    We get blown out, and call it a Fluke.

    No better opportunity to knock off the media darlings and make them our bitches...I say beat them without mercy! They don't have that cocky swagger against us this season...we put fear into them..few teams have done that

    We play the warriors really good because we can match up with them big or small line up.

    I'm sure that the Warriors have had this game circled on their calendars since the Blazers pounded them in the last game. OTOH, I think the Blazers will be out to show that last win wasn't just a fluke. I'm about as homer as they come, but I still don't see this one working out favorably for the Blazers. Probably a 15-20 point win for the Dubs.

    If it is close I think there will be a few T's. Things will get testy if calls go against GS. Look for Green or Bogut to take a cheap shot.

    The things I see going for the Blazers is that everyone expects them to lose so there's no pressure on them and that these guys are so united as a team and never give up.

    Close win or blowout loss... those are my realistic expectations, if I were an expectorant. But I'm not, so I'll let the game play out. ;)

    I'm willing to bet one team is going to lose.

    So if we lose by 18, it's a win? Only way it's a loss is if we lose by 22. So we lose by 23, it's a win, by 21 it's a win....

    Wait, so does that mean it's a good bet that one team will win too!

    I think the game is gonna be slowed down compared to the last meeting. Still, the key is don't worry about Curry, he will get his. You have to get back on defense, limit open shots and force Green to be a scorer rather than a distributor. Being aggressive offensively is important as well, get them in foul trouble.

    I don't expect a win or loss, the end result will depend on the intensity we bring. We have lost the last three road games, but were on a tiresome 6 game road trip. We just had a revitalizing overtime win over Washington at home, and a few days rest, so we should have the energy to play a solid game.
    The Warriors are butthurt being that we prison raped them last game, so they are going to want some revenge to prove that it just a fluke that we've destroyed them twice this season. The thing is both those times were at the Moda center...

    I expect that the Warriors are going to bring their all. I expect the Blazers to bring theirs, to play their best. I don't expect the Warriors to blow us out, nor us them, if we lose it will be close, if we win it will be close...

    I expect the Blazers to play 48 minutes of basketball and come out with their heads held high no matter the outcome. The Blazers are fighters, they always have been....

    I expect the Blazers to fight!

    It'll be a super close game, until the Warriors score the first points and then it'll be an onslaught by the Warriors.
