Going with Warriors in 5 but I can see 6 game series if Portland continues their playoffs road success (currently 3-3)

Assuming KD is out the first 2 games, Portland winning 1 of those road games is crucial.

Also if I'm Portland, I would consider starting Collins over Kanter for matchups purposes

Warriors in 5. Don't think Portland gets swept.

Is .500 on the road really "success?"

.500 in the playoffs in the road is more than successful.

Every coach and every fan would take a .500 record in road playoffs games

why would p-town start 2 bigs when they have never done that all year. especially when refs whistle new nba players to death w/ cheesy no foul calls.

the question is whether g-town can stop p-town's pick-n-roll.

I said over Kanter. Not with Kanter lol

Bring Kanter off the bench unless Cousins come back

Road teams are 1374-2625 (.344) in playoff history if you count this game.

Team Game Finder | Basketball-Reference.com

But 3-3 is a really small sample size. 2-4 would be below the historical rate.

Against 1 or 2 seeds, 3 Seeds or below are 288-1002 (.223) historically, but not all of the Portland 3-3 games were against 1/2 seeds.

Um, that's not really the question. The question is can Portland get a game or not.

Amen brother - play .500 on the road and hold home court...... guess what --- you are world champions.

Pretty much.

Warriors and Bucks both with 4 road wins. Blazers, Raptors, and Sixers all with 3 road wins. 4 out of those 5 teams will be playing in the conference finals.

g-state is going to have matchup probs w/ p-towns guards, most teams do.


kanter will have to play well as will the rest of p-town's front line players.

The entire Warriors team is a matchup problem for Portland, come on dude.

So Warriors won't have trouble guarding Portland back court?

All he basically said is Dame/CJ will give the Warriors problems as they do every other team in the league
