So proud of our team

[BlazerCaravan]

Yay!

Technically it's a 4th place award... Also why are you shitting on this thread?

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

I'm fucking crushed. We should have won that. Those quarters are the difference between winning the series and getting swept.

Is there a "This loss fucking sucked" thread that accidentally merged with the "so proud of our team" thread?!

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Experience ftw.

Yes.

So this is like the second round experience we got playing the Spurs two years ago? I know its a new squad but winning > experience and we had this game firmly in control until the choke at the end.

Yeah yeah, we should't be here, playing with house money, blah blah blah but how long are we going to ride that as an excuse.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

This forum is shit; nothing good can stay good in it. There are people on this forum who have to piss on anything nice.

I love the Blazers though.

Not s**ting on this thread. Just putting this into perspective. "Playing with house money" is the most tired, trite phrase in the playoffs. I remember when we "were playing with house money" when we got the #1 pick in 2007.

Speaking of worn of phrases used as excuses...

 

[SlyPokerDog]

I'm still proud of this team!

Look no further than Lillard. The system is built around him.

This is his third trip to the playoffs and hasn't gotten better in any single area.

In fact, he has steadily regressed since his rookie year playoff run - across the board.

I will just do what all the niner fans do on Reddit.

Slap hands!

He didn't make the playoffs as a rookie.

Dude are you fucking serious? This might be his third trip overall but it's his first as THE MAN and he's busting his ass.

Seriously what the fuck do you expect out of him? He can't make the open shots FOR his teammates. The way people like you and tunchi shit on him is what's wrong with this fanbase.

This is the first year the system has been "built" around him and its a work in progress. We're in the second round of the playoffs where we should have been a 24 win team. I'd say that's pretty good (still doesn't excuse our choke tonight though)

I stand corrected but my point still stands, Mr. Dog.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

In that it has always been non-existent, yes your point is as good as ever.

Oh, I'm very serious.

Trying and production are two different things. Dame has a long way to go.

If only we had Kendall Marshall. Right?

Tempting.

It's like you are intentionally ignoring that these teams are building their entire defense around stopping him and forcing others to shoot.

That part is obvious.

 

[Pinwheel1]

Anyone liking Barnes more than they used to? Personally I am warming up to the idea.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Okay, Sir Milk of Magnesia.

 

[Natebishop3]

If that part is obvious then why don't you appreciate what he has done with what the defense is giving him? He's trying to carry this team while guys like plumlee and Aminu are giving us nothing in this series.

He looks like crap. Someone is paying this guy a max contract to be Jeff Green.

Agreed; he's fool's gold.

Why can't we just call him pyrite?
