    We should steal Curry's MVP trophy and ransom it for a draft pick.

    But, you know, all those missed free throws mean nothing.

    We've earned respect league wide and we'll be better next year.

    I was doing lip reading but it looked obvious. It was right as they stopped shaking hands.

    EDIT: Checked again. Definitely what he said.

    Good series. Games 2-5 were very competitive, just a couple FTs or calls, or baskets would have totally swung the series. In the record book, it goes down as 4-1 victory, but this series isn't going back to Portland with us up 3-2, by the skin of our teeth. And we could have put them away in Portland with how this series went.

    I've never been so proud of a Portland Trail Blazer team. I'm just so floored, we were given the surprise of all surprise seasons! Hats off fellas! On to free agency! Just remember, 2016-17 is our 40th anniversary of the championship squad... Stars could align.

    We did at the end of regulation in Game 4, and Barnes tied the game with a 3.

    If I were a Warriors fan, I'd be a bit concerned about barely beating a 44 win team.

    I am glad Lillard struggled with his shot a little actually. He will come back next year with that fixed for sure. He is the last person to rest on his laurels.

    I absolutely love Dame. My wife even got my son and I matching jerseys today!

    That being said, his hero ball frustrated me at the end with CJ on fire in the fourth quarter. Either way, we wouldn't have gotten this far without him, but I hope that he can slow down on his "Dame Time" attempts and try feeding the hot hand in the future.

    Aminu, Harkless and Crabbe all played great games. This clears up who won't be re-signed: Henderson. Really like the guy but he didn't do it in the clutch.

    Man free throws. They just killed us. We would have had the lead. That's the number one thing we need to work on.

    Reminds me of the Golden State San Antonio series a few years ago when the Warriors lost 4-2 but brought it against what would be the world Champs. Hopefully we are on the rise as well.

    Nice to stand toe to toe with the champs and give them a run. Hard work in the offseason will do this blazer team well.
