    I would agree with that....except they tried that last year and were even worse this season. #regression

    Pussies. No heart tonight. Dame needs to drop the "I'm too cool to get upset" facade when things aren't going well and light up his teammates for playing like pansies.

    We were down 0-2 in the first round last year, too. The series ain't over yet.

    It's almost impossible to do anything where you have a league wide talent drain. There is only a High Tier of Certain players and they deserve to be able to ply their trade after a certain time. I like Cubans idea of an alternative to college. I would put like an an academy system system and allow small market franchises to farm their own guys. They could sell the rights to the contending teams. Kind of like Southampton does in the PL. It would reward competativness and creativity.

    Difference is we'd need 4 Warriors players to go out with injuries in the next game as 2 will not suffice this time.

    And I said I smelled a victory at the beginning of this thread. I was right. The Warriors were victorious. So I guess I'm good at stating facts. :lol:

    Will have seen great teams get blow out of playoff games before and the next game they end up winning. Overall bad night except the 2QT I thought the defense was solid in that Quarter.

    If the Blazers keep playing like this, the bright side is I only need to make 2 more game threads this season. :)

    YES

    Game 1 of ThunderSpurs in the second round last year! Spurs led by as much as 40 points! How did Thunder respond? They won 7 of their next 9 games to get within one win of the NBA Finals!

    Well the good news is I don't think we can play much worse than we did tonight. Hopefully we can get Nurk back for game 3 and try to swing momentum in the series. I remember feeling shitty after losing by 21 and going down 0-2 against the Clippers last year before the team came home and figured things out on their home floor. Warriors are a different breed, but we saw this team can hang with them in game 1.
