LOL! I think the warriors could win this one. As long as Portland doesn't have as much inside outside game we can win this.
I didn't listen to the game, but Portland does have a nice inside - outside game with Brandon Roy and LaMarcus Aldridge. They also have Greg Oden who can be a monster presence inside if he can learn to control his fouls. Not only that, they have Blake, Outlaw, and Rudy Fernandez who can shoot the ball from outside and pass. They also have one of the richest owners in the league... GO DARIUS!!!
Portland is a great rebounding team...in fact, they're the best in the league, I believe. And well, the Warriors are one of the worst, if not the worst. If we had taken away half of their second chance points, we would have won. Plain and simple.
Portland has the dream roster situation... although Darius Miles situation will be interesting. The starters are amazing enough, with basically 3 franchise players in Roy, Aldridge, and Oden, and the ideal PG in Blake along with Batum. But Pryzbylla, Outlaw, Fernandez, Rodriguez, and Bayliss off the bench? That's just nasty. All young. All disciplined. All strong on the glass. The sky's the limit. The stars are aligning for Portland, that's for sure.
