    So Iguodala may or may not play in game 4.

    We're winning the war of attrition. Moral victory.

    Maybe we'll wear down another of their players. Beat them by game 23.

    I think we will win one; Blazers have a lot of pride and resilience, and GS may let up a little.

    Time to put that 9 game losing streak in the playoffs against the Warriors to rest.
    Win game 4

    I don't see how Dame can play without risk of making the injury worse. I'm sure he wants to play, and if it was game 7, maybe you take that gamble. Under these circumstances - how do you justify it? Shutting Dame down may seem like running up the white flag, but risking his health in a meaningless game (yes, I said it!) is irresponsible.

    I legit just want to see Simons, Trent. Jr, Jake, Zach / Meyers and Skal. Rewards them with real WCF experience.

    I'm torn on this game

    The team needs a massive ovation so I kinda want this to end at home. I have no doubt GS would end it in 5 even if we win #4.

    Otoh, the sweep is embarrassing no matter how you slice it.

    I want a win. No starting the end of the bench. I want another double digit lead and i want them to put them away. Force game five.

    I want a blowout win that sucks the life out of Golden State in front of our home crowd! I don't care who plays, just blow them out! Make a splash for once in this series!

    I would like to see Turner, start instead of Aminu. He can be the primary ball handler up the court.
    They won't dare double him and CJ/Dame could be freed up by some backscreens. Oh yeah and have Collins start as well.
