Refs trying to pull Portland back in this game if they can hit their free throws.

Bad pick but Fill In Frank needs to chill with roasting draft picks 5 years later. It’s easy to have 20/20 hindsight 5 years after the fact.

FIFY.

Lol this Portland team isn't different than the teams they've had in the past other than Hood being a contributing shooter - which is streaky at best. If they still had Nurkic it would definitely be a different story, but they don't.

As of now their play in today's game 7 isn't helping your argument any. I know things can change but as of now they are looking like the Portland team of past seasons that has struggled against good teams.

Warriors beat a 41 and 44 Portland team in the playoffs.

This team won 53 games this year.

You're not very smart if you think this is the same club as a 41-41 and 44-38 club

 

[bksballer89]

Another disgusting call in favor of Denver.

Kanter did absolutely nothing there

 

[bksballer89]

Why is Evan Turner playing?

 

[DJ]

This denver team is full of fake tough guys

That's a majority of the League.

You're not very smart if you think 6 or 7 more reg season wins means they're a different team. These are basically the same guys with the exceptions I already mentioned. I will note they are missing Crabbe & his ability to create a miss match for GS.

Portland only down 9 at half.

As bad as they played

Don’t tell @bksballer89 that.

 

[LAD]

Outside of dame and cj, most of these guys were not here last time they played the warriors in the playoffs

In that 41-41 season you mentioned they had Nurkic, Aminu, Harkless, Turner alongside CJ & Dame. They also had Crabbe whom kept them in a couple of those games.

So impossible for teams to get better over 2 years?

They were +12 wins better than the .500 mediocre squad who the Warriors swept 2 years ago.

Their bench was almost completely different than it is now.

But yeah I'm done arguing with someone who doesn't think there is a difference between a team that went .500 to a team that finished 24 games over .500

Why you only singling out the NBA? You should have also said


LoL @ for MLB playing games today

LoL @ the PGA for having an event today

LoL @ the NHL for having a game today

Because it's the only sport that affects me personally today.

Nurkic didn't come until some point during the season via trade late in the season (only played 20 games). Played a total of 17 minutes in that series due to injury. Their backup C was Meyers Leonard who is a bench warmer these days.

It isn't the same team by any stretch.

You don't go from 41 wins to 53 wins in the tough western conferences in 2 years without getting much better

 

[bksballer89]

Dame needs to get it going

 

[bksballer89]

How do you allow that after a made basket?

 

[bksballer89]

Why is Kanter shooting 3's? That's not your game

 

[bksballer89]

3 pt shooting is going to be the reason Portland lose this game

 

[Shanemansj13]

Mccollum is keeping this team alive

LMAO Crabbe and Nurkic averaged 7 ppg COMBINED. They had Vonleh who sucked too. That team had no depth. You continue to prove pretty much every point you strongly argue for is wrong. STFU

 

[Bart]

GSW will destroy either of these teams.
