Series Thread: 4) LA Clippers (53-29) vs 5) Portland Trailblazers (44-38)

[Mecca]

Huge series win for Portland. The amazing season continues.

THIS is why you don't tank. You just never know.

Dame is not an All-star.

Dame is not good enough to play in the Olympics.

Dame can't win now that LaMarcus has left town.

Portland is a lottery Team.

Clearly, Somebody forgot to mention these things to Dame.

Dude is a Lion.

How many times did the Blazers beat GS this year? A lot more than many NBA teams did.


ONWERDZ!

Portland hasn't won a game in Oakland since the 2012-13 season.

I think it's time to put the " Rivers is only in the NBA because his Dad runs the Clippers" narrative to bed.

It's not his fault he was picked so high.


Like Jeremy Lin and Marvin Williams, they are rotation players as long as you don't try to make them something they're not.

Star players, and in the case of the guards, starters.

But this year's win against your boyz was whooping blowout...more to come?

Ummm, once.

Relatively speaking, I guess that can be seen as a lot more, if you squint, seeing as most Teams couldn't beat them once.

Portland is the feel good story of the year.

But, let's be reasonable.

Steph is going to play during the Series.

Portland is going to fight.

Like Detroit, they still could get swept in some very close games.

I say Warriors in 5.

But, only 2 will be blowouts.

Yeah, they beat them 32 in February...damn.


Then they beat the Blazers by 25.

That was in Rip City....and pretty much an anomaly....

Seems like an avi play here...I say the series goes more than 5 games...you?

It's very possible it goes just 4.....but I can also see it going 5, or 6 max.

One week avi bet...winner picks his favorite surfing spot avi for the loser...you "IN" yoga?

Again, I say the over/under at 5 games goes over. Make a stand and be a playa.

Highly unlikely it goes just 4. Portland won 21 of 24 at home. Find it hard to believe they'll lose 2 straight home games

Damn...I had this spot on my top 3 for ya. Honolua Bay, Maui.

We could use that extra 3.5 million...




Paul Pierce, 38, signed a three-year, $10 million contract with the Clippers last year, but said after the game he’s “50-50” on whether he will retire following the worst season of his professional career.

I'm right on the 5/6 games line myself for this series. I do think the warriors are more focused right now with Steph out. I'll take 5 and under for an avi bet. How long for the avi bet?
