    question - anyone watch FaceBrooke Live - prior to the game? on fb (obviously) with brooke olzendam?

    pretty cool if you havent, she gets a ton of guests on there - michael holton answer a question from me about dame being a bit more aggressive in driving to the rim etc, even meyers had a good segment talking about the need to set harder picks on GSW as they are picking on our lil guys any chance they get.

    goes for about an hr - worth a watch if you're amping up for the game!

    I'm just going to sit back and enjoy the victory. We won the summer league title and no one can take that away from us.

    We need to step on the gas coming out of halftime. Im worried that they'll come out with two threes and cut the lead to 9 in only a couple minutes.

    Because this is the WCF and thats one of the greatest teams of all time you're going against.
    They gotta play like they're behind cos thr warriors are gonna have a run or three.
    Gutcheck from here on.
    Blazers got this, but it wont be easy.

    Even if shots aren't falling, we can't afford turnovers otherwise...............

    Chief is 9 and 6
    Draymond is 8 and 6
    Looney is 7 and 2
    Thompson is 9 and 1...….so Chief is outplaying each of those 3 in the first half...go figure

    Watching this game makes me sooooooooooooooooooooooo disappointed that Portland doesn't have Jusuf Nurkic available.

    I am not worried about Aminu missing 3 point shots as long the rest of his game is there.

    So they are going to come out and double down on overplaying on defense to create turnovers, and they will likely start pulling a bunch of 3s out of their asses. We've got to be ready, take care of the ball, and rebound when they miss.

    Gotta get those gimmies we missed in the first half. You can't give them any slack or they will step in your throat.
