Go Blazers

no

Wow what a stunning collapse by the Warriors

Was that a record for largest comeback in a playoff game?

Yes, it was.

Loss was disappointing given that, but I’m actually kind of glad we’re going to have an interesting and challenging playoff run this time around.

[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.

[Sestak]

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

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

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

[Sestak]

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.

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.

[Sestak]

Right, this ought to be a fun series.

Some of y'all are going to end up with serious egg on your face. Does no one remember how dominant Curry and Thompson played before Durant joined the team?

[Sestak]

First quarter and already 2 BS calls

- A clean block was called a goaltend and one
- Curry losing control of the ball called a foul


The warriors have to be babied as usual

"anything that doesn't benefit my team is a BS call"

So the damn warriors get lucky again , we should have splattered Draymond on the ground bad boy piston style last night

Another great game by First Ballot Hall of Famer: Steph Curry.

Thanks to the Warriors injuring Lillard.



This story makes me hate the Warriors even more than I already do

Alright, now you're just really whining.

Curry was playing the 2016 finals with an injured leg, and yet you just cite that series as "an example of why the warriors are overrated."

By your logic this series is just an example of why the Blazers are overrated.

[Sestak]

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.

Bucks will be lucky to win 1 game against Warriors

Lol, Bucks can win the series, they can also lose it. They match up really well against the Warriors and actually play good defense. If they lose it'll be a big fight.

Should be a good series!

[Sestak]

Raptors win to go up 3-2!

[Sestak]

Good job to Toronto.

Now to even it up on Sunday.

[Sestak]

One basket from losing the finals, and they manage to hold it. On to Game 6.

[Sestak]

Still the best team in America
