    Here's an odd thought. Instead if just running Dame into traps by always running a ball screen while the other 3 stand and watch, let's have the guys off the ball move around a little and screen for each other and look to get good shots.

    They no more have lost this game as they had it won at half.

    You have to give credit to the Warriors for pushing the ball and creating rotation issues. Wish Portland would do that more often.

    That's not a fucking foul. Refs are so obviously biased against Zach

    Atleast we don't have to worry about trying to find cap space to resign Aminu

    See a clean block on a shot and then call it awful defense. Smart Mark Jackson, smart.

    Good game. Portland dominated the 2nd half and a good come back by GSW in the 3rd.
