    Does Dame need 50 points in every game?

    Realistically, we need these guys to hit the injury bug similar to the clippers. I'm talking no curry, no klay and no green. With that said I think we will all be cheering hard and no matter what be happy with out team win or lose, but realistically, We will lose the series. Proud of this team for all they have accomplished!!

    Harkless must average 16
    Dame 30
    McC 24

    If these three average these numbers - we win.

    Man, I'll just be happy if we can get one or two wins. I want to at least be competitive while they don't have Curry.

    We skull-fuck the bejesus outta them... DUH! Gotta try to take an advantage on them before StephEN Curry gets back on the court! WAYYYY better match-ups for us in that series, with or without the League's MVP in the line-up!

    The backcourt has to average close to 60 ppg and the bench has to be consistent to have any chance.

    You also know how this series will be reffed. That won't be fun, either.

    To win on the road we need to come from behind in the 4th IMO. So we need to stay close. And maybe beg the refs to call a few moving screens?

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Barring injuries, I don't think the Blazers can win this series, but I think they can at least push it to 6 without Curry. Lillard really has to be on--the main problem is that I don't think the Blazers have the defense to slow the Warriors consistently enough. But I think that Portland can win a couple of their home games with some lights-out shooting.

    I love this strategy by Stotts. How can we utilize Hendo's butt to get Klay out of the series?

    If there's anything that this Clippers series taught you - guard penetration is a YUGE problem.

    Dame couldn't handle CP3 (obviously) and Austin had his way, so much so that Harkless defended Rivers in every second half from game 3 to tonight.

    That's not going to happen in this series. Dame could hold his own against the offensively inept Luc Ma Whathaveyou - Barnes and Green will post up Dame instantly.

    I don't know man. GS is damn good and they are basically unbeatable at home. I guess we all need to find Jesus, pray and fast all series? :dunno:

    CP3 is the Clipper offense and the biggest product of that is Redick.

    That combo they ran Redick off screens all game long and we couldn't defend it. Redick's heel flared up in the first quarter of game three but before that he was putting up 17 ppg on 51% shooting - ALL off screens.

    Klay Thompson is that ...on steroids.

    1. Keep our composure, keep fighting.
    2. Be physical.
    3. We HAVE to hit at least 80% of our open shots.
    4. Embellish contact on moving picks.
