The Blazers are making me cry
by jjweatherman
OK I'm not literally crying but I want to, lol. The first game of the Playoffs was complete misery for the Blazers and I was just sitting in front of my t.v. thinking, "Are you serious?". Ugg. From the first five seemingly instant points by Yao, I knew this game wasn't going to be pretty. Sure enough it turned out downright awful. We ended up down by about 25 points for the entire 2nd half. Eve...

From the first five seemingly instant points by Yao, I knew this game wasn't going to be pretty. Sure enough it turned out downright awful. We ended up down by about 25 points for the entire 2nd half. Even got to 31 points at one point. Good god, in the Rose Garden? The same Rose Garden Arena where we went 34-7 to have the 4th best home record in the NBA? We were there? Because it didn't seem like it. It seemed like we were in some alternate dimention that only exists so that when the Blazers play there, they get blown out. Brandon Roy was the only Blazer to display a hint of life during the game, finishing with like 21 points I believe. Actually Greg Oden showed a spark too late in the game. But it made no difference due to the already insurmountable score. PLEASE come out with some intensity for game 2. I know that all expectations for this season were exceeded. But you can't end the post season playing that type of basketball. If the Blazers can at least go out and win 1-2 games in the series and put up a fight in the others I will be satisfied. But holy hell, I don't know if I can take another blowout like that.
GO BLAZERS! (please?)
Come on guys. Play like a team.
