If Portland can win both home games, they then start to believe again. Just believing has massive effects on you. it did in the Houston series.

Which is why the crowd will be HUGE. Gotta get loud and send these fuckers back to their podunk town

That's the thing... Our confidence is shot, especially Aldridge.

I hate how defeatist some of you are right now. This isn't best of 3, it's first to 4. Portland hasn't seen a second round playoff game in ages-- they're gonna blow the roof off.

I need to find a better place to vent.

We are outgunned, outclassed, outbenched, outstartered. There is no aspect of the team that we are even equal to them. We are defeatist because we are defeated.

Go vent to the clutchfans board. They might still think they can win.

Yep. But the crowd can be loud as they want. If the players don't start believing. And walking and presenting themselves that way on the court. It doens't matter. Even early on tonight, just looking at them. I felt they were in trouble.

No it's good to play against the Spurs. Beating Dallas would have been bullshit for priming us for the future. We need to play the best.

Playing the Spurs in the second round is like boot camp for next year's playoffs. Painful, but necessary training.

Booya!!

San Antonio has no real answer for LeBron. He figured out the Spurs in the last two games of the finals.

If kwahi and bellineli play like this, it'll go 7

Exactly... Let's our team know we need to grow and get better. Either it be in this series, cause we still have a shot, or looking into the summer.

I definitely agree with this. Those that are left will be battle hardened!

This might be the series where the players start to question Stotts a little bit

The players know their defensive game plan is shit. Letting Parker roam the middle with no pressure is just fucking absurd.

Should we start hedging the screens? Make a driving Duncan beat us?
 
Re: PLAYOFFS: ROUND 2, GAME 2 - BLAZERS @ SPURS - 5/8/14, THURSDAY, 6:30 PM (PST), E

I totally believe the Blazers can regroup. We will win one, maybe even both at home.

That's what the Warriors said last year. Look at what happened to them this year. And there's no guarantee next year.

Lebron has never been a problem for the Spurs, Pop figured him out years ago. Its Bosh that gives them fits, and if Splitter can play like this in the Finals (should they get there) it'll be a massive boost for the Spurs.

Unfortunately, Durant and Ibaka still murder them.

I think they will be back next year.

I just hope they are learning. Spurs are playing at a much faster pace then these guys. It reminds me back in 09 when the Blazers were outpaced by the Rockets in that series.

We need to win both... It's a must win for both games

Guys, what happened?
 
Re: PLAYOFFS: ROUND 2, GAME 2 - BLAZERS @ SPURS - 5/8/14, THURSDAY, 6:30 PM (PST), E

Playoffs aren't a gradual linear process in the west where you get better every year.

No but the experience against these spurs is good. You can't argue that. Whether it makes us better next year? Who knows, but this experience should help us eventually.

Miami is better than San Antonio. So no.

How did you come to that conclusion? We were a rebound away from winning the ship last year and blew them out last time we played them. We got better from last year, they got worse. The biggest obstacle is getting out of the West.

Yep....that's the west for you.

You might get better....but so does everyone else. It's a crapshoot every year so you got to take advantage of the situation while it's still in your favor.

As long as no one requests to be moved and Neil Olshey can have an offseason similar to the one last year. The experience will only propel them next year.

They need to taking notes. And executing what they have learned as soon as game three.

You would think Blazer fans would know better than anyone nothing is a given and shit can get fucked up at a moment's notice.
