It’s time to put these Blazers away early. Don’t let up.

Nikobeast.

MiroSwish.

We need a good nickname.

Our 4 headed monster looks well tuned.

I wasn't the biggest Ryan Anderson fan by the end of his tenure, but "The Flamethrower" was a fantastic nickname.

3kola Miroswish

Obviously this is just a fantasy, but how good would a lineup of Boogie, AD, (a young Manu Ginobli), Jrue and rondo! Dunno why i just thought of that but his spot up jumper with his rebounding and hustle, but most of all the play making ability! would fit perfect with us!

Could we somehow make Mirotic a 3!??just gotta become more athletic haha!

I can't help but let my mind wander into how does Boogie fit into all this

Moore :D

When I first read this I thought you said,

"I can't help but let my HAND wander"

And I was like, "yeah man. This game is pretty good."

AD smashing that would have been beautiful

Lol refs

Does anyone else remember the Hornets vs Blazers game from back in 08 (regular season) where CP3 has 20+ assists, and Peja had like 100 three pointers made? This game is making me think of that one.

Lol. How many FTs have we shot (rhetorical)? Because the crowd is making it like it's in the 20s.

Portland, this running thing is what we do. Maybe not in your best interests to try it

Man NIKO

Bruh, niko

Playoff Mirotic has come alive

3KOLA!

3kolaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Rondo with the world's quietest 14 assists in 25 minutes

Mirotic, my man.

We are just curb stomping Portland right now.

FOUL??

Need to finish the quarter strong

Built this huge lead... so important to not take dumb shots and capitalise on good D with easy buckets.

I love this team!! With a few cuss words in that sentence!!

...last possessions have been sloppy as hell

Their offense is crumbling under this defensive pressure

Gotta feel like Dame is about to take care over . He is going to get some points but he can’t be us by himself. As long as we keep taking good shots we will be fine .

Rondo only 2 pts but 14 assists.

Maybe he goes off in the 4th and you get that payout.

Cmon boys. Lets close this out

We da best team in the league~!

Our guys are playing their you know what off!! Amazing effort on both sides of the ball by every single player. We got a real shot against any team if we play like this.

He has looked great tonight. I am happy to see he's getting more respect by defenses with his shot giving us more spacing then I thought we would get in the playoffs.

He's done exactly what we need from playoff Rondo. Minimal scoring, but running the entire motion of the offense, keeping the ball moving, playing strong defense, and commanding the team with his experience.

You probably bees to re-watch that 2nd half. The Blazers are playing way off of him.

He has been doing a good job of forcing penetration though.

Wow Clark is hitting some shots

Niko.....

That shot by niko was nasty.

Good 3rd Quarter.. the blazers are coming but Jrue and AD have been resting.

We gotta maintain and withstand their punches.

I have really given up on the Diallo experiment.
