Vote for Wednesday's Opening Montage
I'll be at the game, and am voting for the always epic, always goosebump-inducing option 3 (with the rain and the drums and cymbals and foreboding choir and all that). i encourage you to do the same!

My only problem with that one
Is the image of Blake trying to be look menacing is really funny because it’s hard to imagine him actually doing that…
Proud member of Duck nation!
That 300esque one has been WAAYYYY over-played this season...
AND… It is impossible to clap to.
This is what I go through each time it’s played…
“And YOU’RE the six man!! And This is our house!!… Everybody on your feet!!”
Everyone (including me) then proceeds to start clapping…
I see rain… hear thunder… booms… a choir sing… but there is no beat to clap to.
Darn… I guess I’ll just stop clapping…
But what am I to do with my hands now? Do I cross them? Put them in my pockets?
Where’s my coke? Oh… down there… argh… not enough room to bend down.
I’ve seen this video 30 times this season alone, and now I’m standing here trying to figure out what to do with my hands since I can’t possibly clap to this video. Oh good, it’s over.
Yeah, I am done with that video.
I always enjoy the energy of Storm Large and the “ball room blitz”!! Video #1 for those who have yet to vote. You can clap from the moment you stand up… clear through to the moment Joel wins the tip.
RUDY! RUDY! RUDY!
strange

Take it to the Hole!!

They're all Terrible
I like the guns n roses one starting off, but then the fans in it don’t seem too excited about the game. maybe if they had bedgers saying “come on portland!” I would get into it, but they’re buzz kills.
Storm Large? really?
the 300 thing is too over the top, and like sagebrush said, you can’t clap to it.
We need to come up with something a lot better for next year.
Don't get the Storm hate
I really like that intro, was happy I got to see it last night. Number 3 is still the best, but Storm comes in second place hands down.
i concur.
- is epic and gives me chills. where are you sitting hoss? im in 317.

I voted #5
but I think for the last game of the season they should play the old Bust A Bucket rap in tribute of Duck since its the last game of the season
OOOOOH!!!!! That was NASTY!!!!!!!!
The dramatic song is called "O Fortuna"
My favorite band used it as their intro back in the late 90’s so it was really awesome to see it in the Rose Garden years later. I don’t want to see it wear out its welcome, but I really don’t care for the other choices.

#3 is terrible
it makes our players look silly, plus i’ve seen that they play the same theme videos in other arenas, AND it has no highlights from the actual game. I hate it.
My vote is for #4, it is unique and very portland-esque, and it actually has a ton of sweet highlights that get me pumped for the game.

I voted #4
There are some nice highlights and it is one of my favorite songs. Plus I always seem to miss it cause I am in the hallway running late.
I would have voted number 3 if they would update it with highlights. I have seen it a ton so I am a little bored with it. Thought, it totally gives me chills.
I like number 5, too, but it also should be updated with new people and highlights. I love the city sights.
Either way, I am so happy for this team that I may cry during the intro (oh the girl in me!).
I love L.A. - LaMarcus Aldridge, that is!
People!!!
You’ve gotta vote for 3.
They’ve played it for all of the big games in the last month or so, and the Blazers have won every time. I’m not very superstitious, but ….
And 5, really??? I think that one’s humiliating.
1 is just embarrassing. I voted for 3.
Because moving basketballs slowly in front of your face is the most intense thing EVER.
I Blazersedge daily, nightly and ever so rightly.
...
Aldridge, and Roy were the only two who could really pull of the hard look naturally. That’s not to say that they’re ghetto hard, but they have that thousand yard stare that comes from confidence and seeing “it” before. Funny enough, is that I thought Sergio pulled it off well, and Bayless fit nice two, as did Oden. Outlaws primal scream is beautiful.

I liked #3. I like the 300 thing but maybe even more over the top.
Like Roy front kicking Kobe into the abyss yelling, “This…is…Portland!!”
-I don’t get the storm large love.
"Every time Troutlaw touches the ball, I pop an anti-anxiety pill."
Gah
- wins. I would be even more distraught, but at least #3 held back #5. That those are the top two is a testament to just how much people’s tastes differ from my own when it comes to this stuff. #5 is an abomination.
My problem is that, as #3 includes zero basketball footage, all of the emotions and gestures, are literally fake and staged. At least in #4 we get to see real basketball plays with authentic on court emotions and greatness. This team doesn’t need to pose to come off as a tough groups of guys who will smash you, and having having them pose as such just makes them look ridiculous.
Sigh. I am a sore loser, it’s true.
