I'd like to see Nurk commit a flagrant foul against Holliday, lay him out hard and get ejected.

I don't think we need to imitate Andrew Bynum when the 2011 Mavs just absolutely demolished their team. Bynum having a **** career proves their is justice in the world the guy was a complete **** douche-bag that would lay out ridiculously uncalled for fouls when he felt pissed off.

Here's to hoping for an exciting offseason. Blazers need to be swinging for the fences for the chance at a prospect like AD, this series has been a teaching moment for us.

Hey Jeff yesterday I had jury duty and met the current Grappler. He was one of my fellow jurors. Nice guy. He and I talked wrestling

I don't think I'm gonna be able to watch the game live. I may check out the score prior to watching the game. I never do that because I don't want to know the outcome, but given the last 3 games, I don't know if I actually want to watch the game. (sigh)

in some ways, this may be the most revealing game of the season. Blazers have almost no chance at all of winning this series and the Pelicans have to be heavy favorites to complete the sweep today

how much pride do the Blazers have and will they give maximum effort? What happens to the Blazer attitudes if the Pelicans build a big lead again? Will Portland just roll over? Which players demonstrate resolve, even in a losing effort, if it comes to that?

what happens today may set the path of the off-season, if it isn't already set

yeah, I know...a lot of captain obvious in this post

I expect Dame/cj to take 60+ shots like they did last year against the GSW. If the team goes down, those guys will go down shooting

Turner is still questionable for this game and could not practice yesterday

the bigger news is that Harkless is experiencing pain in the knee he had surgery and is questionable as well. If there's any chance at all he could re-injure the knee he should sit.

Portland could be down to Connaughton, Baldwin, and Layman as the SF's

At least we don’t have to hear anymore stuff about how the blazers with nurk are a different team like at the end of last year.

sheeeeesh...the Pel's are doubling Dame every time he touches the ball; once they even triple teamed

blazers - 2 assists on 6 FG's....Pel's - 7 assists on 7 FG's

This may seem to sacrilege to some(alright most) on this board but I believe Meyers Leonard should be put on Anthony Davis instead of Ed. Ed is a great rebounder and tenacious but he doesn't have the size to really to guard AD or the offensive game to make AD work on the other end. Say whay you will about Meyers but he is big and can shoot from outside(hopefully bringing out one of the Pelicans bigs)
