    You know I always give you shit, but you do a great job on these threads bro.
    One thing, is tough to put the players updated season stats next to their head shots? Curious how Dame is doing compared to Stef thru three games.

    Lillards head is cut off by the pinwheel, so 9.5 out of 10 on the thread. Seriously though, great work, looks amazing, should be a fun game.

    We really need to stop fouling.

    My only problem with the layout for this game is that GS got top billing and they don't need anymore exposure at this point...but still.....great thread DW!

    This sounds like a job for Meyers Leonard.

    Impressive thread. Very nice.

    I usually sell my tickets to the games that appeal to a national audience. I hate sitting near fans of the other teams, particularly when they are local Portland people, so I prefer to watch from the comfort of my La-Z-Boy on my tv. But there has been no interest in these tickets and there is a lot of inventory of tickets remaining for this game. Has the bandwagon moved on? Historically, I have had difficulty selling tickets to Kevin Durant and the OKC, so perhaps his presence on GSW is killing my ticket sales. It looks like I will be attending this game and I am looking forward to sitting near all my fellow Blazers fans at the Moda Center. Go Blazers.

    Sly, can I give him the rookie treatment? Now that HCP is over the hill at being the over the hill guy.

    They're all still recovering from the broken ankles suffered when they had to switch to being Cavs fans after that ill-fated 3-1 lead....

    Klay Thompson has become marginalized behind Steph and KD.
    Warriors have no interior defense.
    Philly has no shooting guards, and 3 lottery centers.
    Blazers have a defensively-challenged backcourt.

    IF IT WERE POSSIBLE, which team says no on a proposed trade sending CJ to Philly, Crabbe and Noel to Golden State, and Klay to Portland?

    You have a very low opinion of Noel, I take it.

    I think we should win this game. The Warriors aren’t that good yet. Now, if we were playing this game a few months from now, that would be a different story. But I think there's no reason we should win this game especially at home

    I see plenty of reason that we shouldn't win this game. There's nowhere to hide Dame defensively. Previously, we could have Dame guard Barnes or Iguodala. With this iteration of the Warriors, we have no choice but to have Dame attempt to guard someone who can/will torch him. Unless his defensive effort is stepped up massively over the span of the entire game, there's a very good chance that we won't be able to keep up with them.

    God, I'm just thinking about how Kerr is going to exploit Stotts' penchant for switching on screens. Prepare for Dame guarding KD all night long! (Stotts HAS to be smart enough to not let that happen, right? Right?)
