    I am looking for a different look from Curry. He did not play for over 2 weeks but then had to pull 36 mins. His average throughout the season was 25. I will be looking for how his shot hits the rim on misses. If he comes out hitting the front of the rim then i believe the Blazers need to keep him running as much as they possibly can.

    They aren't going to roll over. You just have to go by the statistics to make a decent logical decision. While anything could happen, the stats are that the Warriors have only lost 2 games at home all season, Curry didn't play the first 3 games, and the Trailblazers went 15 and 28 on the road with the majority of wins against losing teams.
    With the OKC/Spurs series at least going 6, Kerr will want the DUBS to finish this series and rest, so they will have a good plan tonight. Not to mention that with Curry's return, Portland's defense has to play much differently than the first 3 games.

    So based on that 1 win, within the last minute of the game, you're throwing out logic on statistics? Stats don't lie.

    If stats didn't lie, then SAS would have won.

    Play the games. :)

    I'll commend Portland for playing much harder than the Rockets did. I'm baffled by how some want Dwight Howard on the Trail Blazers. Dude has no heart and hasn't really helped any team very much based on his contracts. Ask the Lakers.

    The rockets don't play hard because of Harden, not because of Howard.

    Not saying there aren't probabilities. Just stating that based on statistics, the likelyhood of a visiting team playing in Oracle and winning are VERY VERY LOW. Would you have bet that OKC would win in San Antonio last night or did you think like most that the Spurs would have won? I'm guessing the latter.

    blazers are the only team to beat them twice this season
    blazers handed them their worst loss this season
    why not add their first home playoff loss to that as well?

    How about we just let them play the game. I really don't give a FLYING FUCK about your statistics and logical decision making. This is a FUCKING BLAZER forum. So take your bullshit somewhere else until this game is over. Oh yeah and if by chance the Blazers happen to win this game you better show your Fucking Face and talk all about your 'Logical Decision' making and statistics.
    I will be all gracious in the way i treat you then :comppunch:

    I just don't want to get blown out. I want to see our guys fight. I want them to make Golden State work for it. I don't want to go quietly into the night.

    I was just about to post a bit more polite version of this.

    @Dubsfan you're welcome to post here but trying to correct Blazer fans optimism in a Blazer forum is a fools task.
