Last night I went to dinner in SF. They had sudden theater rush, service slowed and I had long BART ride so got dessert to go. First Ill have healthy kale salad from my garden, then celebrate with a chocolate eclair.

Do you cook the stems?

Just a fun quote from a Denver fan.


Eric Rawnsley
Congrats to the blazers, but this game got me starting to think the NBA needs serious reforms in officiating, or the league is fixed. One of the two. Touch fouls were called all game and at the same time the blazers fouled jokic every single possession. He was getting mauled out there. But I get it the, the blazers will make more money for the nba continuing on then nuggets so it's not surprising."

Denver shot 15 more FTs than Portland... lmao.

Good Stuff. Congrats to her on such a fantastic accomplishment.

I think the team slogan for the WCF's should be :" Ball for Paul"

I like ballin' for pollen also because the demise of the bee population really touches my heart.

 

[LuckyShot]

The one obvious factual thing is "The players like playing for him" so when we hear guys like Kanter and Hood talk about how different it is and everyone gets long very well, thats the synergy thats hard to measure.

Yes, I absolutely agree with this.

 

[Dom McBlazer]

He likes to run his mouth and in my opinion hasn't earned it.

Understood. Just based on what I've seen this playoff series, I can't hate on him.

 

[tykendo]

Man they can’t even enjoy this win. I have a feeling that will be one amazing flight.

 

[Dougnsalem]

Pretty awesome day here too.....

 

[James lamphear]

I love Aminu, but it had to be done. Bad matchup and he wasn't making shots. Still love him.

I hoping he taking alright I don't think he head case or anything like that but Stotts might be making his decision in FA little bit easier.

 

[James lamphear]

They have both had their fair share of opportunities in this series. Its just a really bad match up for them both

I also know Harkless can pout on the bench too. But glad when came in he produce.

 

[bodyman5000 and 1]

Just watched the highlights. I still got a bit nervous. That said they showed some guts at the end.

 

[bodyman5000 and 1]

We win by 5. Calling it now.

Wrong!

 

[oldmangrouch]

Great win and a great run.

 

[Cugel]

Blazers called for 31 fouls; Denver 23. So I don't follow the logic that the refs. won this one for Portland.

 

[Cugel]

so what do you all know about hyperextended knees? says he is in pain...

 

[bodyman5000 and 1]

Well, let’s see how much heart this team has.

Tons!

 

[CupWizier]

Well, 15 assist for an entire team is extremely low. It does speak to an odd way of playing basketball. Denver plays the same way, but it will likely be exposed against a team that plays team ball. Even the Warrior got 25 assists in their last win, not extremely high, but a significant difference compared to the Blazers.

Oh, BTW, I do not specifically blame Dame for this. I see it as Stotts' calling card.

uh, marzy, do you really watch the games? An assist takes two participants. If a player makes a great pass and the shooter misses no assist. Both teams shot horrible so there was a lack of assists. Stotts has led this team to the WCF. I like "Stott's calling card". Only 4 teams left after tonight and we are one of them.

 

[riverman]

The people down the street were even screaming all the way down here after we won

So another normal Klamath Falls afternoon? You forgot to mention they've been screaming for 5 years now!

 

[trailblazer18]

Wowzers Leonard!

 

[CupWizier]

so what do you all know about hyperextended knees? says he is in pain...

When I played baseball at U of P, we had a player that hyperextended his knee and was out about a week, but it was pretty mild but very sore that next day. In most cases it can be 2-4 weeks but they did mention that he might be able to come back in and play so hopefully it's very mild.

Here is our bird after we removed the fishing line from both legs. She will have scars on her right leg, but will now be a happy bird who can actually forage. Happy mother's day to her.

Ps. This bird was caught and dealt with by FWRI professionals. Please don't attempt at home.

Pss. She is wearing Blazers colors! You knew this was going to end well.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

We won the tip tonight. Did the team that won the tip win every game in this series? Anyone know?

 

[maxiep]

a healthy 'better' team with HCA doesn't get beat by an injured worse team, not in a 7 game series

Sure they do. 1977 rings a bell.

 

[maxiep]

How stupid can a fanbase be? They shot 15 more free throws than us. Like.... what the fuck do they want? 30 more free throws? 40? 50?

How can they be so blind?

They're just hurting right now. It's a tough series to lose.

 

[Chris Craig]

We won the tip tonight. Did the team that won the tip win every game in this series? Anyone know?

Yes

 

[DDolla]

Does CJ plays like the smaller version of Brandon Roy?

 

[noknobs]

I had to watch the game on delay but I'm real happy for ET. He's had a very rough year and I'm sure he's aware of all the criticism. To keep his head up and deliver for his team when it mattered is awesome.

 

[crandc]

Last two games should be big confidence booster for ET

 

[James lamphear]

We won the tip tonight. Did the team that won the tip win every game in this series? Anyone know?

Yes last series every team that lost the tip won.
