It's a weird thing being a Portland fan. We have been witness to some of the greatest legends putting on some of their best games against us. Late in his career Larry bird put up an incredible game against us it was as if he could not miss. Micheal Jordon not only put up one of his greatest games against us in the finals, he was hitting so many crazy circus shots that he shook his head in disbelief while raising his hands. That shot is still used in NBA promo's. No we can add one more legendary performance that we have had the pleasure of watching, and the displeasure as well because it came in a loss.
The hopes of winning this series has nearly been extinguished and it was never great to begin with but we can't lose sight of what they have accomplished this year. This has been an epic season for the Blazers. They accomplished a feat that no one else has ever done, making the playoffs after just returning two players that logged in 1,000 or more minutes the year before. We are still one player away from greatness, but we are knocking on the door.
Who knows maybe we will be one of those rare teams that come back from a 1-3 deficit. I doubt it but never count this team out.
Go Blazers!!!!
