This time feels different...

[Natebishop3]

In the past, I'd probably feel pretty depressed that we lost. I wouldn't want to think about basketball or read the forum for a couple weeks.

This time I'm excited. I didn't expect us to make it this far, and I'm looking forward to the offseason because I'm anxious to see what Neil does with our cap space.

I can't wait until next season!

I am completely amped up too. It's crazy because I honestly have faith in this franchise top to bottom. It's almost unfair though because I think we are going to have ridiculous expectations for NO this summer to deliver, and it might be beyond his control.

 

[Daweez04]

Same here.

This playoff run is exactly why you don't tank. I guarantee you this team takes more away from these 4th quarter losses in the playoffs than any #10 pick could have added.

I want to watch the blazers beat up on fools in a consolation tourney!

I want a Hard Knocks show that follows Dame and the team during the offseason.

I need more Waterlito!

If we had zero cap space I'd be worried. This feels like the strongest position the Blazers have been in going into a summer, even without a draft pick.

I think @BlazerCaravan nailed it in another thread when he compared it to the end of Rocky. Can't wait for Rocky II!

Make you wonder, how much of a guy like Draymond's act is to get into both the opponents and ref's head.

 

[B-Roy]

Could just be PR.

Then again, he never remotely said anything similar about the Rockets.

Yeah, I think Green's act is just a game he plays. I think that's a big reason he doesn't get a ton of technicals or ejections...he stays under control. He may be demonstrative, but he probably doesn't say anything stupid to the referees .

Pretty sure he was top 5 in Techs this year (maybe only 2nd to boogie). Has 4 in the playoffs, 7 gets you a suspension.

I think its a mixture of both.
