the street back at Dot's. I miss that. There's no facebook group for Blazer Fans in Shit Florida page.

 

[-Ace-]

I will be there. It sure has been nice seeing the playoff games for my regular season price...........next round it goes up.

 

[B-Roy]

Spent a good chunk of change Monday night for tickets. Worth it. Same ones now are going for much more.

 

[Orion Bailey]

This is me right now waiting for tomorrow...:

Why has time stopped????!!!!

Completely with you.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

I'll be there. Cant fucking wait.
