Agree they seem like a respectable group. If they beat us i was gonna go for them
It seems like every single series the Spurs go through, I end up hating almost every player on the opposite squad. I was pretty sure I was gonna hate Aldridge after the series. The only dude I couldn't stand was Lopez. Nobody was playing dirty or really crying to the refs non stop. Seemed like a pretty classy team. Tbh tbh tbh.

They have class organization...no longer The Jailblazers.
All of them are very likable and very respectful of the Spurs
Yeah, it's strange. I guess that's what happens when you play a classy team, tbh. This must be what it feels like to play the Spurs.
Lol. Perfect. I'm glad I'm not alone on this.
LMA commits a foul pretty much every time he posts someone up, and acts bewildered the few times a foul is actually called. But that's a regular occurrence in the NBA so I can't really hold it against him.
Overall they played fair, no fights, no hard fouls, etc. Just a bit too much trash talk in the media.
Serious respect for the Blazers. They definitely weren't the better team - but they're still pretty savvy. Totally agree with the OP.
mm... it is pretty easy not to hate a team when they barely hanged in there for a few quarters
I am pretty sure that if they had won a couple of games and not gotten blown out of the building in the first halfs of the games there would be some hate around the fans
Like em Blazers tbh
I didn't like Robin Lopez's face and hair. That goofy caveman asshole also runs like a dummy.
Exactly, he was the Caveman version of Basketball. It wasn't so much I hated Lopez, but the fact he moved on almost every screen and went over the back a ton on rebounds with no calls is what irked me.
Someone should make a gif with Lopez where it say, "NBA, so easy even a Caveman could do it."
Agreed, but Wes Matthews was an annoying at times
em
Easy team to root for. They're gonna be elite in a couple years.
They're hard to hate because the Spurs destroyed them. If the Blazers had pushed it to 7 games, I guarantee a "I hope Paul Allen gets cancer" thread woulda popped up tbh.
Its hard to hate a team when you have destroyed them by 15+ in your 4 wins.
Matthews and Robinson are gots.
I doubt it tbh. They overachieved greatly this season so kudos to them.
But LMA isn't that young and pretty much is what he is at this point. Ditto for Matthews. Lopez is better suited as a backup big. Batum will always be inconsistent due to his passivity. Lillard is a nice, young player but I don't think he has Top 10 potential.
They were pretty fortunate to get out of the 1st round and a Lillard shot away from losing it in 7. But this isn't like OKC of 4 years ago, where they have a bunch of potential superstars in their early 20s.
No draft picks this season and not being a huge FA draw hurts them and I think they probably take a step back next season. The 6-8 seed is probably their realistic outcome for the next 2-3 years tbh.
That's what I thought about OKC too a few years ago, before they became the ThunderRefs.
Well ya know why?! Cuz the spurs stomped them into the ground. They never had a chance to be hated. Could you imagine them pounding their chests and doing stare downs when they're behind 20?
Never liked OKC from the second they were stolen from Seattle. Wanted them to fail miserably every season even though I liked KD at the time.
Unless you're a Rockets fan.
Like I said I am happy the blazers are on the way up considering the Oden and Roy issues and injuries.
I can't hate the Blazers. They're young, inexperience, and maybe they're an exception, too. Because the most young teams are arrogant/immature/narcissistic with the biggest egos in the league.
I really want the Clips win the other semifinals, because all those NBA players that I hate are OKC players.
I-beat-my-chest-like-a-gorilla-bc-I'm-full-of-myself-Westbrook, Reggie Jackson, Buttler, Perkins...all these guys deserves to have a high level of hate
You mean a reoccurrence...hodgkins lymphoma disease. Had it when he bought the team way back when
