Nah, anytime anyone brought up CJ for awhile after that he would say that CJ was a quitter and that he'd never think of him as anything else.

Oh well, no biggie.

You are right, no biggie.

Well, it was on O-Live so I have no way of showing you all the stuff you said.

I was harsh on CJ for sure. He really looked like he rolled over after they were down 20 or so.
Hoping we don't see that kind of game again. It was like 1st quarter and that game was over. We know now that is never that case. Matter of fact seems like Blazers play tougher when they are fighting to get back in a game.
Pretty sure i would not have said NEVER in a post. Just not my style. CJ earned respect this year. But if he rolls over i will again be tough on him.
 
Unfortunately under Stotts we've faced this exact situation down 3-0 in a playoff series 5 out of the last 6 years. The only year out of those 6 that we didn't face it we were down 2-0 in both series but won game 3. The previous 4 times being down 3-0 we have gotten swept twice and won just one game for the gentleman's sweep the other two.

It's getting really old being on the verge of a sweep almost every year, no matter what round it is. I'm not quitting on the team I just am sick of them putting themselves in a position where I have to hear the same quotes almost every year.

Very flawed thinking here. You know the response this sets you up for? Why even go there?
 
I'm extremely glad I got back into watching the Blazers this season. I went through a weird phase in my life the last couple years and basketball was something I kind of just cut out, for no reason I can articulate. These playoffs have been a great ride and cemented the Blazers back in my heart for good. I hope we win tonight but if we don't, so be it. I love this team and I'm proud to be a Blazers fan.
 
I think Warriors won’t get out of second gear tonight and we will win comfortably. They will be at their best in Oakland in game 5 though and it will end there.
 
I have 2 criteria for who should play in game 4: 1st, they must be healthy; 2nd, they must be signed for next season.
 
What helps the Blazers the most down the road? Starting Aminu/Harkless, and injured Lillard and playing Turner/Curry off the bench? Or giving minutes to Simons, Skal, Layman, Trent etc.....players who you may need minutes from in the Playoffs down the road?

Honestly, I would rather they did this, win or lose. At least those guys get experience.

It won't happen though as the team won't want to signal who isn't coming back.
