    I am hoping for a CJ explosion. I have not seen CJ really catch fire yet in these playoffs. Tonight would be an excellent night for it.

    Honestly, I think the key to victory against a Curry-less Warriors is to let Klay and Green get theirs, and stop them from getting a third scorer going. Game 2 kind of came down to Festus fucking Ezili and Harrison Fucking Barnes.

    I can only imagine the game thread of the game back in 92 I was at...... People on here would have been bitching about Clyde's shot selection and horrible post defense of Duckworth.... How Hornecek flopped and Tom Chambers was a dirty player!

    He's had decent counting stats but his 3 point shooting has fallen off a cliff. Not sure what is happening because he's missing some good shots. Tonight would be a good game for him to bust out of his shooting slump.

    Hornacek did flop - constantly - and Chambers WAS a dirty player!

    This game is probably the toughest game we have faced all year. Against all odds. Let's do this!

    I think Golden State is just trying to mess with our heads. I fully anticipate that Curry will be upgraded to probably after morning shoot-around and he'll play tonight. Hopefully I'm wrong and it's just the pessimist in me.

    Fuck. I am not a fan of this crew at all.

    Malloy has gotten a little better, only because there was no way to go but up for him. (He was horrible when he first started out)

    Scott Foster is just as bad as always, but Tom Washington.......... he has gotten a lot worse. He makes some horrible calls and is unwilling to explain why. Very arrogant

    Not sure it favors one team more, just that we can expect a frustrating night from the zebras.

    Bad ref crew and Curry has been upgraded to questionable... Seems the NBA and the Warriors are shaking in their space boots!

    That means Curry is playing no question in my mind at this point. They absolutely do not want to lose this game.

    If Curry comes back, we make his life a living hell. If he goes to the lane foul and foul hard (but clean).

    Yes! We need all of the help we can get defensively.

    Seriously. It's critical the Blazers come out strong. Game 2 until the end, and Game 3, introduced DOUBTS into the Warriors, who had considered themselves invulnerable. If the Blazers rush out the gate firing on all cylinders the doubts will fester. If they come out lackadaisical and let GSW control early, GSW gets their moxie back.

    No

    If he comes back to early he might make things for his knee worse

    This....well the first part...GS is trying to use some mental warfare on us, get us nervous...curry will probably even come out in his gear, but not end up playing,vor if he does it will be off the bench in short minutes...I almost hope he does, it will mess up the Warriors

    As a Blazers fan, I'd LOVE for Stephen (refuse to call him "Steph," 'cause it's lame) to play tonight! There's NO WAY that knee is even close to healthy, yet. He better be careful... I know they want to win this series, but he doesn't wanna re-injure it like D. Rose did!
