I heard (didnt see it) that buchard and a couple other talking head / media types did pretty much laugh and say yeah the Blazers will lose in 4 or 5.
Thats right, Im actually surprised so many have jumped on the band wagon! lol Oh well, once we either win the whole enchilada or get bounced, it will be back to forum fodder.
The players need to focus on one game at a time. Us fans can focus or talk about any of them, we aren't on the team.
If it helps. They did everything I wanted for the year. Im gonna be a lot nicer this summer. That said I hope they beat GS!!!!
I been bouncing over to Warriors Forums. They are really nice right now. All respect for Dame and talking about how Portland is a gutsy little team from up north. Then they go on to say Warriors in Five because they need to be nice about not disrespecting Dame and the NBA will mandate it. Pompous doesn't really cover it? And they don't think Curry (Seth) can even hold Steph's jock. I wonder what Seth has to say about that?
I'm real nice in the summer around here. I mean like 20 comments in 3 months nice. Those come after the draft and when trades start. A couple about summer league. Then one or two about training camp.
I remember Shaq at end of his career it wasn't pretty. Out of shape pulling ever muscle you can think of he was pathetic looking out there. Plus he would only play half year in most cases due to he was so far out of shape most of the time.
We got good chance be the first team to win a summer league champions and NBA champions back to back.
Quotes from NBA.com...series preview "Seriously, though, Durant returning from a strained calf (which is the more likely scenario than Cousins) will impact the series greatly in Golden State’s favor. If Cousins recovers from his quad injury as well, then it gets to be a really unfair fight -- and likely a Warriors’ sweep" "Meanwhile, the Warriors are bringing the usual cast of characters (minus Durant for the time being) and also have home court. Again, if Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green don’t become complacent and overconfident, this could be the least suspenseful conference finals in recent memory -- if it isn’t already."
I couldn’t stand watching Murray laughing at us in the 2nd quarter yesterday; I predict we’ll get the last laugh - again! PS: check out the Denver Nuggets board
Well I definitely think we have some quality tradeable young assets that can entice another team into taking on some of our ending contracts....if they know they are losing their star player regardless. Zach, Simons and a 1st along with ET, Hark, and Leonard should work. The question is how many of those assets and for who? AD would not be a sign and trade, but I bet we are looking better to him as well.
and from the SF Chronicle.... "The Warriors in 5 — Although the Blazers are capable of winning a game against Golden State, they don’t have the talent to seriously test the Warriors in a best-of-seven series. Portland’s best hope of making things interesting is that Golden State simply doesn’t play with urgency."
I don’t give a crap about the sportswriters’ predictions. They have underestimated the Blazers at every turn all season long. What I care about is Dame and CJ leading the Blazers to their full potential, maximizing the individual talents of all of their teammates and hitting the Warriors with an intensity that knocks them backwards. If that happens, win or lose I’m happy and proud of this team beyond expression.
Yeah, he liked to start slow and 'play himself into shape' in time for the playoffs, LOL "Man up" indeed.
So, apparently, it seems, maybe, the Blazers are the underdogs? In every single season and every single playoff matchup? Shouldn't the league 'like' a good underdog story? They should put a small 'UD' on their jersey's.
