Series Thread: WCF: 1) Golden State Warriors vs 3) Portland Trail Blazers

This series felt like that dad who spots his 8 year old kid a 15 point lead in the driveway and then proceeds to swat shots and dunk on a 7 foot goal until the kid goes inside to play Fortnite.

lol it wasn't an embarrassing sweep.....what a joke.

Dubs were more banged up than Portland and still managed to SWEEP. Yes, Portland needs to do something DIFFERENT next year.

So what’s new around here?

Lillard was complete ass down the stretch.....

he scored one basket in the last 5 minutes and 5 minutes of overtime combined

Even in his one so-called "good game" of the series, he played horrible when it mattered most.

Admittedly, I feel like I have been piling on him (maybe unfairly a bit) this series.

But Kyrie got barbecued for a far less worse performance versus Milwaukee.

Lillard is probably going to get fluff pieces about how great he played instead and his gritty team.

I honestly didn't think this Portland team would've beat SA had they had to match up. Portland kinda got lucky IMO when Denver advanced.

The 10 day rest is going to be HUGE for this team.

You have 3 all-stars in your lineup. Banged up or not, that's hard as fuck to beat regardless. No one is going to paint the Warriors as an underdog no matter how hard anyone tries. They were always the favorite.

Is there any injury configuration that would make you pick the Bucks to win the Finals?

Yes this series. Bucks without Durant? Warriors slight underdogs

I'd still give the Warriors the slight edge just solely due to experience. If that wasn't a factor, I'd bet on the Bucks without KD.

Honestly, when KD comes back, they could just give a different starter a day off every game, and they'd still be fine.

If Ws had HCA maybe. Not with game 1 and 7 in Wisconsin

You really think Milwaukee is that shitty? They are a little better than the Blazers.

I honestly forgot that they don't have homecourt. Yeah, I think the Bucks are favored now that I remember that. I'm so used to GS having HC that I blanked.

Good no call on Lillard's drive. Was well defended.

Good no call on Klay's drive a couple plays before.

That's how they were calling it so they were all good no-calls but if you're going to call it like that start in the 1st quarter. I can't stand inconsistent officiating in that regard. And these aren't two pounding teams that can just force it through contact. They're both finesse teams. Makes for ugly basketball when it's called like that.

It's weird. First Finals without it (in this 5 yr run)

The thing I really love about the NBA is the parity.

They swept this series with the guys they gought through the draft. At least give them credit for that.

Hornsstampede2.0 · May 20, 2019

Toronto could be a worse matchup for Golden State

Marc Gasol is a legitimate low post threat. He has not played well at times but the threat exists.

If they could find a way to get Ibaka and Gasol rolling together, that would be real problem for the Warriors.

They sat Igoudala & Durant and were able to beat Portland at home. So, I think they could take the Bucks if they sat a different guy each game, yea. Probably 6 games.

Thankfully, Looney grabs everything. Otherwise, the Warriors lose.

So much stupid there. Do you even watch Milwaukee?

Are you saying if the Ws DON'T rest starters each game they sweep?
