    Way too fucking many offensive rebounds. They're barely missing, but when they do, they get it back half the time.

    You were saying the rest of these playoffs mean nothing. Like we've already accomplished something. Championship or bust!

    We just need to use this game to figure out matchups and what could work in game two. We did the same thing against the Clips. I just hope we can keep it somewhat competitive. I don't want to see us get completely destroyed.

    Ugh. Might as well just let them have two shots every time...

    Dame's defense has actually been pretty good. He's had high energy.

    Some people on here expect us to win a title or something this year. We lived up to the us against the world narrative and now we are facing the probable back to back champs here. I'm sure it will be more competitive in Portland but any logical fan knows that the Warriors are gonna win this series whether it's in 4,5, or 6 games.

    Warriors aren't impressing me at all. They hit a few threes and you guys freaked out. We're fine.

    I feel like he actually is strong on defending in the post. I mean, if a player is tall enough to shoot over him, there isn't much he can do, but he doesn't just cave in and give ground easily and keeps them in front of him for the most part.

    On the perimeter or anything involving screens though, he's bad.

    Eric you need to stop. Some of us are trying to stay sane by having very low expectations for this series. The alternative is to get really upset when we get destroyed by 30 points.

    Didn't D Green just back CJ down for 12 feet while clearing him out with his off arm right in front of everyone and get a foul on CJ?

    Is this what you guys watch these days?

    Exactly. And if we win this game, that's gravy.

    aminu hasn't shown me much besides defense and a very inconsistent threes ball. If we could get a scoring wing and have him as backup then I'm down. o wish we could grab whiteside. He's an elite defensive player and could still develop an offensive game. Fits the mold of young but character has yet to be fully determined.

    It's offensive rebounds that are killing us right now.

    We're dominating this quarter. Warriors are confused.
