The Portland Trailblazers get to the 2nd round for the first time in quite sometime going back to the 1999-2000 Blazers led by Scottie Pippen, Steve Smith, and Arvydas Sabonis. This new bunch has extreme "Firepower" led by 2nd year All-Star Point God Damian Lillard and the Logo's only Choo Choo Train...the "L-Train" LaMarcus Aldridge. Now they get a Spurs Team loaded with Veteran Moxy and the will to get back to those June 2013 Demons left at the AA 305 in Dade County Florida. As the Plot thickens so does the pressure...

#SpursFamily SPURS 
Western Conference 2nd Round Preview

KEY PLAYERS 

#POR 

L-Train 29.8 ppg 11.2 rpg
"License to Lillard" 25.5 ppg 6.7 apg 6.3 rpg
Batum 15.8 ppg 5.8 rpg 5.2 apg
Matthews Jr. 15.3 ppg
R. Lopez 9.7 ppg 8.7 rpg

#SAS 

Manu 17.7 ppg 4.6 rpg
TP9 19.9 ppg 4.7 apg
Dunc 17.3 ppg 8.4 rpg 5.6 rpg
K.L. 11.9 ppg 7.4 rpg

BLAZERS to win:

That Starting Five is "Lethal" led by two 2013-14 All-Stars LaMarcus Aldridge and Damian Lillard. They also have one of the more underrated defenders in the Logo in Wes Matthews and Nicolas Batum and are very versatile. The Bench came alive in Round 1 vs Clutch City as Combo Guard Mo Williams and Dorell Wright played huge roles in that series along with under-sized PF Thomas Robinson. Can Lillard win his battle vs Tony Parker and can they get more Scoring Punch on that Blazers Front Line other than the L-Train? Rip City Lead Man Terry Stotts picked Rockets Lead Man Kevin McHale's Pocket in round 1 now he gets "Pops".

SPURS to win:

The Big Three TP9, Manu, and Dunc needed everything they had to get out of Round 1 but it's the Playoffs as they know that Window of opportunity is closing rapidly. Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green are vital to then Spurs Success. Patty Mills and Marco Belinelli need to step up their game as well. Spurs are going to do what they do and that Offense is centered around both Parker and Manu can Rip City stop it? Green and the Spurs Money Ball was finally flying ion Game 7 will that carry over to this series?  Spurs Bench must play better than that not so deep Blazers Bench in order for the Spurs to win the series. If Parker, Manu, and Dunc are going lookout Blazers!

Who Wins? SPURS 4-3...
