Game Thread PLAYOFFS - ROUND 2, GAME 4: WARRIORS @ BLAZERS - 5/9/16, MONDAY, 7:30 PM (PDT), TNT

Stop it - you're smarter then that.

Stats are only relevant insofar as they help the team win. If I quoted a stat like that about Harden or Westbrick, your response would be that they are just stat stuffers. Nor would you be wrong.

 

Someone should have fouled him hard in OT. Not to try to hurt him, but just to break his rhythm and concentration. It's what great teams like the Warriors do. Nothing easy in the playoffs.

 

Looks like it's on Netflix. I'll put it on the list.

 

Some of the people making these negatives comments bashing lillard and saying they hope curry gets injured, just need to go to sleep and re-evaluate things in the morning.

This team fought their asses off and left it all out there. They are young and made some mental mistakes down the stretch but they were right there with the defending champs. Lillard, CJ, and Aminu made huge shots in the 4th. Kerr drew up a great play and Barnes ( the guy we want shooting of the players on the court) hit a big time 3. In the overtime, curry showed why he is the best player in the world. Once one three goes in, it does not matter what kind of defense you play on him. What's worse he was scoring with ease even when his shot was off early. I for one hope Dame goes to work out with him in the offseason as I believe his array of finishes would add something to Dames game.

 

What class? 3rd grade?

I think Steve Kerr should be ashamed and disgusted with how his players pranced around like a bunch of teenage girls at a Justin Bieber concert long before the game was decided.

Terry Stotts would never allow disrespect like that, but his players are too mature for it to happen despite their young ages.

 

The only time I recall Dame celebrating that much is the GWs against New Orleans his rookie year, Houston game 6, and the Cavs game in 2014.

Other than that he motions to his wrist on his way to the BENCH

 

Biggest glaring hole to me the entire season is how players can sag off of Plumlee at the top of the key. Maybe he can develop that shot to keep the defense honest. If not it would really help to have somebody who can hit that shot so that defenses cant sag off to help with the guards and wings.

 

Al Horford. Or better yet just bag that and get Durant!

 

The biggest hole to me in this series has been Plumlee. His inability to hit a jump shot and his weakness finishing at the rim has been a huge hindrance. Plumlee is regularly getting blocked or muscled by a 6 ft 7 draymond green. As good as Green is defensively that should not happen.

 

Everyone except you apparently.

Pretty sure it's a best of 7 series, and we're got 3 more games to play unless we lose one of them,

But go ahead and write them off if makes you happy.

I'm looking forward to the next game, as I'm sure they are.

 

Fair enough - I was unclear, so allow me to clarify.

What I got sucked into was the feel good story about Dame and CJ being the cornerstones of rapid rebuild. Like most posters here, I wanted to believe in them - and I wound up over-rating them. Put them on the Warriors and they would be the 4th and 5th best players. The team needs more - and all the long suffering fans deserve more.

 

where is the dislike button ?

 

Exactly how do you figure the Blazers owe you more than they've given us so far this season? A team that's not finished being built has been giving the best team in NBA history all it can handle. Quit whining.

 

Dude wake the fuck up. We have two budding stars, a completely blank slate with rest of the roster, and now playoff lumps to build off of.

 

Ding ding ding. Winner.

 

Klay Thompson can be called for about 15 handchecks on Dame every game with how much he's hacking him.

 

Very true but they don't call those on hardly anyone in the Playoffs.

 

I have been following this team since its expansion season. Can you say the same?

If not, maybe you don't really have the right to judge me.
