    I think it's funny how fans like to say "Nobody knows who he is".. might as well just admit hes a casual fan lmao.

    They get so salty.

    To be fair on that. I really don't know the names of their rotation players either. A lot of people would not call me a casual fan. But i agree with you. Compared to you (And quite a few on here) i am definitely a casual fan.
    Thus....
    Kjironman is a fan!!!

    I will bet you that McCollum will play in the 4th the next game and many many games after that.

    I mean of the general NBA, not necessarily their team. Also mean it compared to a nutjob like me who knows literally every player on every roster and could list their strengths, weaknesses, height, position, college, etc.

    He probably will. And we also probably won't see a 4th quarter as dominant as that one. And @TBpup and others will say that there is a solid connection between those occurrences.

    'Solid connection' would be a stretch for me but I personally find it quite interesting to see how well they played and how free flowing the ball movement was without CJ in there. Also, they had such interchangeable defenders for most of the Warriors switches, it caused some issues on offense for the Dubs.

    Last year something similar happened as well. Their largest margin of victory for the year was a road game against the Sun's where CJ did not play. The next time they played Phoenix, it was in Portland, CJ played, and it was a down to the wire game.

    Much to small a sample size and complete opposite ends of the spectrum with Golden State and Phoenix..... but it is curious.

    What a 4th quarter!

    Ya think? You McCollum haters have really gone off the rails with your obsession to hate on him. Let me ask you a question. Is it easy to continually jump on and off the bandwagon?

    Why? We have had more dominant 4th quarters than last night in the past so I would expect some more in the future.

    ^^^ Not one thing in there about being a McCollum hater and also even mentioned that it would "be a stretch". Just pointed out a couple of "much too small of a sample size" occurrences and called them interesting. Overreact much?

    Your history speaks volumes. If you don't want to own it then don't say it or insinuate it.

    As for overreacting, I think a glance in the mirror should be in order as I'm not the one whining after every loss and complaining about a player, coach or GM on a daily basis like some of you. I'm not a fan of eating crow like some of you apparently are.

    Do your best to ignore the troll.

    He’s more subtle than other trolls, but he’s basically Olshey’s intern.

    and your post is pure bull shit. Forgive me for liking the Blazers and not spending all day whining about everything Blazer related.

    Wasn't just the 4th but a couple years ago we gave GS a pretty epic beat down. What was crazy about last night was the roll the bench unit got on, that was probably the best the Blazers bench has played on both ends of the court in recent memory. I think correlation does not equal causation as the saying goes and I don't really think the 4th quarter had much to do with CJ or Nurk not really playing in the 4th and more to do with the bench unit just getting on a major roll and Stotts letting them ride the wave.

    That would be my preference; doubt that it will happen...

    I agree about an airborne shooter, but what I've been talking about this whole time is when they pump fake and never get airborne and then use their body to draw contact. That could be easily cleaned up and was a couple years ago before they inexplicably stopped making it a no call.
