    2 seasons ago, Warriors have 6th best record in West and lose in first round
    last season, Warriors win championship

    2 seasons ago, Blazers pulled first round upset and then lost to Spurs in 2nd round
    Last season, Blazers have 6th best record in West and lose in first round

    Key difference, we don't have a crappy coach holding us back as an easy fix.

    I've been away, so I have an excuse for not seeing our obscure 2nd-rounder Patty Connaughton turn into their obscure 2nd-rounder/triple-double machine all-star Draymond Green. :dunno: But anything's possible!

    We'll be lucky to even make the playoffs after this.

    We didn't upset the rockets. That was about as even as possible.

    Correlation doesnt mean causation.

    And...I've seen both the Warriors and Blazers play in person. In fact, I've seen the Warriors and Blazers play in the same game, in the same building, at the same time! In fact fact, Speed was there too:

    Always love the Speed's optimism - but this year in particular he's making a lot of people eat crow!
