Defintely concerning though.

Probably not anything major, but the Warriors can ill afford another injury to another starter.

Depth was a concern before KD got hurt.

They just need to focus on winning 1 more game, then getting everybody as healthy as possible for May 30th.
Achilles for Iguodala. MRI tomorrow.

LILLARD has sucked ass all series....heck, he sucked in game 7 as well but McCollum was godlike and carried him

4 games in a row he has been horrible

He better wake up soon in this 4th quarter, or its over for his season

Anyone still think Lillard is as good as Curry?

So one great team makes the conference strong? :L

And to be a little more verbose for you, there were 3 teams that had a realistic shot to win it this year: the rockets, the w's, and the bucks.

Hard to understand this Warrior lineup to start the 4th quarter. That's just throwing away the lead they built.

Like I said, Blazers are crap tonight from the line...

Yep.... I said it earlier when they went 16-22 from the line in the 1st half.

Can't do that against the champs when it's in your own house especially in a pivotal game.

They ended up going 20 for 33 for the game.
Basically the differential tonight.

Now they find themselves in an insurmountable 0-3 series hole.

Kyrie Irving vs Bucks (1 win 4 losses)
20.4 ppg, 6.4 assists, 36% shooting, 3.6 turnovers, box plus minus total (-37)

Damian Lillard vs Warriors (0 wins, 3 losses)
20.3 ppg, 7.3 assists, 32% shooting, 4.7 turnovers, box plus minus total (-49)


Not sure what to make of it, but I do know that Irving was essentially roasted by everyone on the planet.

There is still at least one more game, but the NBA is so weird how it plays favorites seemingly at random.

Rockets? Maybe before the playoffs started but the Rockets showed that was an illusion. People gave them too much credit since they were basing their prediction off the Rocket's success on last years run. We found out that the Rockets weren't really that good.

You could add Toronto to that list too and Boston looked great in that first round with enough talent to win it all but the chemistry just wasn't there with Kyrie. When you look at all the teams after the first two rounds have been completed, you can only conclude that the West isn't as strong as people claim.

Yeah. Lillard went from media darling to goat really fast.
