    That all Dame's fault don't you know....he's the one responsible for his teammates looking confused. Dame also put the wrong wax on the floor at the Oracle. And, yeah, he didn't coach up the bigs not to sag so much on PnR. And why couldn't he defend the guys he wasn't defending? That fucking Lillard just screwed up everything

    Hood and Harkless had good game. I thought Zach was alright didn't shoot very well but he was aggressive to the hoop to get to the free throw line. 8/4 and another block and 1 assist.

    Denver also was at home at a place that is so hard to adjust to with the altitude. Different situations after game 7s.

    Iguodala is a career 32% three point shooter and shot 33% this season. You play the percentages. That’s why the Warriors do not give a shit if Harkless and Aminu shoot them.

    Draymond is a career 32% three point shooter, shot 28% this year, and is shooting 20% this postseason. He stinks.

    And Jerebko and Cook are garbage. Neither of them have hardly even played the last few months. They’re only in because KD is out and Kerr does not respect us at all. Why should he with how we’re playing them and have played them the last several postseasons when we’ve seen them.

    21 turnovers

    Horrible defensive game plan

    Dame/CJ 11/31

    ....no chance.

    No shit.
    Very disappointed in both the team and the S2 performance tonight.
    You cannot he over-reactionary after one game, it shows our lack of playoff experience as a fan base.
    This is ONE GAME and it was a shitty one.
    Next.

    I don't know. There was quite a bit a celebration going on that they won that series. The whole thing was a big deal. I think they will settle into this series here in game two. They have to get a game there eventually and hold home court if possible. I just can't see them rolling over and figuring they have done enough.

    Zach is a gamer. And he should be starting.

    I mean if only he didn’t have our bigs drop back on screens... it wasn’t a terrible game plan defensively. We made it really ugly for Golden State at times. The biggest adjustment is gonna be the screens, I expect that to change. It’s too obvious not to.

    not it's not amazing at all

    I see about half a dozen posters here who will say not one goddamn positive thing about Dame when he's playing great, but show up every time and shit all over him when he isn't. They were quiet as hell in the OKC series

    by the way, tonight Portland scored 1.13 points/shot. Dame score 1.58 points/shot

    Oh no doubt we're not as good without Durant, but even without him we're more than capable of beating any team because our defense is good. We switch out well and even without a great center, we're competing well on the boards.

    Well that was absolutely pathetic. That game was there for the taking, but we were like "nah, we don't want this - you take it". Stotts and Dame better come correct in G2.
