Any blazers fans care to post that dame buzzer beater shot from a few years back?

Portland just like Washington
2 guards that ball hog the ball 18 seconds of the shot clock , while the other players stand around or set picks so they can go one on one
Toronto was the same way the last 4 years and now derozan and lowery realize movement without the ball is the key to win games

SOHH ICEY...WE EATIN
We gonna get smoked in 5 with curry(if he not healthy we can push them). 6/7 without curry. But progression is the key, show some signs if a future. This off-season sign some hard nose vets and eat good. Come back and we should be the 3rd seed at worse
We can't out shoot them, but their defense been struggling this year. We have been playing D at an elite level and we aren't slouches at shooting either. So, we may have a chance to outscore them, but we have to know when to push the pace and when to stagger off. The last thing we want is to play into GSW when they are heating up and we are only a few 3s from losing the lead.
We can't afford a bad shooting night. If we don't come out right... We will be down 0-2 with a quickness. Kill them in transition, passing, and get the switches timed right. If the D can't hold it down in transition from them firing wide open 3s. We need to slow down a tick.
If we cut down on transition points from GSW, guard the perimeter, and be stout in the paint. We can go blow for blow with them. Curry coming back is an x factor. Especially, when he is known to not perform well coming back from injuries.
All that is easier said than done. Feel like officiating will lean towards GSW.
GSW vs. HOU series is the one that the NBA really wants this year.

I'm picking the pelicans in the next round.
I feel we can push the series to 6 or 7 games, being that every game being close.
The experience factor is what I am worried about, which it will come down to us winning those close games that I'm predicting that we will have with them and this is where I think GS will have an advantage, thus them being in moments and tight series.
I think we can give them a run, but I don't see us beating them 4 outta 7, but we'll see
Y'all have Rondo and that is going to push you guys over with Curry, Durant and Livingston banged up a bit.
Draymond is getting exposed but nobody wants to talk about it. It really sucks you guys are missing Cousins because it could get really ugly when McGee is your only answer down there against those 2.
He's the only one that's battle tested. Rondo can only do so much barking, They have a team that's been to wha, 3 str8 finals or something.
I am not doubting Playoff Rondo, but he's gonna have his hands full with Curry. I hope we can pull it off, it would be a great thing for the city, but like I said, GS has been there before and I can see them really pulling out the close games that we would need to win.
Dray is really not, he's who he is, a good role player, he is still a good defender and he will more than likely be guarding AD. Hopefully AD doesn't get frustrated and can put up numbers against him.
What we don't have, is an answer for KD, he's the wild-card, I don't see anyone on our team really matching up against him.
It'll be a good match-up and test for us. Cousins would have given us an edge on the boards, not sure how he would have helped us showing on screens and curls when GS pins down for Klay and Curry, that's how we are defending Lillard and ole boy (bad with names smh), showing on screens and making him dribble more than 2 times coming off those screens.
I mean, it'll be a good series, I can see us getting 2, and losing 2-3 in close games, (average of 6 to 7 points) but I hope I am wrong lol
just here to take my L I refused to take this team seriously
Really needed Boogie for this series to give us some flexibility. The only answer for KD is to put Mir on him if Curry is out or still hobbled from his injury. If that actually works tho. That would be crazy. I don't trust Hill or Moore to lock down or keep pace with KD. I can see us playing big a lot if Curry misses the first few game.

Agreed,
I think our bench will have to step up also in this series. Wild-card for us will be Miller, his 3 game will be need to stretch the floor, knowing GS, they are going to want to clog the lane and surround AD, so our outside shooting must, must be on point every game.
