    I'm still thinking that me we might have a chance... I mean, we play every well last 3 games.

    Our chance for me is Dame have a career high, again. Or CJ and Him play pretty well... but what are you guys thinking?

    Bring that game 6 to our house, Dame!

    I said we would win game 5. Realistically I think we have a 45% chance of winning the game which is pretty dang good considering home court is such a big advantage. Almost a coin flip.

    I find it very hard to believe that we'd win a Game 7 in Oakland. I find our chances as quite decent to win a Game 6 at home, if it got there.

    I don't think it'll get there, but I'm hoping. And I disagree with Draymond that it's ovah. I hope the rest of the team has that attitude, so that they get crushed by 30 again.

    obvs.

    I don't think by any means that saying we don't have a great chance makes a person any less of a fan... Apparently if you don't predict pure wins 82-0 and 16-0 you are not a real fan. Our chances to win another game with Curry back are around 10%. Chances to win 3 of 4 are around .0001%

    I love our team. It would take a major letdown by Golden State to lose on Wednesday; it could happen but I don't put our chances better than 20% to get to game 6.

    I said it before, but if we make it to game 7 thats a victory in itself... The league won't let us win game 7, that is for sure, but that to me is a series victory.

    Also, Draymond Green may be the most unlikeable person/player I can remember in awhile. There's a thing called sportsmanship. Win with class, lose with dignity. He (and Klay) do neither. It's sickening. But, kids are going to see this, and emulate, because they are successful. I hope it doesn't catch on...

    All it takes is a 3 game win streak....not impossible but I'm already overwhelmed with what we've achieved in the playoffs this season...it's all icing on the cake from here on...Go Blazers! If every game is as fun as the last 2 it'll be enjoyable...win or lose

    All it takes is 3 wins against a team that hasn't lost 2 straight all year and has the backing of a corrupt league. lol.

    Unfortunately, it's already been bought. I think we have a 40% chance of winning tomorrow, and then if we actually do, a 60% chance of winning game 6, but a .0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001% chance of winning game 7.

    We were one free throw away from ending that game in regulation, in which case ALL of the talk today would be Lillard's 36/10/6.

    They do have to play the games. One game at a time. No reason to fold now... I think Stotts and the players are going to make next game tough for the Warriors.

    Seria fantástico se pudéssemos puxar este para fora ( Isso é o que ela disse !) , Mas ele simplesmente não vai acontecer FAMS ! Seja contente e feliz que os nossos meninos teve um grande ano e jogou acima expectativas ! Desde que eu tê-lo aqui , você tem sorte que eu mesmo estou respondendo a sua pergunta . Você é um novato e são ainda mais baixos na hierarquia do que esses nerds virgens se você pode imaginar isso. Escapar enquanto você tem a chance e rezo para que você não se transformar em um deles. #RipCity


    Translation:
    It would be fantastic if we were able to pull this one out (That's what she said!) but it just ain't gonna happen FAMS! Be content and happy that our boys had a great year and played way above expectations! Since I have you here, you are lucky I'm even answering your question. You are a rookie and are even lower on the pecking order than these virgin geeks if you can imagine that. Escape while you have the chance and pray you don't turn into one of them. #RipCity

    ...which is really frustrating, seeing as Dame missed 3 of our 9 missed free throws, including two on technical fouls. Ugh--that stuff kills me!

    You think I care rook. The reason I did this was because I did it before on his first post with us. He thought it was funny how bad of a job Google translate did.

    Realistically you think we have a 45% chance of beating the Warriors at home where they have lost once all year? Realistically OBVIOUSLY doesn't mean what you think it means.

    I believe technically they lost two there at home this season. And POR of course should have won game #2 on their floor.

    I think POR has way too much heart this season to be a big dog in this game. So yes I think it is close to a coin flip with how bad our team wants it.
