    Blazers missing some easy shots, but they're rushing all of their shots trying to make a comeback.

    But Blazers suck defensively. They wouldn't have gone anywhere beyond this. But it will be a good growing experience for LMA/Liliard.

    Pop has got to find a way to get Baynes back in this game if he hopes to pull off a win tonight.

    feeling good because of the score. this is what happens when the blazers face prepared competition. also embarrassed at the same time.

    Looking at the beat down, do we still consider Spurs the easy road to WCF? Playoffs is a different animal, the whole Rockets team from coach to players, all failed, except for DH12.

    Portland is garbage, McHale should retire from coaching, after losing to this team, no joke

    Sure helps that they have players that CAN shoot mid-range shots, unlike our team.

    I hear you, just saying the officiating was such a major factor in the losses. That said, everyone was super jacked about facing the Spurs like it was a forgone conclusion since we swept them this year that we would win easily... I never felt that way at all, in fact I was pretty well convinced that had we beaten Portland we were going to be lucky to get by the Spurs in round 2.

    I am just still pssied about the horrific officiating and the bull**** calls that the Blazers got away with constantly and now watching them get called for the stuff they didn't get called for against the Rox, just opens up old wounds...

    the spurs inherently play better team defense but if you look at what Splitter and Duncan are actually being allowed to defend LMA while Asik, Jones, and Dwighy could hardly touch him without getting touch fouls.

    That wasn't a foul on Splitter.
