Someone get me excited about Game 3, because I'm just not seeing it.

[chris_in_pdx]

I think that the Blazers will win one of the two home games, in a "Dame or CJ takes over and wills the Blazers to a gritty win", but the first two games are a strong indication that this team HUGELY overachieved in a top-heavy Western Conference and are just first-round cannon-fodder. It's a shame, too, because the Clippers are so damn flawed, Golden State is going to absolutely destroy them.

The absence of Meyers Leonard is a huge hit to the Blazers, as he had the ability to frustrate Jordan and Griffin with his length and athleticness.

Someone tell me why I'm wrong and why the Blazers can still win this thing.

 

[Tunchi]

Clippers are not even impressive is what pisses me off. Watch Warriors just completely dismantle this team.

Boring ass series. I thought we would be competitive at the very least and as everybody knows was actually moving pass the asset thing when the playoffs started and looking forward to the clips sweating from Dame and CJ scaring them.

ah well

 

[KingSpeed]

1) We've won 18 of our last 21 games at home

2) Clippers choked last year

3) Blazers were down 0-2 in 1977 Finals

4) There are many examples of teams getting blown out in playoffs and then coming back to win a game.

5) We beat the Clippers this season.

6) Despite the final score, we played better last game. We're getting used to playing them and will figure out how to win.

7) I don't think the Clippers have led a series 3-0 in the history of their franchise.

Warriors have their own problems losing to horrible Rockets team and Curry still being injured.

Relax, the Blazers are playing with house money. The Blazers have nothing to loose lose.

All the Blazers need to do is go out and have fun playing their own game. Their shots will start to fall like they did when they beat the Warriors in the regular season.

 

[Natebishop3]

They can't possibly shoot any worse and they were right there in the game until the 4th quarter.

Well we did have something to loose but hey...

And the Clippers have NEVER won a championship.

This Clipper's roster is NOT a championship caliber team. The Blazers can beat the Clippers.

What did we have to loose? We should really tighten things up.

Dammit! I wanted to see if he got my subtle jab. You had to go and ruin it.

No offense, but I meant no one thought the Blazers, with 4 new starters, would make the playoffs.

This Blazer’s roster has overachieved by soooo much, that many fans are spoiled and have lost perspective.

Win or lose, we win just from the experience our kids will have playing in the playoffs. They have nothing to lose.

Oh. OK, it must be time for my nap.

Losing two in LA by 20+ How could we be excited as we watch their big men rule and handle anyone we've got. We better call Saul

Larry Weinberg told me this after Game 1. Said don't worry, we got this.

[Tunchi]

I just do not understand after this TERRIFIC AND GREAT SEASON we didnt just pull what we did in 2013 during Dame's rookie year and tank the last 13-15 games. Look what that resulted in, a guy named CJ Mccollum.

Thats all we had to do..

I wish you were coach. "Oh hey guys, I know you've been dreaming of playoffs since day 1 and worked your asses off for it, but I've decided we need to lose these last 10 games so we can get that pick. That 19 year old kid will be more important than the work and culture you've built here"
Cmon man

If free agents heard about that you could kiss any chance of landing ANYONE goodbye.
