    Their guards are just destroying us. If we don't get Affalo back next game its going to be a damn sweep.

    Even when we played them during the regular season they worked us over. They're just the better team.

    Warriors only have to win home games.

    Our offense is too one-dimensional. Pathetic.

    Well, Memphis is better than us at every position except for PF, and at PG, even their bench player is better than our starter.

    See? Batum guards Conley, same result. It's not the on ball defender that matters. We are giving Conley a one on one against Lopez in space, and Conley has a head start. It's fucking crazy.

    like I said earlier. They're running a clinic on how to play defense. Were playing shitty defense ourselves.

    At least we aren't getting smoked by the Rockets or Clippers I guess.

    Ironically, our best game against them was without Aldridge when Blake went off.

    Lillard has been garbage. Udrih has been substantially better. Conley is infinitely better.

    Then why did the Blazers agree to play these road games? They should only play home games.

    Our defense has been pretty great actually. It's our guards not scoring that has killed us.

    There 3p shooting is going to come back down to earth in the RG. We will even this up 2-2 but I just don't know if we can win at memphis, we just dont' play well in memphis.

    Well yeah, the philosophy is completely busted. But that was only one play on an offensive rebound where everyone was out of position. Stotts hasn't even attempted to defend the PG differently.

    This reminds me of the days when the mediocre Blazer teams would eek their way into the 1st round as a 7th or 8th seed then just get destroyed.

    That play happens all the time, and has all year. When Chris Paul was lighting us up this season he did it against anyone we put on him. Our defense plays right into a competent PG's hands.
