Game Thread GAME# 55: WARRIORS @ BLAZERS - FEBRUARY 19, 2016 - FRIDAY, 7:00 PM (PST), CSNNW

I am glad the Blazers left their regulars in, I've seen teams try to coast way too early, and we've all seen 15 point swings in under 2 minutes.

 

Another interesting factoid:

We went from losing to the worst team in the league by 25, to beating the best team by 32 in just 1 month.

Makes me think about the NFL, and how their playoffs are one and done. Anything can happen in one game.

 

Yea i wish the playoffs would got back to five games in the first round. Seems like upsets don't happen anymore. But I guess that's the purpose.

 

Totally agree - it's beyond ridiculous for them to complain at all. They blow out teams on an almost nightly basis and have also come back from some large deficits to win so no lead is safe against GSW. And on top of that, you're that goddamned defending champs and are trying to break the record for most wins in a season - so when you get your ass kicked by a team that played a phenomenal game, take it like men.

 

No way, man. I love this 7 game series stuff. Sure you miss the occasional Cinderalla fluke story, but it's the best way to reveal the better team in a series.

 

The playoffs are too long. It's almost like the regular season is pre-season. Only but the most inept teams are eliminated.

 

It is kinda crazy how the playoffs are like two months long

 

And no team can go on a run like that, and has, than GS. They sure were butt-hurt that the Blazers did to them what they've been doing to other teams all year.
