    Do you think this series would even be close if it was the 73 win team?

    I kind of hope the warriors start talking shit and thinking they have this won. Give us some extra motivation to punch them in the mouth and show we deserve to be here.

    Show the guys this clip for Game 3:


    change Johan Cruijff with Paul Allen.

    Let's do it guys, one game at a time, without Durant they're not invincible.

    Phil Jackson, Mitch Kupchak, and Rich Cho off the top of my head in that same month were all worse.

    It blows my mind if this team needs extra motivation in the WCF

    I getting to think he might have to with Zach and Leonard in the middle. Yes Kanter grab few rebounds but his defense been non existent this series.

    Blazers just need to get back to Portland and win game three. Nothing else really matters at this point. Win a game.

    He couldn't answer Kerry's question about what play it was because he didn't call a play. He said there wasn't enough time.

    I am never going to get over being up 6 and losing a possession because Kanter was standing up on the bench in his damn jersey. What a colassal fuck up.

    Aminu just has to go. Can't win a champiosnhip with him as a starting PF unless you have a super team which we do not.

    I always said I was happy with this team no matter what and nothing will change that. These group of guys have accomplished so much and made me proud. Even without KD these guys are still good. Fully healthy I think we could have stolen at least tonight and maybe even gotten game 1. But injuries and Aminu being a liability has killed us.

    At this point, I let them both walk and bring back Hood with the Full MLE.

    Try and acquire good role players that can shoot and defend and make plays/pass a little bit (guys like Olynyk and Prince).

    It might seem crazy to normal people but athletes talk about extra motivation from things all the time.

    That one right there was crazy. You could see Turner and Curry talking about it after the fact.
