    They swept us without their best player KD.

    Nobody with any sense thought we were a threat to them.

    They swept us with our starting center's leg snapped off and a backup with a broken collarbone who couldn't eat or drink water during the daytime for the whole series....I'd say we were at a disadvantage..and Dame's abdominal strain began with that series. We were gassed after the Denver marathon with 4 OTs...or whatever it was...that was a grind before we had the Warriors
    We limped into that finals on CJs stellar performance in Denver

    Even if we had Nurkic and a healthy Kanter (how was Kanter in the playoffs this year?), they had Durant out. Durant is the best player in the league. Was top 3ish that year.

    Also Meyers scored 30 in game 4.

    No Chance. Swept.

    That was like getting wasted (and I apologize given your history... just for metaphors sake) and go and finally get laid that night. Freaking great in the moment, but then you realize you just slept with Rosie O'Donnells stunt double.

    Wait. So for the Denver series it was great to overcome, but for GS it's an excuse?

    Smh my head.

    Dame had separated ribs too. And it showed.

    You mean the one that Lillard said wasn't affecting his game?

    Just stop. They swept us and had their best player out. Cousins was out. Iggy was battling injuries.

    No, actually the facts of life was just a tv show.

    but at least now i know the true definition of what a fact is.
    Now i need to go write websters and tell them that they have the definition wrong and its a fact. I was informed so by you. ;)

    Nurk was a beast that year and helped the Blazers to a 2 - 2 record vs. GS with Durant. You stop, and get to the litter box right now! You're obviously constipated and cranky.

    We have been through this convo like 10 pages back.

    Playoff basketball and regular season basketball is not the same thing.

    Didn't say it was. But with no Durant in that series, had the Blazers had Nurk, i believe they would have beat the Warriors that year. Nurk was a way different force than he's been since the injury. Hopefully the "magical" 2 years removed theory pans out for him & us, and Billips & Staff get more from him. But you can't say NO WAY the Blazers "With" a healthy Nurk, couldn't have advanced. Cause none of us know. It's the NO WAY B.S. that we object to. Meow.

    Ric bucher was just in Colin cowherd talking about the draymond Kd interview yesterday. Thought it was really weird how draymond through Steve Kerr abd bob myers under the bus..said there was no reason to do that and now there’s a lot of damage control going on.
    He said….one reason draymond might’ve did this was because he may want to move on. Said that draymond put himself in jeopardy of being a warrior.
    and….brought up how close dame and draymond are how bad dame wants him in Portland.

    just some drama to spice up the day

    Just because a trade hasn't happened doesn't mean he's hesitant to pull the trigger. :dunno:

    It seems to me that he isn't making a trade just to make a trade.

    You think he wants to pay what Moron is asking for the guy who shoots with the wrong hand?

    Yup. I think it happens. Who knows. Maybe the Warriors take CJ. They were talking about trying to add Dame, so maybe they think it can work with their team.

    I think if it happens, it's done in a 3 team deal, bringing Simmons to GS. CJ to Philly, Green to the Blazers. I think that helps Philly & Portland for sure. It's to be seen, if Mr. Nightlife really cares about the game.

    I certainly think that 3 way trade makes the most sense if simmons throws a fit about coming to Portland. I just wonder if GSW go screw it, we like Wiseman, Kuminga, Moody too much to let them go and we will incorporate CJ into our team instead of consolidating for Ben.

    If it happens, and is a 1-1 deal, that would open up space to use the full MLE. If there's anyone worth it.
