    A grand for that game will only get you into the cheap seats. If you want good seats you're going to have to come up with $5 Thousand to $10 Thousand bucks per seat for a game 7 against the Warriors.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    They have Bogut. Center like Kanter are the entire reason they signed Bogut--he's no good against teams that go small.

    As for how to slow Golden State--they may have to go small, heh. I hate the idea of Kanter getting pulled into pick-and-rolls, especially if the end result is him defending Curry in space. Their core lineup may have to be something like Lillard/McCollum/Harkless/Hood/Aminu, if Hood is okay. That still leaves matchup problems, especially when Durant returns, but it's probably their best chance to switch and hang defensively.

    I like our chances.
    They have nobody to shut down Kanter (Nurk would destroy them) we have fouls and bruises to give Durant and no fucking way Dame isn't gonna be the best player in the series.

    I just read this stat - is it accurate?

    In the past two years, we have played GS 7 times, and have won ... 4!

    No fucking way in hell Lillard isn't gonna be the best player out there. You forgot the "in hell" part.

    Bogut is gonna get worked by one armed Kanter. Cousins though? Is he expected back?

    No way KD plays. He’s definitely out until at the earliest Game 5. He’s not even close to ready to play yet.

    Nah, I think he is back game 1.... Boogie will give it a go too, that worries me with Kanter’s D but Boogie is terrible in transition so it could benefit us too, so who knows.

    In the regular season. The Playoffs are quite different. They are 1-8 in their last 9 in the post-season against the Warriors.

    If Boogie plays our bigs has to run him. He out of shape and probably why got hurt last time. The trouble with Durant more likely he won't have no lift if was hurt has bad has they say it was.

    Best way to beat the Warriors is to go back to Portland up 2-0

    Any word on Durant? Absent word to the contrary I don’t expect us to face KD at all this series.

    Collins has to get under their skin again. He should start on draymond and just get in his jersey all game, get some blocks, and talk shit. Play like a beast. And I think they can win this.

    And I’m sure there is a certain amount of pride that is going to boil over with Seth, he is gonna play his damn heart out against his bro.

    We got a shot.
