Horrible game

Sooo, Nic doesn't play defense? Really?

Go Blazers

 

Looks like Golden State is doing the same thing to the Lakers that they did to us!

 

GS is a different team at home. They're beyond terrible on the road. We should have won that game.

 

So a loss to them next week will be acceptable around this board? I think not...

 

A loss to them in Oakland is much more likely than a loss to them in Portland, but we let it happen. We have no slack in our schedule and we just gave up a huge one last night.

 

I think it's a pretty safe bet to say a road loss is more likely than a home loss against any team in the league.

 

Maxiep is right.

And if I say that, it should be obvious to everyone else.

 

all this is quite true, GS is 10-30 on the road, and 25-14 at home

 

The Warriors played great against us. Anytime they should 50% from the field they are going to win. They did this even after a horrnendous shooting performance in the 1st quarter.

 

We let them play great. We let them play unfettered on offense and didn't make them work on defense. The bottom line was we thought we could just show up and beat them, and we got embarrassed.

 

Why shouldn't they? We escorted them to the basket and invited them to make a lay-up.

 

Now I've read that we let them get to the basket too easy and that we played them soft by going under the screens. I tend to agree with you Shooter, I think GS speed gave us problems and once they started hitting shots and we had to come out on them, the driving lanes we wide open.

 

If their speed gives you problems then you bump and grind them to slow them down. You don't let them run free and get open looks at the hoop.
