    I know it Sounds crazy, but we should give Dray a Max contract in 2020. He as a playmaker and defender with Dame and CJ would be huuuuge

    Actually they didn’t. The last foul call on the warrriors was on Green with 7:48 left in the game. No other fouls were called, shooting or in the floor, for the warriors.

    I don’t want to do that. He makes me think of Boris Diaw so much and he had to drop 25 pounds before the playoffs to be able to play like this.

    He would make us a 60 win team, he could be Dpoy, he would make all the right plays in the Playoffs when Lillard get's doubled Teamed. Of course you want him on your team

    I'm livid at Stotts after this game.
    You think he would've learned that Portland gets killed on the glass when they go small.
    It happened against Denver.
    It happened tonight in the 3rd quarter when Moe/Harkless were playing the 4/5.

    Yet soon as he sticks Nards in the game that's cleaned up.
    Fucking shocking.

    It's not hard to figure out. Offensive rebounds kill Portland.

    Stotts would simply use him as a PnR big.

    I'm not mad at him for that. We werent smaller than GS. It's on the players there to do their jobs and rebound.

    CJ had 3 good looks late, and I think we win with any of them dropping. Can't believe that happened.

    We have a playmaking big who plays great defense. Unfortunately his leg snapped in half.

    not a good game for Collins. Leonard was a good substitution however he was a matador on defense

    That is fucking ridiculous. They were fouling every other possession.

    They are used to it much more then we are. Not really putting them in a position they are comfortable to succeed. Yes they need to rebound, but how many times did Harkless or Turner play center this season?

    Up to the very end I was sure they would pull it out.

    Look, we are all bleeding. But don't forget. 26 coaches and GMs are watching conference finals on TV. So it's really hard for me to think Blazers have worst coach and GM in the history of sports.

    He makes two of them and they are assured the win. One of them was a wide open three. That was a good look and a solid stroke on the shot. Just didn't go. Then that elbow jumper was a very good look. He makes that shot 9 out of 10 times game after game. That was a good look also. I have no problem with CJ taking those shots. He has been very good all playoffs.
    Now go win game 3!

    That foul call on Dame with Curry shooting three free throws was total bullshit. Curry kicked his leg out and basically kicked Dame and then dropped.
