I'm sitting here watching halftime of the Hornets/Heat matchup, and they just showed Dame arriving at the Arena. Fuck, guys... I'm tearing up here. This is big time. A shot against the champs. THE HISTORICALLY GOAT defending champs. On national network TV. And it's not being treated like a joke.

Who in their wildest dreams would have called this at the beginning of the year? ABC is hyping the shit out of this. Goddamn I am literally shaking with pride. I love this team.

If we lose its on your head, Dogg!

Thrilling day to go against the champs in the second round. These are the games where legends are built! Go Blazers! Steal game one!

 

[KingSpeed]

I think the Blazers will win this game comfortably. They can't guard us.

Jesus Christ... poor Charlotte.

Jesus Christ... poor Charlotte.

The small sample size I watched..Nico looked like he didn't want the ball at all...hot potato!

Sorry. My bad. I've been silent for a while and was out of the loop on DarkWing's recent success. Just didn't see his post and thought he was slacking for this year, didn't mean to bring in the bad mojo. Please feel free to suspend my account and put me on probation if I've let us down and we get killed.

Keys to advancing to the Western Conference Finals:

Harkless guards Thompson
Push the ball up the court, make or miss
Lillard and McCollum get to the FT line ten times each
Crabbe, Harkless, Hendo and Aminu need to combine for 65 points
Plumlee needs to average 15 rebounds
45% from the 3 point line

Do all or most of these things and The Portland Trail Blazers will be hosting games in the Western Conference Finals!

Always the consummate professional. It's still gonna be on you if they lose Sly. No amount of good Karma can change that.

If we learn just one thing from todays game, it's that Damian is from Oakland.

 

[Natebishop3]

Dame on Barnes? That's not a great matchup.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Let's go Blazers. All I ask is that you keep it competitive.

 

[Natebishop3]

Dame can't guard old man Livingston?

 

[Sedatedfork]

Let's Go Blazers!

 

[Natebishop3]

Fuck off Thompson.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Settle down guys.

 

[kingslayer]

Good to see our hot shooting continue!

 

[Strenuus]

Stop taking stupid shots. kthx.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Someone needs to "sweep the leg" on Clay.

 

[LuckyShot]

Looks like our stellar shooting from round 1 carried over.

 

[VenomXL]

Woof. Rough start.

 

[Natebishop3]

This reminds me of game one against LAC. We're too jacked up.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Stop taking stupid shots. kthx.

They're only stupid when they miss.

 

[RipCityDSCPL]

Dammit Stotts! I said Harkless on Thompson not McCollum! If this continues Thompson's gonna kill us
