    Why is it hilarious? You seem to enjoy the Blazers losing.

    I actually had a big issue with how the game was ref'd. So much so I turned it off for the 4th quarter.
    They were letting them play on both ends. But.. There's a line.

    Lopez played like shit, missing rebounds in your area is not excusable....
    At this point D-Wright can't come back fast enough so we can play small ball w/ Aldridge....
    I personally come the off season... I'd look for other options outside of Lopez.

    I finished the game this morning, passed out before halftime, and usually I like few fouls to be called in a game but its really to GSW advantage when the game isnt slowed down and they get to run off of everything.
    That being said when we let a team shoot damn near 50% from 3 we are going to get blown out. Infact in our last 9 losses we have allowed teams to shoot over 42% from the field and 5 of the 9 we'v let shoot 50% or better.

    I DVR'd the game and watched it late. I don't have the strength to read the game thread, which I usually enjoy. Just a couple of thoughts:

    Kaman sucked.

    Curry is amazing.

    I didn't realize the Warriors flopped and used moving screens and down field blocking as much as the Clippers.

    It would be nice if Aldridge would pass out of pressure once in a while when teammates are wide open for better shots, instead of jacking up hopeless contested prayers. (I get he's the focal point of the offense, and we need him to score, but he could use better decision making and less hero ball sometimes.)

    CJ is the real deal, and getting better.

    Laimbiebs is good and getting better.

    Crabbe will be next season's CJ.

    Whatever else I thought about watching the game is now forgotten.

    On to the next one!!

    :cheers:

    There were people here who thought Dame was better than Steph earlier this season.

    smh


    But ya, Afflalo's injury is the last straw. Get the playoffs out of the way, get healthy and work on getting this team back and better for next season. I feel like our team is following the GS plan. Get bounced by the Spurs in the second round in a relatively healthy season, not do too well the following year because of health, coaching, players peaking, etc etc, then the next year, ball out.

    Only thing is who is our Steve Kerr? And does Terry get the axe with a first round exit like Mark Jackson did?

    But through force of personality and volume of posting, it can seem like there's more than one of him. ;)

    I laughed at the TNT announcers last night saying "if Justin Beiber were 7 feet tall, that's what he'd look like."

    Do they read this board?

    I'm not trying to say reffing is why the Blazers lost the game.
    But personally I don't like watching the two teams on the court's best players get mugged attacking the rim, or before they touch the ball.. and nothing getting called...
    Just because they're finishing through the contact...
    Then when they do call something both coaches be like. "wtf you haven't called it all game, why you calling it now?".
    It's really bothersome to me and that is what makes the NBA unwatchable at times for me.

    Im not saying the reffing is why we lost either. Just pointing out the way it was called greatly benefited GS and it wont be called like that in the playoffs.
    Im a fan of the way the game was called if that was the norm but that game was an abnormality and not the norm.

    Curry is really good at this thing called shooting threes. Also crabbe and Lillard turned it over as well.
