    Curry's regular season streak of 157 straight regular season games with a 3 is 3:00 minutes from being over.

    You have to love this. People are freaking out because the Blazers are 3-3 and yet there's the Warriors sitting at 4-2. How long did it take for them to lose their first game last year? How long until they lost their second? :rotfl:

    Asking Blazer fans to root for the Lakers for any reason whatsoever is pure and utter blasphemy......learn the emotions, then post!

    Curry isn't playing like Curry.

    5-17 from the field, 0-10 from three.

    In all seriousness, I'm sure GS will continue to be the favorite as the year progresses and they'll gel together and start playing better but they need to find some way to find a player who can rebound and lock down the paint. They're going to continue to be exposed down there.

    Clearly Durant is slaying his mojo. Kd for Et is fair, no? Portland will even send a Greg Ogden rookie card on the deal

    I was shocked they let him go. He was the textbook definition of a glue guy for them.

    They had to let Bogut go to clear up cap space so they could sign Durant.

    It seems like a really smart move on paper, but...

    Getting KD very well might work out for them in the long run, but I don't understand basically blowing up the team that broke the wins record. It seems very very risky.

    He wasn't curry in the first half of our game either - then he was in the 2nd half.

    I know the game is well over, but I'm just sayin - it doesn't take long for him to become Curry again.

    Just like with Lillard.

    I agree. You have to take KD of course, but it doesn't look like they changed their game at all. The ball used to move very well, now there's a ton of KD hero-ball and dudes just standing around. I don't think they realized how important Bogut was for 2nd chance points either.

    The Heat had a shaky start when they first acquired their big 3. Golden State will work it out and games like their second half against us will be more common. But it is fun watching Steph Curry struggle. I don't know why but he really rubs me the wrong way.
