    It had to be Game 1 to have any chance. They are NOT winning a Game 7 in Oakland like they did in Denver. So to win the series they now have to win 4 of the next 5 games. Sadly, not happening.

    Garbage time means nothing. He proved all season in regular rotation minutes he was one of the most efficiently effective shooters on the team.

    GSW held the Blazers to 36% shooting and 25% on 3's. We should have won by more with all the turnovers, but we kept the Blazers in with all the fouls committed. Onto Tuesday! Go DUBS!!

    And they had such a good opportunity at the start. Golden State was playing like shit (yet shooting well... go figure). We could have built a lead.

    You are partially correct. They seldom play like this against other teams because other teams make them work for their big nights. Giving them one wide open shot after another is inexcusable. Even the biggest Stotts apologist should be able to see that!

    I’m not even that discouraged right now, I dont expect us to win the series but I see we are able of winning a couple games, and off chance of a surprise.

    I'm just sooooo tired of iso hero ball.

    Golden State doesn't do that shit.

    Why can't we run people off screens and move the ball? Why can't we spread the floor and punish them when they try to trap?

    The Warriors sell out to take Dame out of the game and we come out with the same fucking game plan we do against every other team.

    Stotts has got to be one of the most inflexible coaches in the league. It's like he thinks the players are too dumb to adjust to a different game plan.

    Quite frankly I would be insulted as a player.

    It didn't have to be Game 1 and yes, we can win a game 7 in Oakland. Have the Warriors ever won a Game 7 at home? I don't think so.

    As much Cj been good in the playoffs he always will trouble with the warriors. Reason he can't guard Thompson due to the height. I give him credit he try but the height is to much to overcome.
