Man, what a heartbreaker as a Blazer fan. I have to admit that at no point was I comfortable even with a seemingly big lead. Give up 39 in the 3rd? Up 17 and lose that lead in, I don't know, about 5 minutes? To me this is about the coaches. Kerr made much better half time adjustments than Stotts did.
Oh, and we are missing Nurkic big time. Kanter has been decent in the last two series but a liability in this one. I do think he should have been in the game late though, we could have used a rebound or two to close that mess out.
On to Portland. I expect to win game 3 and will pray for game 4. I do think this series still has come interest and excitement. It is not over yet.
