[bksballer89]

Sorry to break it to the Warriors fans but there are people who actually think the Warriors won't sweep the Blazers by an avg margin of 40 points

How dare you think that CJ/Dame will give the Warriors problems lmfaooo

Dubs in 5...

 

[TheLonestarDUCK]

Teams that have the best chance against the Warriors in order.

Houston
Portland
Clemson

Dubs in 5...

5 or 6.

If Portland can win one of the first 2 without KD then we have at least a 6 game series IMO

yeah I can see 6 IF KD is still hurting it off...

Warriors in 5.

A sweep is possible if KD returns before game 3. A 7 game series is possible if Portland gets 1 at Oracle and KD doesn't get back before game 5.

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

If I worry about the Dubs you call me a pussy fan, if I rep them strong you say I'm delusional. I can't win with you LOL

Is there anyone in the world who DOES think that?

Congrats Portland on a great series win .... Good luck in the West Finals, it's a tall order, but I live by this saying, "Don't meet me there, beat me there " throw all the stats out, all the hype out, and play your best team B-ball, see what happens... I like a West coast Western finals !

Whoever beats the Warriors its an asterisk win anyways. No KD/Cousins. Asterisk. So its an underwhelming playoffs in that sense.

Lose lose situation for the NBA. They need someone to dethrone GS at full strength to create new superstars people will be talking about

 

[Nightcrawler]

Any update on the status of Durant?

Since we haven’t heard anything yet, I’m assuming he will miss at least game 1.

I'm sorry, you also think Dubs can sweep this AMAZING Portland team? Lol

Stop it.
Strong chance BOTH KD AND Boogie return in this series.

 

[raptorlife4]

I think the Blazers shooting can keep them close. Ill say Warriors in 7

Yes, possible he's back sometime during this series...same thing for Boogie.

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.

Wtf? I was told there would be no math.
