2019 NBA Playoffs

[OSR stands with Israel]

Last night was tough to watch, but I am sure we can bounce back. Go Blazers !!!!!!!

Blazers in 7 lol

Tonight's either gonna be great or it's gonna massively suck, hoping it's not the second option

We did it , thanks to amazing games by Hood and Collins. Now it’s on to game 7 and we just can’t miss all these free throws because we will now have to win in Denver

Yah this the Best Blazers team I have ever seen since I was too young to see 2000(though I am happy I didnt or I would have cried after Game 7 of that WCF). I have faith though that we can pull out an win.

I think on important lesson is to not double Jokic, if he scores fine its ok but if you double he will get it out to Murray/Barton/Harris/Craig for open shots many times 3s and that then opens up the game.

All signs point towards a Mil vs Warriors Finals matchup and if KD will return.

[Suburbia]

Dame Lillard is a good player, the Trail Blazers are always in the playoffs, they don't move beyond the Western Conference semifinals.

POR vs. HOU WCF

Kevin Durant is injured, he will not be able to help; I think the Rockets win in 7 against GS.

You think Draymond, Curry, Thompson can beat Harden and Paul on their own?

You guys underestimate Curry, he is superman, like Jordan, with the 3 point shot and has 3 titles to show for it, and so has Klay, a 3 point shot. They are the Splash Bros and get 38 million for a reason.

In 2 of those titles Durant was the star in the playoffs and In his first one the Warriors barely got passed a Cavs team that had BOTH Kyrie and Kevin Love injured.

Curry lead the season, last year in 3 point made last year, they won, in addition to KD, but also, with Curry 3 pointers.

Just don't have him try to dunk it. With Cousins and Durant out, would be the perfect matchup for the Bucks.

[Sestak]

Durant turns a very good team into a dominant one. Without him, they aren’t the powerhouses they have been, but they’re still more than capable of winning a championship.

Well the problem is Draymond is not as good as he used to be , and Iguodala is not as good either . Plus they don’t have players such as Harrison Barnes who were pretty important role players in the Pre Durant Finals Teams

[OBD]

RIP the Rockets.

While I'm certainly cheering for the Blazers to win it all, realistically they won't be able to beat GSW even with Durant out, especially due to the Kanter injury and the fact that they're totally gassed. Oh well.

No. But, as we just saw, those three plus Iguodala most certainly can.

[GeorgiaModerate]

Saw this today on the relative importance of Curry and KD to the Warriors:

Over the last three seasons (playoffs included), the Warriors are plus-82 in the 2,965 minutes they've played with Durant on the floor and Curry off. That's plus-1.3 per 48 minutes. They're plus-579 in the 2,292 minutes they've played with Curry on the floor and Durant off. That's plus-12.1 per 48 minutes.

And in all those Durant-less minutes, Curry averaged 32.8 points per 36 minutes while shooting 44.8 percent from the field and 39.8 percent from three.

It was a tough serie between Golden State and Houston. I consider them as the tougher teams in the Western Conference. It won't be easy, but I see Golden State going to the NBA Finals and winning the Championship Title this year.
Toronto and Milwaukee are talented, but I don't think they could beat Golden State.
The Western Conference is stronger than the Eastern one.

Disagree , if Durant is out I think we have a chance . Lillard is more than capable enough to outplay Curry and I would argue this year Lillard has been the best PG . Their spacing relies on Green playing well and I think we could mess that up significantly with our size .

Denver is a worse matchup for us that A Durant less Warriors due to Jokic

Curry has been scoring 30 points a game since KD has been out, KD isn't the only one that can score that amount.

Curry has been scoring 30 points a game since KD has been out, KD isn't the only one that can score that amount.

And Lillard can score 30 points a game as well and has been averaging that these playoffs. Lillard can outscore Curry, the key in the series will be Draymond not Lillard vs Curry and I think the Blazers are too big to allow Draymond to open up spacing as much as he usually does. We are also a pretty deep team as well unlike Houston .


Denver was a worse matchup for us because Denver is cause we have nobody who comes close to matching up against Jokic and the fact that Denver keep dominating us on the boards something the Warriors wont do.

Yes, Curry is more integral to the team and losing him hurts the Warriors a lot more than losing KD. Anyone who actually watches the team regularly (and not just the average stats) can tell you this.

[OSR stands with Israel]

Let’s go Blazers !!!!!
