Blazers gone fishing. Yawn, nothing to see here, move along
Posted on28. Apr, 2011 by Kinger.
Well that was fun. Another year, another game 6 exit in the 1st round. Typical. Oh you know haven’t been out of the 1st round since 2000, no biggie. If it wasn’t never getting an important rebound, it was Jason Kidd hitting a ridiculous 3. If it wasn’t that, it was Barea hitting a 3 [...]

Taking a cue from that Jesus guy, B Roy and the Blazers rise from the dead. In case you missed it here you go. And even if you didn’t, can you really get enough of it? You know, because clutch 4-point play are so common… Dagger. How you think Shawn Marion is sleeping tonight? Gotta [...]
