    Would it though? Honestly, I think it'd be "Steph Curry goes off late, almost beats Blazers" or something.

    Yep. If Dame had just made that one technical free throw on Livingston's ejection, it'd be a different story. One all about the Warriors, but one nonetheless.

    No, it would have been "Curry finds his groove, but it's too little too late to beat Lilliard and the Blazers"

    So did they not want it bad in games 1, 2 or at home in game 4? What makes this particular game so much more important to a team trying to win 4 play off games than the ones they lost?

    Uh, elimination game? And GSW is great. Of course. They are tough. POR has played them better than any team in the NBA however. It isn't like I said POR had the upper-hand here. You are quibbling on if it should be 25% vs 45%? Or 15%? I mean we can throw out numbers all day. POR can win this game. If you don't think so then there is no reason to even watch.

    P.S. Glad to have you back MM. A lot of people have missed you and I am included in that.

    Sure they can win. It's not likely, but it wasn't likely they'd win as many games this year as they did either. Calling it a coin flip game seems extremely irrational though....IMO anyway

    Love our team and what they have accomplished, but I think now that Curry is back we can realistically expect to be done after game 5. Whether it is done in 5, 6, or 7 makes no difference how I view this team. These guys played there ass off all season and made a lot (including myself) look like idiots saying we wouldn't even sniff the playoffs.

    Depends how times you flip the coin. The way I figure it, Golden State has been flipping the coin at home and having it come up with the Warrior's logo about 99% of the time. Laws of probability say it's about time the Blazers' logo ends up on top. If not, I'm moving to that alternate universe where it works out that way.

    I believe they've lost there twice. 39-2 in regular season. It was the Spurs that were 40-1.
