    This is a must-win. We can't let these fools sweep us. It's the biggest game of the remaining regular season!

    Personally there's no way we should loose this game, unless we don't show up. Golden state is playing for nothing but a little exercise before the playoffs.

    We should not loose this game and if we do? Smh

    I hate them and their cockiness despite never having won ANYTHING ever. And I hate how their fanbase is considered rabid when you could hear a pin drop in that half-empty dump 6 years ago.

    I can't remember what they were like 6 years ago, but I have been in that dump many times over the years and their fan base is one of the best. Top 5 easily, even when they are a non playoff team. But I agree they do get very cocky about their team every time they start to get better.

    I just want my boy Harry to do well for the Warriors, but the Blazers kick butt! Barnes will definitely be happy that TRob is gone. Earlier in the year he said TRob just beat him up during the game.

    Yet they still have not lost a home game since January and have only lost 2 games at home all year. Personally I don't like our odds.

    They are just a happy, having fun, confident team this year. I can't hate them or their fans for that. If we were blazing the way they are currently...oh my, this board would have the biggest erection ever. And it would be glorious!

    My god so when can we like our odds then? They have nothing to play for but a little exercise then when can we beat them? When they have SOMETHING to play for?

    We have to start beating teams like the clippers or warriors Etc eventually. Why can't we beat them today? Why not ? Get some confidence going into the playoffs instead of smashing a weak ass team like the wolves lets beat somebody worth a damn on national TV!

    Regardless of playoff seeding, I want to see the Blazers beat a Western Conference playoff team on the road!

    I never said we can't beat them, just that the odds were not good. Your assertion that the Warriors are not going to try very hard at home on national TV because they don't have anything to play for.........makes no sense when Kerr has repeatedly said he does not believe in going into the playoffs "not playing your best basketball". To make the statement "there's no way we should lose this game, unless we don't show up" when the opponent is 35-2 at home, and the road team is on a back to back......... seems illogical.

    Should be an easy win, Warriors can't guard Aldridge.

    I don't think so. They're playing to win.

    It doesn't work like that. Don't be naive. It takes a team to win a basketball player. That's like saying Lillard can't guard Curry so it's an easy win.

    But I do agree that blazers should win and have no excuses
