    Now that you mention it: I think a Pre-Ban is in order on this one.

    The stakes are too high.

    Can't take any chances.

    Lol. Thanks for being considerate of my feelings, but I can handle some constructive criticism.

    I think we have a good chance to pull this off. Golden State really turned the ball over and a lot of them unforced ones.

    Does anyone know what the current Technical count is for the Warriors?

    What about for Zach? I think he's at 3, but I'm not sure.

    I want to know how close the players are to possibly being suspended

    One thing Im worried about is Draymond being Draymond and using more dirty tactics to hurt somebody. That is something we cannot afford. I hope he actually wants to play basketball. Play physical, sure, but dont be the dirty ass bitch you've become for awhile now.

    Draymond is much more likely to go after Kanter's shoulder than Jokic, who did so multiple times until, I'm only guessing here, the league told him to knock it off after the free throw incident. I do know it was night and day different and Jokic completely stopped trying to injure Kanter after that game.

    Anyway, back to Draymond Green.

    Fuck Draymond Green.

    If there was ever a riper time to draw the Warriors, it's now. We gotta steal game 1 and I think we can. Win two in Portland, go up 3-1. Durant says enough, and suits up for game 5 still feeling the effects of his injury. It backfires, as he's rusty and not 100% and literally bricks them out of the game and series. Blazers in 5. Durant and Warriors part bitterly, ready to be done with one another. And the playoff ride gets that much sweeter.

    It's an interested time for Evan Turner to have played his best game of the post season. He looked aggressive and confident, and I could see that carrying over against the Warriors. I've felt one of our issues against the Warriors was a lack of long perimeter athletes to match theirs and maybe that's where Turner can come up big for us on defense. I think this playoff run is the best stretch of defense this Blazer era team has played. They're legitimately good at defense at the moment. Couple that with the Warriors perimeter shooting finally falling back to earth. Lillard will get easier shots against the Warriors and he and CJ might actually out-produce the Splash Brothers. Ironically, this could be our easiest series yet. Yeah, I'm still high off the game and wearing my rose colored shades!

    a few years ago weren't we the 3 seed going into the WCF? beating the 2 seed which was Denver? I believe Golden State got beat by the Lakers that year but the Lakers were not in the play offs so Golden state won

    Civility? Reason? On-line manners?

    There is absolutely no room in this forum for that kind of nonsense. :breakdance:
