2019 NBA Playoffs

[OBD]

I hope Houston has a chance against Golden State. I don't enjoy watching dynasty teams win again, and I really don't like watching a team from the ultra-wealthy Bay Area - a region enjoying nothing but success and victory for the past 30 years - winning.

Portland with Nurkic would have had the best chance to beat the warriors as they could actually force the Warriors ISO far more than they normally do and I would say Lillard is the better ISO player than Curry (Heck this year I would say Lillard has been better overall ).

Durant still would be a huge problem but our team is very deep so the Blazers role players could make up for it

Portland with Nurkic may actually be favored against a Warriors team without Curry and Thompson lmao.

But the injury luck went the other way sadly.

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

Well the Sixers are up and the Blazers and Sixers have their fates tied so...

[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.

[OBD]

Blazers Win!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is glorious 538 finally has to admit we have a 1% chance at the championship LMAO

[OBD]

Want Bucks vs Blazers, relistically expecting to have the Blazers win 1 game at most but that's why they play the game.

If you are talking about against the Warriors:

If Durant doesnt play both teams are even, and I would say the Blazers would win. Lillard and CJ can outscore Curry and Thompson, and this year I would say the Blazers backcourt has played better. Also we are far more equipped to handle Draymond and really disrupt the Warriors spacing.


If you are talking about against the Bucks:


While you may have Giannis we have Lillard and CJ and I dont think you guys have players who can slow them down . Khris Middleton is good but he isnt good to slow down CJ . It would be a great series and I think we would win

Meant as GS vs Blazers, expect it to be 4-1 GS.

Without KD Warriors aren’t winning that easily , the Blazers are better than the Rockets and a much worse matchup for the Warriors as well


If KD doesn’t play this is a 50/50 series

No one would ever accuse you of pessimism lol.

I think the Blazers could realistically push the Warriors to 5 or 6 but that's about it. They did go 2-2 against them in the regular season IIRC, but that was with Nurkic. Especially since Durant is probably back in 2 games or so, it doesn't look too good unless we can get at least 2 wins before he comes back.

[OBD]

Its just one game , and we had a bad night.

The team is about to have 3 more of those in a row. I'd love to be proven wrong though.

No the blowout was more due to the Blazers playing garbage

I mean, it was close! Until it wasn't thanks 4th quarter...

[OBD]

CJ completely choked and blew this game and also the refs helped the warriors a lot . Draymond also should have been fouled out but refs as usual let him get away with it

Damn what a disappointing result. We should have stolen this game.

[OBD]

Well that's series. Go Bucks, I guess.

[OBD]

Well that's series. Go Bucks, I guess.

Never make projections based on early returns.

I'd love to be proven wrong

[OBD]

Idk who's going to win tonight yet, but it kills me how the Blazers were about three 6-point swings in the third quarter from sweeping the Warriors (we were only down by 6 after Q3 in Game 1, and we would have had G2, and probably G3, if not for the third quarter meltdowns).

[OBD]

D'oh.

[OBD]

D'oh.

Imagine if we had a healthy Lillard


But you know it’s a trend with the warriors


Kyrie got injured against them in 2015
Kawhi In 2017
And Lillard this year


We should have retaliated once we found out they injured Lillard  . That’s what teams in the late 80s and early 90s did . And maybe we could have gotten Draymond mad enough after one of those super hard fouls  that he suspends himself

We should have done it this game so they don't win the championship haha.

Anyway, go Bucks for reals this time lol.

[OBD]

Hot take: We would have been in the Finals if Nurk wasn't injured.

[OBD]

Warriors will not win in 5 without Durant . The series with Portland would be tied 2-2 if Lillard didn’t separate his ribs and probably is a 7 game series .


Without Durant the Bucks and Warriors probably go 7 games as well

Blazers in 6 if we figured out how to hold 17 point leads lmao.

Toronto is definately the weaker team against Warriors, go Raptors.

I'm cheering for the Bucks but I really only care about seeing the Warriors go down.

[OBD]

Yay, I don't care who the team is as long as the Warriors get taken down

[OBD]

YES! Destroy the Warriors dynasty!

[OBD]

The Warriors losing is the best thing in the NBA for a long time
