Game Thread PLAYOFFS: ROUND 1, GAME 1: BLAZERS @ WARRIORS - 4/16/17, SUNDAY, 12:30 PM (PDT), ABC

I think there were some issues in team discipline in 4th. I mean per exampl - 3:00 left - Green misses 3pointer, Turner gets rebound, Lill wants the ball. Now - Turner doesn't even look at Dame. Instead, he fuckin runs all the way and loses the ball. This stuff happened at least twice - Lillard wants the ball, but Turner ignores it. Who is the leader in this team!? I hate shit like this. We had them close until we started to panic and run into them like we were NCAA.
Even Aminu was more patient then Turner this time.
It was game of confidence. When we were confident Curry was scared.

 

I agree and disagree. I think it was a crap shoot to try and give it to Lillard anyways; GS cracked down hard on their Defense and smothered Lillard. And he also tried driving into the paint several times and turned it over.

But I do agree with you that there needs to be better discipline and leadership on this team. And it starts at the top.

 

Just because they locked Lillard it doesn't mean Turner takes over the team and runs like Forrest Gump losing the ball with 20sec on the clock. I think this panic could cost us this game. Don't panic - Dame and CJ are tougher mentally then Curry and Klay. Durant is weak mind as well. They got Green obviously and I can't wait Nurk takin him down. But we need to stay solid as a rock. Turner fucked this up.

 

You also know I'm not wrong

 

I thought he played?

 

BroLo?

 

Well the last time you got frustrated with the team you said you were going to watch porn and beat off we started winning and had a sizable lead so.....................

 

And one more thing. About how professional this team is. Imagine some real basketball hungry player (I can't imagine no one more hungry then Westbrook) thinking about 500grand bonus, stop shooting threes for few games and then, all of sudden, hitting 1 for 6 in first playoffs game. Good lord! WTF?

That was the problem of ours all season long. Stotts thinking about nice jackets and Mayers about his dog. Lillard was same (rap game, shoes) case at some point. I love Lillard. I'm just saying WTF you guys thinking about?

Can you spot the difference between us and Spurs?


I think CJ is our Westbrook. Looks like he's 100% committed to the GAME.

All in all I hate how "funny" was that - "Yeah Mo! Take that money!" ....and then you go 1 for 6. Players I want in this team? Basketball hungry players.

 

"Being able to play 41 games a year" is the only skill he's missing.

 

We are young as hell and they have played together for 15 years?

 

There have only been 2 yrs when he's been hurt for extended periods of time (missed 61 games in 11-12, and 65 games in 13-14). Outside of that, his every other year he has played: 82,82, 82, 74, 72, 73, 75 games.

 

The two years the Blazers show interest in him as a center, he magically injures himself... the conspiracy grows!

 

I know you know we need some vets, but if we don't want them, maybe we just start to take the game seriously? You know I'm rite.

 

This was a great game, we looked good but we made some mental errors in the end to let it slip away. Doesn't matter, one game is behind us, need to look forward, keep playing strong and good things will come

 

I was really proud of how the Blazers played them so close for 3 quarters without Nurkic. It was really CJ and Dame doing it by themselves. People crap on them about their defense, but how often do the opposing guards outscore them? It's the supporting cast, not them that's the problem. I just hope we get a chance to see what we're capable of with Nurkic. If we had had Nurk, this game would have been very close in the least.

 

I didn't get to see the game.

How much did we win by?

 

-12, beat the spread!

 

I forgot - I also wanted to say that Klay ain't shit!

 

Play is one of the best two way guards in the game. You really believe this?
