WCF: Blazers vs. Warriors

[DC23]

Who you taking in the series? How many games?

[HarlemHeat37]

Warriors in 6, they'll fall asleep for a game or 2..

[ducks]

hood must be healthy for portland to win 2 games

[D-Wade]

Dubs in 6.

[lefty]

Dubs in 4

[DPG21920]

Dubs in 5.

[Jonnyblue19]

Warriors in 6.

[spursistan]

Warriors in 5.

[gambit1990]

go blazers...

[Capt Bringdown]

Another WCF cakewalk for GS

[timtonymanu]

Dubs in 5. As usual they luck into an easier matchup.

[313]

Dubs in 5. As usual they luck into an easier matchup.Who was the touchet match up? lol

[313]

Warriors in 7, but should be a toss up series

[spursreport]

Warriors in 6 as this will be their final series they win with this team together. The end for them is in the “finals” where they will be dethroned in some kind of historical way by Milwaukee.

[Clipper Nation]

Warriors in 5.

[Killakobe81]

Warriors in 7
If hood and Kanter can stay healthy and Dame regains his stroke, especially if KD misses multiple games.

[resistanze]

Assuming Snake is back by game 3, Warriors in 6.

[timvp]

Warriors in four. If Durant comes back, five games. If Durant and Cousins come back, six games.

[RD2191]

Dubs in 3.

[Spurtacular]

Sucks that Denver choked. I wanted what to see what they could do against a potentially Durant-less Warriors.

Some say the Blazers are the team the Warriors didn't want to face. (Without Nurkic), I worry that they may be the JV version of the Warriors though.

[AlexJones]

Warriors in four. If Durant comes back, five games. If Durant and Cousins come back, six games.

:lol I almost forgot about Cousins.

GSW so lucky that Cousins and Durant were the ones who got hurt and not Draymond.

[Spurtacular]

If Durant doesn't come back, Blazers in 6.

[DAF86]

Warriors in 5. Denver might have made it a series.

[Silver&Black]

Warriors in 4

Fuck Rodney Hood

[Mitch]

Time to call in the expert on this one, tlongII time to shit the forum up

[KimmyGib]

Warriors are -500 in the sports books. My prediction is GS in 5 with Lillard shooting around 30% for the series.

[apalisoc_9]

:lol I almost forgot about Cousins.

GSW so lucky that Cousins and Durant were the ones who got hurt and not Draymond.

I Can the Bucks winning the LOBT just cause Lame and Boogie can ruin the ball movement. :lol

[ElNono]

Dubs sweep without Durant... in 5 if he's back...

[FrostKing]

Blazers are a Millsap/Horford type short from winning this series.

If Durant's health is a question mark, I could see Portland advancing

Jokic is a worse matchup than anyone on the Warriors so Portland is actually better off in this series. They have plenty of young improving guards & forwards to utilize

We've already seen this movie before. Blazers are just a poor man's Warriors. Both teams chuck 3's but Dubs have superior ball movement and coaching.

[UncleDennis]

Pretty much... a 3 point competition and one side has Klay and Steph.

[The Gemini Method]

I'd say with the 5 years of constant grind and wearisome, the series will go 6. I think the Durant question mark is the one thing that keeps it from being 5. Is he going to return? If so, when? I do agree with the premise that Portland is GSW North but in a lite form. The Trailblazers can't have multiple Dame 3 for 17 nights if they want to pull the upset. But on the same token, the Dubs can't have Steph being Seth in 1st quarters either. With that being said Warriors in 6.

[baseline bum]

Warriors in six

[Robz4000]

Dubs in 5.

[ambchang]

Refs in five. But will be dames coming out party.

[Killakobe81]

Refs in five. But will be dames coming out party.

that was round one but he sucked in round two he had two pretty good games and 5 stinkers by his standards

I think he has 5 really good games this time.

[Beartrucci]

that was round one but he sucked in round two he had two pretty good games and 5 stinkers by his standards

I think he has 5 really good games this time.

wonder why he stunk it up so badly. I suppose maybe he's bothered by athletic guards(that actually play some defense) ala Drue Holiday last year.

He should have an easier time scoring against GS.

[lefty]

Apparently Durbeta will miss game 1 and will be reevaluated on Thursday

[The Gemini Method]

Apparently Durbeta will miss game 1 and will be reevaluated on Thursday Split in Oakland. He comes back for game 3...

[tlongII]

:smokin

[TDMVPDPOY]

both teams have the same problem, stop the backcourt duos, and u win...

spurs once had them 3-4 multiple perimeter players who played all nba defense to contain such backcourts, only to gift them away for peanuts

[lefty]

:smokin

:D

[DC23]

An MRI revealed a left knee bone bruise for Rodney Hood and he is officially being listed as questionable for Tuesday's Game 1 matchup against the Warriors.

Klay/Iggy have enough length to give Dame issues. I don't see why Dame would be any better against GS than he was against Denver.

[Beartrucci]

Klay/Iggy have enough length to give Dame issues. I don't see why Dame would be any better against GS than he was against Denver.

Maybe so, but it'd be hard to be much worse than he was by his standards...

I guess that is two really bad playoff series in the last two years, though. Could become a theme for him, but I personally see him bouncing back.

[FrostKing]

True or False

In this matchup, Blazers have the better backcourt

[LeGiannis]

True or False

In this matchup, Blazers have the better backcourt

False. People forget how good Curry/Thompson are because Durant has stolen alot of their stats the past 3 years. You put Durant on the Blazers and Dame/McCollum would be an afterthought.

[lefty]

Lol this is going to be short

[RD2191]

As I suspected, Dubs in 3.

[apalisoc_9]

Warriors minus Beta > With Servant

[baseline bum]

This shit's so anticlimactic with GSW already clinching the title in Houston.

[lefty]

This shit's so anticlimactic with GSW already clinching the title in Houston.

They clinched the title before the season started

Hopefully Beta goes to NYC and kills his career so the league can get interesting again.

[HarlemHeat37]

Warriors have 5 playable guys right now(big 3, Iguodala, Looney), the rest are complete scrubs, yet still performing well as a team..great system that Kerr doesn't get any credit for..

[RD2191]

Raymond with the moving screen, fouling all over the place. :lol

[davethedope]

Wow is Portland such garbage they need half of the quarter with gs in the penalty to even be competitive

[AlexJones]

Warriors have 5 playable guys right now(big 3, Iguodala, Looney), the rest are complete scrubs, yet still performing well as a team..great system that Kerr doesn't get any credit for..
The system is Steph Curry

[HarlemHeat37]

The system is Steph Curry

Of course, but if Popovich had the same results, Curry wouldn't get any credit:lol

[Rummpd]

Blazers in 7 I hope but mind says GS in 6

[KimmyGib]

Cook and Bell are so bad, but Portland can't take advantage

[DAF86]

The system is Steph Curry

Mark Jackson couldn't make Curry have this kind of impact, tbh.

[D-Wade]

This doesn't seem like a conference finals. Even the GS crowd is lukewarm.

[Reck]

Portland is getting swept. :lol

[HarlemHeat37]

How does he make these shots?:lol we lost years of this beauty because Durant needed charity rings..

[lefty]

:lol today’s NBA

[KimmyGib]

Yeah, Vegas has Warriors at -560 in this series. Not an interesting WCF.

[KimmyGib]

Most interesting thing about this series will be the drama it stirs up when it becomes clear GS doesn't need what's-his-name...

[FrostKing]

How does he make these shots?:lol we lost years of this beauty because Durant needed charity rings..
Do you actually believe Curry is the only player physically capable of making those shots? I think he's one of the few with no leash. He knows in or out, his team will lead at Halftime. He soiled his shorts last series and still faced no backlash

If Kerr even attempted these shots, Jordan would have strangled him on the court

[apalisoc_9]

Beautiful to watch.

Criminal KD is getting the credit for a team that is more reliant on Steph Gravity

[AlexJones]

God I hate Thompson

[AlexJones]

Yeah, Vegas has Warriors at -560 in this series. Not an interesting WCF.

I laid -470

[KimmyGib]

McCollum struggling, but showing heart instead of shrinking like Lollard who is 2/8 with 6 turnovers.

[RD2191]

:lol today’s NBA

Tbh :lol

[Jonnyblue19]

This is the worst defense I have ever seen against Step, they are literally having them have wide open 3's. When Mark Jackson calls you out you know you are in trouble.

[Silver&Black]

H:lol:lolD

[MultiTroll]

smh how some SpurFan can root for GSW by comparing them to Houston.
They both suck.

Donkey almost getting away with yet another cheapshot. And bitching about the call as if he is the victim. Such a fucking pussy.

[HarlemHeat37]

God I hate Thompson

He's tough to watch when he isn't on fire..

[Jonnyblue19]

Maybe Portland might want to trap Curry on the pick and roll? Golden State doesn't every time against Dame but Portland seems to give Step 5 feet. I have never seen anything like this, did they not watch how the Clippers and Rockets guarded him?

[AlexJones]

He's tough to watch when he isn't on fire..

I just hate how GSW media pretends to care about analytics yet they worship this guy like he's Kawhi.. we both know he can't guard or create offense for shit.

[Beartrucci]

Getting your ass kicked by Cook and Jerebko :lol

Damn Thompson's shot right now...

[FrostKing]

Blazers playing awful

Warriors at their best

Only 8 point game

[Jonnyblue19]

How did Portland beat Denver?

[8FOR!3]

Too much pressure on Portland to win game one. I'd be shocked if they make it past game 6 and that might be pushing it.

[AlexJones]

KD out for playoffs = really fun finals, but Milwaukee would crush em
KD plays = boring GSW but it'll go 7

[Jonnyblue19]

Can't believe how passive Dame is. WTF? He looks like Harden out there.

[Beartrucci]

Too much pressure on Portland to win game one. I'd be shocked if they make it past game 6 and that might be pushing it.

Surprised it's this close with how shook they've looked.

21 Free Throws made..

Mtherfucking shame really

Seth Curry gotta be the most worthless brother since Jimmy Vaughan.

[ducks]

Portland is flat
No emotion
Hood came to play though

[HarlemHeat37]

Draymond is a basketball genius..few players in history can read the floor like he does on both sides, he's 5 steps ahead of everybody..

[timvp]

Easy sweep unless Durant returns, tbh.

[Jonnyblue19]

Easy sweep unless Durant returns, tbh.


Looks like it. There seems to something wrong with Dame, he seems to get worse the further Portland advances. Looks like so far that Durant might be out for a while based on Kerr, but he who knows he is telling the truth or just playing coy.

[AlexJones]

my guess is POR saw GS-HOU gm6, felt HOU lost bc they overplayed Curry too much --> so "let's make Steph beat us instead!". Game over

[SGA]

Blazers are the worst western conference finals team in arguably the past 10+ years. :lmao at anyone that thought they had a chance to win this series.

[ducks]

Will Gs get cocky and blazers sneak a win in game 2

[Spurtacular]

Game 1 of a conference finals not even nothing more than a YMCA game. Really sad. I couldn't watch much of that.

[DAF86]

Warriors in 5. Denver might have made it a series.

It really is a shame Denver didn't make it to the WCF. They matched up with GS a lot better.

[Spurtacular]

Blazers are the worst western conference finals team in arguably the past 10+ years. :lmao at anyone that thought they had a chance to win this series.

They do have a chance. That's how non-dominant GS is w/o Durant. And there's no need to go with the crap about record w / w/o Durant. Playoffs is a different beast. Anyone saying the Warriors are better w/o Durant is going full retard.

They'll win a game or 2 if the Warriors fall asleep, which they tend to do..

2007 WCF Jazz beat the 2019 WCF Blazers in 6, tbh.

Warriors have to rely on two chuckers at this point. They're very beatable.

[Capt Bringdown]

Other than Hood, Portland's bench is trash. How did this team make it to the WCF?

[AlexJones]

Portland 28 3PA, Warriors 33 3PA, Warriors win by 22

I better not see another tweet by Lefaggot about the mid range game

[TDfan2007]

:lol calling Curry a chucker. The Blazers backcourt is much more deserving of that label

[FrostKing]

Curry is one Bowen undercut from being a Derek Fisher. Not sure there are any of those types left in the Association though.

[AlexJones]

1127440357069692935

I've jerked off to this article 4 times

[HarlemHeat37]

Warriors are 28-1 in their last 29 games when Curry is in and Durant is out:lmao

[DPG21920]

There are so many reasons, KD aside, why people should not be surprised at this. Guys like Kanter playing vs other teams was ok; he’s death vs GS and that is a massive problem.

Beyond that, they don’t have the defensive horses to really make life tough for GS. They can’t punish GS when they go small and can’t go big without Nurk either.

While POR has gotten contributions from Hood, Collins, Kanter and some others, those guys are really bad for POR vs GS. POR is not good enough defensively for a team that moves the ball and off the ball as much as GS.

Beyond that, look at all the guys GS has to throw at Dame/CJ: Green can contain them, Iggy, Livingston for a few minutes here and there. Klay.

POR is cooked with or without KD.

[blah28]

Warriors are 28-1 in their last 29 games when Curry is in and Durant is out:lmao

If Durant is out for the Finals Bucks beat them in 6 if back I believe it will be toss up but probably favoring the Warriors.

Didn't watch the game tonight because I pretty much expected the Warriors to win. Nuggets vs Warriors would have been more entertaining even though Warriors still win the match up. Jokic vs Draymond would have been exciting.

[blah28]

Yea, plus they are more physical too. But they ended up choking up 17 points at home and Hood got hurt in the second quarter and they still lost.

[KimmyGib]

Sure, they're better with Durant. It's ridiculous to say they are worse for having him. Any team in the universe will be better with Durant on it. That said, the Warriors are not a lot worse without him, which is a really crazy situation for a top 3 player. Curry and Draymond are more important to that team's success than KD, despite the fact KD is the best player on it. In other words, they don't really need him, and wouldn't be surprised if they prioritize even Klay Thompson over him in the off-season.

No.

But 2007 Jazz was a better team relative to the standard of basketball in 2007.

2019 Blazers would smoke 2007 Jazz in 5 at worst.

But the Jazz were closer to the spurs than the Blazers are to warriors.

[JohnnyMax]

http://www.espn.com/espn/now?nowId=21-41064574-4

According to Second Spectrum tracking, the 12 picks the Golden State Warriors blitzed in their Game 1 Western Conference finals win were tied for their most such traps in a game this season with the Dec. 29 matchup against the Portland Trail Blazers. The Warriors have not blitzed more than nine picks in any other game this year, including the playoffs. Nine of the 12 picks Golden State blitzed with two defenders were set for Portland All-Star Damian Lillard.

[vavvi]

This was never going to be competitive. But boy what a dumb game plan from Portland. Like it's a regular season game they don't really want to win.
Atrocious defense of lineups with only one of Curry/Klay + 4 non-shooters.

[vavvi]

:lol no

They'll win a game or 2 if the Warriors fall asleep, which they tend to do..

They were relaxed and half-asleep in Game 1, and had no problem whatsoever

[vavvi]

Easy sweep unless Durant returns, tbh.

Easy sweep regardless

[The Gemini Method]

The side of the bracket that Portland conquered lacked Houston or Golden State. It was essentially a cakewalk for whomever would win the "B" side. The Warriors and Rockets got placed in the same bracket and despite what many may think, I think Houston would probably beat Portland if the roles were reversed. Defense was porous for Portland once Nurkjic went out. But giving Curry that much room to shoot doesn't at all seem like a genius plan. Maybe Stotts thought heck, his finger is why he shot less than 30% in the last round. Is he capable of adjusting? Seems Hood and McCollum at least showed up.

Yea, it made no sense to give Curry an inch but Portland thinks giving him 5 feet is better. That was the worse coaching decision I have ever seen.

Also Dame's is still shooting horribly and looks so passive out there. He looks like he doesn't care and just happy to be there.

[Beartrucci]

Terry Stotts going Pop on that reporter after that absolutely shit defensive game plan :lol

[Jonnyblue19]

Terry Stotts going Pop on that reporter after that absolutely shit defensive game plan :lol


:rollin I mean Mark Jackson was basically calling him out the entire first half and he never made an adjustment at half time. And every time the Blazers tried to pick and roll with Dame the Warriors would trap him.

Funny how Van Gundy was also saying they need to get shooter out there when they would double Kanter. They should have put in Hood in earlier to help spread the floor so they couldn't double Kanter that easily since Aminu can't shoot to save his life. And Harkless isn't a better shooter either. Might as well give Meyers Leonard some run and see if he can make some 3's for them. What is the point of having Collins out there if they aren't going to switch or double Curry?

The lights were too bright for Stotts. If you're quantifying your defensive game plan by stating "We were only down six!!!Why should I worry?" You're asking for total annihilation. At least the Rockets knew their defense would be the downfall. They made life marginally more difficult for Steph and Klay. I don't know if Portland has the horses and their D was as atrocious as Houston's was this season, I believe.

You are right, Houston played better defense then they ever did before, they kept pressure on Golden State and switched or tried trap. The problem with them is their Offense. Capela couldn't make anything, Paul is too old and slow, and Harden is worse playoff chocker ever.

I remember vaguely in the finals when he was with OKC and they played the Heat he was abysmal then too. Then against the Spurs and now 2 times in a row against the warriors.

I think coming back from down 3-1 against Durant's Thunder was the Warriors'/Curry's finest moment during this run. It far exceeds any of their victories against Cleveland imo. That Thunder Team was talented, athletic, and long. They were no joke. The second greatest accomplishment was this most recent victory over Houston for two reasons-1) the Rockets were at full health with no excuses and 2) it helps to offset the argument that Houston would have won last year if CP0 was not hurt. The Dubs won without Durant so the Rockets should have been able to do it without Paul.

They're 41-10 the last three years in the playoffs. That's an 80% winning percentage. I get the feeling they could go 82-0 and you'd still say that Rex Chapman is better than Steph Curry.

[Spurtacular]

Career 3pt%

Curry: 43.6%
Klay: 41.9%

Lillard: 36.8%
McCollum: 40.1%

No reason to let either shoot over 40 3 FG if they're gonna be volume three shooters. Without KD there, they're very containable.

[KimmyGib]

KD "not close to returning" after today's evaluation. Will the Glazers defend the 3 well enough tonight to steal one on the road? Will Lollard shoot better than 30%? The answer... is no.

[Reck]

Paul Pierce as a commentator. So cringe. :lol

[RD2191]

Garbage ass Blazers. A team finally gets lucky against the Warriors and these fucks are bound to get swept.

[KimmyGib]

Funny how this Blazer team managed to beat both OKC and Denver after intentionally trying to throw games to get matched up against Utah in the first round to whom they probably would have lost.

[DC23]

Blazers switching on all screens.

[Reck]

I still wonder how Curry's ugly ass jumpers always go in. His release is just as ugly looking too. ffs

[KimmyGib]

Durant cheering for the Blazers, tbh

[Jonnyblue19]

My lord how bad is Dame playing? He looks like Mills out there right now.

[Beartrucci]

They've really gotta do something about offensive players lunging their bodies into contesting defenders and getting free throws out of it. The most unnatural shot motions, just makes no sense. Should be an offensive foul every time

and yea seriously what in the hell is wrong with Dame? This is now 3 out of his last 4 playoff series where he looks terrible

[DC23]

Portland playing very well. Still a lot of basketball left to be played.

[Jonnyblue19]

Looks like Dame finally decided to show up

[Jonnyblue19]

Also they should have had Hood out there Ambiou is bad at shooting that Green is giving him 10 feet.

[Keepin' it real]

Damon Lilliard good all-around 1st half. Reminds me of my game tbh.

I am not impressed

They didn’t beat Kawhis Spurs, they played dirty and injured Kawhi. Spurs never injured Curry. Nobody pulled at his shoulder like Kelly Olynyk did to Kevin Love, or clotheslined a guy like Andrew Bynum, or even raked both of his eyes repeatedly like Draymond Green did to Harden. Anyone could have done those things to Curry but they didn’t. Hell they didn’t even undercut or elbow him once.

[Capt Bringdown]

Miss Durant much?

[DC23]

Getting production from Aminu and Harkless makes such a huge difference. Blazers have a chance if those two combine for at least 25+ points each night.

[Keepin' it real]

They didn’t beat Kawhis Spurs, they played dirty and injured Kawhi. Spurs never injured Curry

When/If the truth is ever released to the masses, that is what people will learn was the primary reason for Leanord's departure. He was furious that nobody on the Spurs had his back by injuring Zsa Zsa, Curry or anyone. They just wilted like a bunch of pansies. That was the beginning of the end.

Oops, you didn't hear it from me.

Didnt Zsa Zsa stop playing after he hurt Kiwi? I remember he didnt play the last couple of games.

[Laker_1995]

Warriors fun to watch without that fagget KD

[KimmyGib]

Blazers 3rd quarter defense looking like they're a team of 5 Belinellis

:wow

[DC23]

Smh Portland blew it

[Spurtacular]

NBA put in good cheat code. Giving Curry 3 fts whenever he jumps into a player way off him.

[Spurtacular]

Blazers 3rd quarter defense looking like they're a team of 5 Belinellis

Worse. Fucking butter.

[Spurtacular]

Didnt Zsa Zsa stop playing after he hurt Kiwi? I remember he didnt play the last couple of games.

Coward.

[UZER]

I still can’t understand why teams don’t send a quick flash to Draymond every time he grabs the defensive rebound to stop him from pushing the ball. As soon as he grabs it, he takes off and it creates so much havoc. Send one or two guys to just run up on him so he picks up his dribble.

[AlexJones]

Jordan Bell was really good as a rookie. I don't know why Kerr put him in the doghouse this season

[Capt Bringdown]

3 point shooting contest, LOL today's NBA

[Keepin' it real]

Didnt Zsa Zsa stop playing after he hurt Kiwi? I remember he didnt play the last couple of games.

Yes, he didn't play at all in SA due to security concerns that Spurs fans -- unlike the Spurs players -- would seek retribution against Zsa Zsa.

[Capt Bringdown]

Yes, he didn't play at all in SA due to security concerns that Spurs fans -- unlike the Spurs players -- would seek retribution against Zsa Zsa.

:pop:Retaliation not our culture. Golden State is a great team.

[davethedope]

Portland sucks...

[UZER]

Yes, he didn't play at all in SA due to security concerns that Spurs fans -- unlike the Spurs players -- would seek retribution against Zsa Zsa.

We don’t retaliate. We congratulate, when they win the series.

:pop:

[Beartrucci]

Awesome performance by Seth no matter who wins. Fun game to watch

McCollum letting team down here at end with really wide open looks

[Capt Bringdown]

McCollum has disappeared in the 2nd half

[Laker_1995]

This nugga draymond can pass lol

[resistanze]

Dame is a fucking mess

[Beartrucci]

Wow what a low iq foul by Dame

[Capt Bringdown]

Curry does the same shenanigans that Harden does.

[140]

SHould have been a foul on donkey on that alley oop tbh

[resistanze]

Worst defensive unit maybe in WCF history :lmao

[Capt Bringdown]

Portland was playing better with Kanter in the game. Small ball has killed them.

[Play Boban]

Trail Chokers.

[AlexJones]

The Warriors watchability without KD is 10/10. With KD it's a 7/10.

[Laker_1995]

Damn Portland’s defense is atrocious

[Capt Bringdown]

Ball game

[TheRemix]

Too damn easy

[KimmyGib]

Never seen so many uncontested layups in a conference finals game

[AlexJones]

Lol Dame should've just shot that from halfcourt

[Laker_1995]

Lmao Dame

[Capt Bringdown]

Iggy again

[Capt Bringdown]

Fucking hell, Iggy mugged him

[DC23]

Iggy committed multiple fouls on that play

[timtonymanu]

Was there any doubt they were gonna win tonight? :lol

[ducks]

That was a foul he touched him
Unreal

[Capt Bringdown]

How is that a no call?
Oh, it's GS.

[apalisoc_9]

That was a foul even on 90s standards :lol

[Killakobe81]

Fucking hell, Iggy mugged him

Stop it Dame lost control of ball

[apalisoc_9]

The most devastated Blazers fan today is Kevin Durant

[resistanze]

Stop it... Iggy owned Dame

[resistanze]

Stop it Dame lost control of ball

Yup. Dame tried to chicken wing Iggy and almost most the ball, then stripped on his way up. He's been a huge letdown over the two games. Still a Warriors fan at heart.

[baseline bum]

The most devastated Blazers fan today is Kevin Durant

Damn I'd root hard for them to ring if Durant is out for the playoffs.

[ducks]

A joke

[ShutUp SayItAgain!]

Faggot Curry talking to the cameras is one of the worst things I can watch. Damn I hope some team beats those arrogant fucks

[Killakobe81]

Stop it Dame lost control of ball

Before foul tho lol

[Killakobe81]

Before foul tho lol

All jokes aside some contact but after a shaky Dame dribble no way you call that

[daslicer]

:lol Just saw Durant looking at a piece of paper outside of the locker room. It looked like something out of movie. I guess he's plotting to go to NYC.

[daslicer]

Faggot Curry talking to the cameras is one of the worst things I can watch. Damn I hope some team beats those arrogant fucks

Normally I would root against these chodes but as long as #2 is in the playoffs then I will have to root for them just for insurance reasons. I'm definitely rooting for the bucks if it comes down to them and the bucks.

[Keepin' it real]

I can't help but think that Patty Mills would be having a monster series against GSW.

[AlexJones]

I'd normally say POR will blow GSW out in G3 because it's a giveaway game but IDK anymore. Without Durant they are LOCKED IN. It's like they want the media to STFU about needing KD to win titles. Draymond knows they don't need him.

[Capt Bringdown]

This is a trendy narrative on this forum, but GS barely won this game against one of the weakest teams I've ever seen in the WCF.

[phxspurfan]

Damn I hope some team beats those arrogant fucks and their referees

FIFY

[UZER]

Kerr has taught his team the Phil Jackson second half technique of just foul on every play and dare the refs to calls it.

[Beartrucci]

Fucking hell, Iggy mugged him

Not really talking about that play, but Iggy's been allowed to mug whoever he wants since the '15 Finals.

If McCollum is even halfway decent in 4th Portland wins.

[daslicer]

This is a trendy narrative on this forum, but GS barely won this game against one of the weakest teams I've ever seen in the WCF.

Blazers are pretenders. I do believe the Warriors would have never beaten the Lebron Cavs after 2016 had Durant not joined.

[ducks]

The non foul called ruined the game
Terrible for ratings
You would think nba would want it to go more games

More games more $

A joke

[Capt Bringdown]

Good point. LOL Draymond carrying 5 fouls. Does this guy ever foul out?

[davethedope]

I agree but they barely played till 5 minutes left in the 4th

A joke

that was a non-issue, lol

if anybody wanna bitch about anything I saw at least two obvious travels not called on Steph and one on Klay and they scored or got Ft's on all three ...
But There was also a halfcourt violation very clearly missed on CJ mccollum

[AlexJones]

Portland opens -2.5 for game 3

It's a sharp line IMO, squares will rush to bet GSW as dogs.

[phxspurfan]

FTs

GS 21/27
POR 17/18

GS wins by 3

[MultiTroll]

I've got a problem with Iggys left hand being allowed to MeToo grope Dane as he was stepping then setting and gathering on the play.
Not blatant, but I don't like the harassment allowed.

OTOH they let Dane chicken wing Iggy a bit before that so.....

Just wish the fucking refs would call it both ways in Golden Phaggot games. But I know that is not happening.

[Jonnyblue19]

The sooner this series ends the sooner the Bucks can play them hopefully without KD. And if KD isnt back the Bucks will destroy them they have too much depth and length too. They can switch everything as well

[Capt Bringdown]

Portland got crushed on the boards.

Imagine Curry getting mugged by guys the way refs let Iggy foul :lol

[UZER]

Imagine Curry getting mugged by guys the way refs let Iggy foul :lol

And Draymond

[Capt Bringdown]

Lillard and McCollum a combined 15 for 39
/sorted

[Broly]

These playoffs just go from bad to worse for Durant and the people thinking he was better than Curry.

[Jonnyblue19]

These playoffs just go from bad to worse for Durant and the people thinking he was better than Curry.

Well they will need him to beat the Bucks. So if he doesnt return for the finals and they lose he will come out ahead.

[AlexJones]

It'll be great if KD comes back because Milwaukee is tapping that ass.

[vavvi]

These playoffs just go from bad to worse for Durant and the people thinking he was better than Curry.

He is better than Curry

[LkrFan]

:lol

[LaMarcus Bryant]

Good point. LOL Draymond carrying 5 fouls. Does this guy ever foul out?

So infuriating seeing him called for his 4th and smugly grinning and waving Kerr off to keep him in the game. Well no shit you're okay you fuck. Never fouls out ever.

[Beartrucci]

So infuriating seeing him called for his 4th and smugly grinning and waving Kerr off to keep him in the game. Well no shit you're okay you fuck. Never fouls out ever.

He even said during the postgame that he doesn't change the way he plays defense when he has 5 fouls. Must be nice :lol

I mean I'm sure a lot of guys don't. Just kinda funny coming from Dray

[LkrFan]

Curry's mom easily. Bum ass Dell ain't hitting it right.

[MultiTroll]

Near the end when Golden Phaggots ran that simple pick n roll top of the key by the arc.... no switch and Portlands guard and Center ended up doubling Curry.
Thus Donkey Breath was open by a mile for the layup.

Were you guys like WTF Portland?

[Beartrucci]

Yea it was depressing to see Looney get that easy lob from a wide open Dray right after that epic Seth Curry 3.

Ah you're talking about the play after that one. Well they were both depressing.

Was that his Curry's sister as well? she wasn't too shabby either. The mom got the good redbone thing going on...

Same exact shitty defensive reaction on both plays to the most simple of pick n roll sets.
Yours was the play that made it 112-11 GS. Ya that was pathetic.
Mine was 114-111 GS.

On replay I see Donkey got away with a moving screen on the latter. Not body contact but rather obvious wide feet shuffle. Par for Golden State. Did you hear earlier Mark Jackson scolding a Portland player who got rung up for a very soft moving screen call. That hypocritical jackass. Hey Jackson ever think of calling any of the 1 million the Warriors have gotten away with during their *run*.

It’s more than minor contact.

Those are fouls ever since James Naismith. Other than prison ball I can’t think of any situation that this is not a foul.

When Iggy or Dray defends you. Ask '15 LBJ. Andre was draped over him all series.

Funny how these refs keep calling kickout fouls and letting offensive players lunge into defenders to draw fouls, but won't call legit fouls when they actually happen.

[Laker_1995]

Lmao Durant crying on the inside knowing GS don’t need him. I’m torn. I want Gs to lose and bucks to win. however if Durant is out for the finals I would love to see curry explode win FMVP and warriors win without beta.

[baseline bum]

This is a trendy narrative on this forum, but GS barely won this game against one of the weakest teams I've ever seen in the WCF.

81 Rockets, 81 Kings, 84 Suns, and 87 Sonics were all way worse.

[DC23]

Hope Portland comes out strong, wins the game, and makes this a series.
