    I think the biggest issue for this team is the players who play small.

    Not Damian and CJ, but Meyers Vonleh, Crabbe, Aminu and Hark.

    You can survive if a few of them do, but they play like they're scared and weak. They almost looked like players who didn't want to even be there for most of the game.

    Part of that was by design on the part of the Dubs. Take away Damian and CJ to the extent they did in the second half and dare the role-players to beat you.

    At the end of the day, the Warriors are a team that is afraid and insecure about themselves.

    I mean, people say "one game over-reaction" but you literally just did that.... it's one game. They didn't give them $230 mil for this ONE game. It's not game 7 of the finals.

    Sorry for the rant guys. I'm so pissed at "our" role players, who wanted to get paid in the summer. They got paid ... and stopped working on their game.

    Dame and CJ showed up.

    Biggest pro: Leonard never played after that joke of a stint. Whether it was because of small ball or whatever... keep him off the floor.

    when I first had my symptoms, I missed a week+ of work. good way to lose weight, thats for sure.

    word to the guys in the forum...if your pee starts to look like cranberry juice, that's not good.

    Proud of my guys.

    The refs took us out in the 4th. I can be allright knowing the warriors alone couldn't beat us. 8 on 5

    We got this

    I'm not sure their game plan was to hope the 2nd best 3 point shooter in the league is shook.

    That was the Dubs, not the refs. I thought this was a very well-called game.

    The refs didn't take us out of anything. We were 1-11 to start the fourth. Don't blame the refs. Blame our role players. Aminu, Crabbe, etc.

    the crazy thing is that neither Dame nor CJ was balling out of their minds. They shot more than normal, yeah, but they weren't making stuff they don't normally or getting easy shots they won't get again.

    Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum are the first Blazers teammates with 34+ points in the playoffs since 5/19/92 vs. Utah (Drexler/Porter).

    Their defense took over plain and simple. Props to our all world backcourt once again, but just wasn't enough.
