    They were something like 49-4 when we played them last year, which was better than their current 30-5 record.

    So apparently it's not just ESPN. The NBA's official twitter account just tweeted out the same commercial.

    Sucks but what can you do. Imagine how much they make off sales of jerseys and other merchandise. It's a team that will most likely face off against the cavs again in the finals

    Man, if I were on the team, I would be absolutely enraged and go as hard as physically possible after seeing this. I hope we have at least one guy on the squad with some sorta pride.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I'd hope they had the pride to play as hard as possible every game, to be honest. This is their full-time job, after all. They shouldn't need gimmicks.

    This is true, but none the less we are all human and have ups and downs. I would just hope that anyone on the team whos feeling on the down is now on the up. :)

    I just saw the same commercial, but at the end it was Memphis instead of Portland.

    So they just play it for every game, and just change the opponent each time

    Though I guess if the Blazers did a commercial, it's be like that but it show us getting blocked, the ball stolen, missing open shots, etc...with each players name popping up, then...

    Well, the least they could've done was alter the advertisement a little bit for the game against the Blazers. The catch line should be "Which Warriors player will NOT go off?" (against the Blazers' atrocious defense)

    Right. Do any of them even have to go off?

    So the promo looked positive for the Blazers compared to the dissing they got from the studio crew leading into the game.

    Thank you. It's what I have been trying to tell people but to them its justified because we have a bad record.

    Go figure. :crazy:

    Wow... holy shit. This is why the NBA is by far the most gag reflex-inducing sports league on the planet. The level of ass kissing, bandwagoning fellatio performance is really hard for me to swallow. Pun intended. That commercial was beyond insulting. Even if it was our team I'd probably still puke in my mouth a little bit just because watching other people gag makes me gag.

    I might "go off" on the next prick I see in a Warriors jersey. Ugh.
