    Yeah, it's pretty disgusting they are letting them get away with shit like that.

    Chill, Micky. It was off the cuff and we've up at half on the road.

    Do the Blazers need Grant and Brogdon when the other guys are all healthy?
    Ant takes Grant's place in shooting.
    I don't know if Brogdon should be playing in this game unless Scoot fouls out.
    Scoot needs minutes and Brogdon is 0-3 shooting.

    We're competing with a Warriors team who is currently 11th in the West. Some of us want this team to build a contender that should be ready to compete at the highest level in a few years instead of holding onto win now guys just to avoid the pain of too many losses.

    Murray's pump fake to set up for a better looking 3 looked really good. Didn't go in, but I was shocked that it didn't. It was right on line.

    Murray has looked pretty good to me, particularly on defense.

    And some of them resulted in us still scoring on the putback.

    Don't remember if it was Steph or CP on Murray on that possession, but by the time Kris got the 3 off, they were like 5 feet to his right after doing a full 360 lol. That's definitely encouraging.

    Stinks to see your bad-take narrative keep taking hits, but that team still has Steph, Klay, Draymond, Wiggins, Kerr, made it to the conference semis last year, won it all two years ago and is playing at home. As bad as you say they are on the small sample size, you wouldn't think we should be in this game.

    Now, if I were in your shoes, I'd probably just suck it up and enjoy that we're doing well and had the Warriors shaking their head more in one half than we have in a long time, not getting your panties in a bunch because you feel the need to keep defending a bad take. But that's just me.

    Warriors have the same core that is 1-12 against us in the playoffs. This is an impressive effort.

    Matisse Thybulle playing defense is so fun to watch. His instincts and anticipation are amazing. Sometimes it seems like he knows where the offensive player is passing even before the player does.

    No one wants to get rid of the young guys and they’re the ones that are playing so well.

    What makes you think anyone is giving anything up for DA if he's getting traded for a second time from a teamthat's not even in the playoff race currently? Yeah, definitely a hot take LOL.

    Reath isn't a starter on a good team. He's a better starter than Eubanks, but he's not a good starter.
