    I will passively root for whomever plays against San Antonio.

    Ultimately, I want Cleveland to win.

    I may skip this game, since I know the outcome. As of 2 minutes left in regulation in the last game, I thought we would win the game. If Curry had stayed away, we would have repeated our Clipper performance (lost 2, won 4 in a row). We came close to making the Finals.

    So LaMarcus Aldridge gave up guaranteed extra 30 million dollars the Blazers offered him to ironically be one game from elimination in the 2nd round just like, you guessed it, the Portland Trail Blazers? He left Damian Lillard, CJ Mccolloum AND 30 million dollars extra to be in the same position the Blazers are??

    Irony at its finest

    To be fair, with Chris Paul and Blake Griffin out, it was unlikely that the Clippers would have went on. And winning 4 in a row including playing at Oracle after getting beat there easily 2 times without Curry? You may have been overestimating their chances. Home court matters and the Warriors only lost 2 games at home all season.

    If you really believe game 2 was an easy win, I guess you fully embraced the warriors mentality

    lol.

    I guess easily is winning by 11 after being down 11 with one quarter left. Go figure.

    Subtle, but nice. Good effort. :cheers:

    Alright. The Portland Trail Blazers not only have the talent but obviously they have the will to win this game! Not gonna come on here and act like this is their last game. We have all seen it and we all know that this series could very likely be 3-1 Blazers right now. Something tells me they will not roll over and simply give up tonight. They have absolutely nothing to be ashamed of and they have nothing to lose.
    Dame will lead this team and they will respond. Time to leave it all out on the floor. Get this game and bring it back to Portland!
    Go Blazers!
    Kjironman is a fan!!!

    P.S of course i'm going to watch they playoffs. Win or lose i am still a basketball fan.

    It's even funnier than that. Had his replacement Meyers Leonard not been injured we'd likely be wrapping up this series and moving on to the 3rd round tonight, despite playing 5 on 8 every game.

    Watching the DUBS all season, being double digits down in the 4th quarter and coming back and winning by double digits isn't an enigma. For some reason they save their best ball for the 4th. You'd be hard pressed to say that any team double digits up on the the DUBS, even in the 4th are comfortable with that lead.

    Starting to mentally prepare for this to be our last game this year.

    Sigh.

    Really want us to stay competitive tonight.
