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

[Heatles84]

That block by Klay encapsulates the shit fest that Portland has delivered in the 2nd half.

 

[Robotech]

Out all day. Just got back. Looks like another ho hum Warriors win.

He's not getting out-coached. How long have you been watching this team? That's how he rolls. He rests guys to be fresh for key moments. The thought behind it is that when I got my top guys fresh we can overcome any deficit. Seems like it's worked over the last 5 years.

We had this same conversation 2 days ago. I get that you don't agree.

But that particular unit is a bad lineup. Draymond needs to play with that but to get another playmaker in there.

 

[Black Adam]

You add someone like that if you literally want zero competition. Exactly why most hated him going there

yeah, but what're you gonna do, man...?

 

[MizzouFalcon]

Portland better play all four quarters tonight.

Narrator: “They didn’t.”

 

[Robotech]

Is Iguodala injured?

 

[Montalban]

Is glass man hurt again? I haven't seen him this half.

 

[The Derski]

KD with the Knicks, Kyrie or not makes the east so much better. A series with NY and Milwaukee would be pretty good.

 

[Black Adam]

Out all day. Just got back. Looks like another ho hum Warriors win.

Yup...

hot damn your team is boring...

 

[Heatles84]

yeah, but what're you gonna do, man...?

Well, KD won't be in Oakland for too long.

And to be clear, I am not saying to not rest players.

I am saying not to rest Curry and Dray at the same time.

 

[Bart]

WTF are you talking about? Rockets were the hottest team in the NBA going into the playoffs and the Warriors are the Warriors.

What are you talking about? Houston couldn't close out the Warriors when Durant went down. Overrated fuckers.

 

[Black Adam]

Well, KD won't be in Oakland for too long.

you might be right. We'll see...

 

[Black Adam]

Gag job is over...

[Montalban]

Point is, they didn't lose this lead that you said they would.

They did. It was down to 2 and Cook made two quick baskets. Is Glass Man hurt again? I didn't see him at all in the second half.

 

[TheLonestarDUCK]

Blazers scored 37 points in 2nd qtr and only 33 in 2nd half. Nice adjustments.

 

[tlance]

Do you fucking see now?

You are totally missing my point.

Right over your head.

Minute totals aren't the problem.

The one specifc player combination that I mentioned (Klay, Cook, McKinnie, Jerebko, Bell) is something like -18 in the last 2 games. And it is an easily avoidable lineup combo.

1. They're the two time defending champs.
2. This is the 5th finals in a row that they're going to be going to. When's the last time that happened?
3. When do the W's get credit for being good? They're up 3-0 right now without Durant in the WCF. But the 2x champ playing with a banged up roster going up 3-0 in the conference finals doesn't mean anything because of reasons.
