    Yes there is plenty of reason to be down, you gave up a 17 point lead in like 4 minutes, and a built it back up to 10(maybe 8), and let it die in 3 minutes again... You dont get a lot of chances to steal home court and that was Portland’s.

    Damn this shit to hell. First time in 20 yrs my team is in the conference finals and I have to listen to fucking Jon Barry orgasming on radio over curry three point shots. Worst day ever. Fuck you universe. Wtf did I do to deserve this? Karma my ass. We better fucking win this series after this bullshit.

    I wish we had Nurk so we could measure the team against this version of the Warriors. They still outclass us without KD and that’s a real bummer.

    And a flexible defense.

    With a great coach, we'd go to the Finals this year. Depressing.

    Watch his defense over those last four minutes - Leonard cost us the game!

    Your team didn't get a foul called on them in the last seven minutes. You got help

    The last play illustrated this perfectly with Iggy and Dame.

    Eh, I disagree. We were using him to trap. It was the guard/wing that was supposed to be in the post that put up zero effort to contest the shot. Meyers was out beyond the three point line.

    CJ cost us the game.

    This Warriors team is beatable as hell. Without Durant they're really not that good. They're going to get crushed by Toronto or Milwaukee.

    You mean when he doubled Curry and the weakside defender did not switch to cover? I guess you want him to Leave curry open for 3's. That didn't work in game 1 not going to work tonight.

    No he didnt the backside rotations or lack there of cost us the game. It looks bad for Leonard but he’s playing 2 vs 1 when Steph comes around the screen and all the weakside guys just stand and watch him.

    No it was Terry not calling a timeout late in the fourth. Portland was up 8 and he allowed them to go on an a 11-3 run before he called timeout. By then it was too late.

    First half was pretty even and then they started dry humping Dame all second half and the only guy the refs had the balls to call on was that mckinnie scrub. The difference ended up being the FT count. Not that we missed too many but that we got 9 fewer despite GS playing far more physical in defense.

    Why did Aminu start the 2nd half?

    Couldn't watch the game? What was different to game 1? How was the Defense on Curry this time? Did we trap or double team him?
