I can sense your frustration mbmurr, I too live in So-Cal and was at the game last night in my PDX #7 jersey supporting our Blazers. I went to the game knowing that the Blazers haven't been performing well at the Staples Center, especially in the 4th quarter. This game was definitely a nail-biter and a fun game to watch in the defending champs house, but I could sense the Lakers were shifting gears with about 6min left. I read Kobe's lips as he said "Turn it up" and then......... it happened... Now take this game with this Blazer team to the Rose Garden and I can almost guarantee a win. On April 8th the Blazers get their last shot of the regular season to beat the Lakers. Does it matter what was written in the past (Lakers 3-0 against Blazers thus far this season)...? Of course losing to the Lakers stings, in fact I believe it stings worse than a root canal, but the last-laugh is what I'm after. So.... On the 8th go to the Rose Garden all you Blazer faithful and be LOUD, don't let the Lakers have a minute of silence. If you can't afford a ticket go stand outside of the RG and get fired up. (Moderator edit for masked swearing) Show the players just how much we care and they will, in turn, feel the energy and show us fans how lucky we are to have them. The Blazer players will be full of pinned up aggression, ready and waiting to unleash it on the Lakers. The Blazers have to prove it to themselves on April 8th that they can beat the Lakers. This game is going to be a good measurement of how far the team how come and how motivated they are to win. You WILL see a much better, and much more motivated Portland team.I'm honored to be a fan, MiketheMichael
