Portland spanked Dallas tonight to tie the series 3-3. If they win Game 7, they will become the first time in NBA history to come back from a 3-0 deficit to win a series. Do you think it's possible? I'm not sure Portland can beat Dallas, but as a fan I have to believe. Regardless of the result, Portland has showed a great deal of character by making it a series and not rolling over.

I think it could happen...

(But I really have no idea what I'm talking about here, lol)

In the NBA Playoffs, teams pair off in a best of 7 series, meaning whoever wins four games first wins. Portland feel behing 3-0 in the series. Historically, about 60% of teams down 3-0 lose the next game and are swept. Only 2 other than Portland have climbed all the way back to tie the series at 3-3, because momentum is so hard to gain from such a low point. No team has ever won a series when down 3-0. However, Portland has seemed to solve the Dallas problem and is on the road (which I think is a good sign, actually) for the decisive Game 7.

I see...

Well, anything is possible eh?! I'll be crossing my fingers for ya!

Sometimes I feel behing too. It's not fun.

I think the only way Portland loses game 7 is if they implode - and they have a history of doing that.

I told you; Dallas has pulled the wool over on many people. They're style and very little substance because they can't stop anybody, they usually just outscore them. They can very easily outscore Portland (as you can see by the first 3 games against Portland) it wouldn't surprise me if they choked it all away. Dallas is a donut team, they have a hole in their interior, and little to no defense in general. If Portland can play that game without letting their fragile psyches become agitated, they win. And I'm rootin' for 'em!

Maurice Cheeks seems to have karma on his side after that National Anthem assist for the 13 year old girl.

He is referring to your typo goof ball

Diva said:

Or not?

Maybe I'm the goofy one today! It wouldn't be the first time, is "behing" a word I haven't heard of yet?

Guess who isn't sure of herself today!

Lay off the shrooms.

Moonbeam said:

I can see them beating Dallas easily, but I'd be hard-pressed to put them past Sacramento. I'd be the first one cheering though!

Moonbeam said:

they should beat the Queens.the Queens use to have there Coach&also bit there style from them.I Hope the Blazers Beat "Cry Me a Webber","Floppy Divac","Rick Acy Breaky Heart Alderman","Cub Scout Bibby",&the Rest of them.Portland is the Kind of Team that just on Style alone they got a chance to Beat the Queens.but even if Portland doesn't do it they Know the Real Capitol of Cali is Los Angeless.Shaq is Getting Hungry.

mistermaxxx said:

You're so fucking corny

Dallas get ready... cuz da KANGS are comin...
you ain't got no defense... you gon get shuuut down...

I'm so pissed I missed the Portland show over a measly $120. So many of the ONAL tracks are from there, and they had a killer aftershow, whereas there was not one at either of the shows I went to. Dammit dammit dammit! I'll just never forgive myself for that.

Oh wait. Basketball. Sorry. I don't know anything about sports. That's just the spiel I have to launch into anytime I hear/read the word "Portland," and probably will for the REST OF MY LIFE.

Shortly, I'll add a spiel for whever I hear/read the word "celebration." 'WHY didn't I go before he stopped having them. . I can't believe I missed that incredible acoustic set. . .'

Moonbeam said:

So sorry your team didn't make it. But at least we can both cheer the Lakers on :LOL: . Why do i get the feeling we have done this last year, and the year before that, and the year before that, etc?

sacramento kings, sacramento kings, sacramento kings!!!

Man, everytime I see the title of this thread I think, "Oh good, Moonie is coming out to Portland! Maybe he'll hit California next!"

Apparently Dallas won the game and eliminated the Trailblazers...



I don't like basketball at all, but... Yay for the hometown boys.

Moonbeam said:

YOU HATER! :LOL:

Moonbeam said:

Supernova said:

Was i a little too mean with the gleeful hater remark?

SuperC said:

No, cuz he has Laker hateration and will always have it! I just wanted the Blazers to beat the Mavericks. Mark Cuban is obnoxious and annoying, and that's reason enough for me.

Supernova said:

OK, then i can smile and call Moonbeam A HATER :LOL:
Lakers will take care of Dallas.
