    Curry had nagging injuries, Thompson had a nagging injury that he then made much worse, Durant was out....and they still swept us. It was nice sneaking by a 2nd round matchup of a Nuggets team that had almost no playoff experience and whose two biggest stars were 23 and 21, but they weren't close to being a contender. Yes, they had injuries....but so did the Warriors and they were without a much better player than we were.

    Kanter was hurt. Obviously Nurk was already down with a broken leg. We lost because we got smashed on the boards. We definitely could have beaten them with a healthy center.

    Per @wizenheimer : In the close-out playoff series for the Dame-CJ teams since 2015-16, Portland is 1-16 and have lost 14 in a row; and the only win came against the Warriors 4 years ago when Curry didn't play.

    I highly doubt they were winning that series with a healthy Nurkic.

    Kind of think they would have at least gave them a run. Beating them? Who knows? But it would not have been certain for sure.

    With a healthy Nurk we would have crushed them.

    Excellent! That type of optimism makes for easy clean up in the betting department. Never lose that! :cheers:

    I always say Go Blazers and they keep losing. This time I’ll say Go Knicks and maybe they can win.

    I’m just the opposite here.
    Blazers win this by 20+ is my prediction.

    Jesus christ how is it that OKC has a better team than Portland? EVERYONE was predicting them to just be awful. I am at a loss here. Baffled. Stunned. Speechless.
    What is a path to real change? Patience??
