Game Thread PLAYOFFS - ROUND 2, GAME 2: BLAZERS @ WARRIORS - 5/3/16, TUESDAY, 7:30 PM (PDT), TNT

i blame our last loss on espn_hall_of_famer for not letting Darkwebs do the game thread....

 

Very excited for tonight. I was impressed how our guys never really quit in game 1. We actually hung with them after that initial offensive explosion they threw at us. Hope AC brings it again. I believe CJ will find his shot again. We have to steal one before Curry returns! #RIPCITY

 

Ya, that douche is to blame for our loss. Just some random guy coming on here and making a thread. But Sly and Denny are just as much to blame for not locking that and having DarkWing make a real one!

 

I'll create a shitty thread for game 3 and jinx everything again ! *evil laugh*

 

i can see you looking like this when you were typing...

 

I have a decent feeling about this game. The Warriors rode some hot shooting in the first, but played pretty mortally in the next three; if they get cocky, we can smack them down.

 

I was about to post that we need to take the ball to the rack and get some of their bigs in foul trouble. But they are so deep, and not only that, their bigs were swatting the shit out of out shots all game.
Maybe we slow it down? It's series like this that we really miss a dominate low post scorer that we could drop it down to.

 

I want to see our bigs actually score in the paint..make them pay for a change. That'll take the pressure off the front court a bit...Mason and Ed need to put the ball in the hoop way more often

 

Getting Bargs in foul trouble early is a big deal (though not as big a deal because Sideshow Bob is on their bench now); we've done it in the past, and I think we can do it at home, but tonight if the refs let us, it'll be YOOGE.

 

That's just it though. They aren't go to guys that have go to type post games. They are the guys you love having on your team at the park that are balls out and hustle, but when it comes to getting that go to bucket, you just can't depend on them. Other teams know this. That is the main reason I predicted and was very wrong about this season. I just other teams would recognize that our backcourt is our only true threat. Our other guys really stepped it up this season, but when you are in the playoffs it gets tough. Wish we could give Ed Davis, Al Jefferson's post game for a couple weeks..... keep the Warriors bigs honest.

 

Hey, if the Thunder can turn around after getting blasted as bad as they did and steal a game, why not us!

 

LOL, even McCollum is pointing out the illegal screens that GS uses.

 

I get that they're not chip shot or jump shooters but both of them can dunk a basketball and both have had double double games...we need to get one of them going to even attempt to steal a game from them. I like the Al Jefferson example...I'd rather see some Whiteside from Ed though. Slam that rock!

 

Bad idea, you got that backwards. We need to push the ball and get easy shots before they can get their defense set. That's how we outscored them after the initial outburst. If you walk it up and let their defense get set with their big men camped in the paint, you're not going to get any easy looks, either on the perimeter or in the paint.

But, it all starts with rebounding. We NEED to keep them off the offensive glass, get the defensive rebounds and push it up the court and get some easy shots before they get their defense set.

BNM

 

Good points. I guess you're right. It's just that when they get to runnin' they are unstoppable. I guess we could and just hope our other guys like AC, Henderson and Aminu's 3s are dropping.
