round one Dame Dolla was big time. Round two, it was McCollum. Round three, missing Hood possibly on top of Nurkic. Got to hand it to the Blazers, they are a resilient bunch.

I picked the Warriors in 6 for selfish reasons. I figured the longer this series lasts, the better the chances are that DMC gets to step back on the court (and that's still the ONLY reason I'm keeping my seat on the Warriors bandwagon).

It dawned on me that I'll never go to "Arco West" again. Darn. Those were some fun times, especially when visiting Kings fans outnumbered the home crowd of Warriors fans.

 

[SLAB]

I have absolutely nothing against Portland, so I won’t mind if they win. But again I’m pulling for GS in hopes DMC gets a chance in the Finals.

 

[VF21]

I was wondering how long it would take for that stupid upfake foul to rear its ugly head. You know the one that's not really an upfake as much as it is the offensive player flat jumping into the defender and still drawing the foul? I would so like to see that taken away by the NBA.

 

[SLAB]

Portland seems like a step down from both Houston AND LAC.

Yup.

 

[kingsboi]

I give Portland one win at the Moda Center and that's about it. Dame Dolla has been invisible since his game winning shot versus OKC

 

[Tetsujin]

Portland coming off the game 1 loss freaking hot.

Meanwhile, Golden State's lack of 2/5 of its star lineup is showing as Klay is having an off night and the Blazers are throwing everything they have at Steph

 

[Agent23]

No lead is safe against the Dubs, sheesh.

 

[SLAB]

Basketball is so much more enjoyable with those flopping whining ref exploiting jerks sitting at home.

 

[kingsboi]

wow Iggy what a defensive stop. I thought the NBA doesn't allow the hand check anymore?

 

[Joshoua]

Does anyone know if steph and Seth are brothers

 

[Suicide King]

Does anyone know if steph and Seth are brothers

Sucks that Pau is hurt, being that he is on the Bucks and his brother is on the Raptors.

 

[ppine]

Currys are brothers and have been covering each other. First time in the history of the NBA finals.
I wish the Kings still had Seth Curry. He is much less of a punk than his brother.

 

[Tetsujin]

Dray is very very good but still only the fifth best player on the Warriors when everyone is healthy, which is certainly something.

 

[SLAB]

GS just toying with the Blazers before deciding it’s time to step on their throat.

 

[SLAB]

I’m pulling for this team for DeMarcus reasons, but then Steph does his dumb dance and I question everything and I want someone to punch him right in the eye.

I freakin’ despise Steph Curry.

 

[Kingz19]

Portland only made it this far because the Kings blew that big lead against their g league team and they got the weak side of the bracket.

 

[kingsboi]

Portland has got to be one of the worst West Finals teams in recent history. They were in full control of this game until the third quarter and that's all it took for the Dubs to take over. Just bring the Finals all ready. Milwaukee will be the best test yet for them.

Portland's not even a playoff team next year probably with Nurkic sidelined and Aminu possibly gone. It's one thing to hold to form for 10 games down the stretch, but an entire season is a different story. Their defense is already bad enough but without those two it will be beyond pathetic.

this Postseason also tells us a lot about Dame Dolla as a star player or a All-star player. Since round one, his PPG and FG% have dipped and turnovers gone up. McCollum saved them round two.

No one expected them to beat Golden State, but making the WCF I thought went a long way to erasing the memory of last year. But just laying down in this series and maybe I thought too soon.

I saw a stat recently of his entire playoff career that he's had two iconic playoff series (2014 Rockets, 2019 Thunder) and all of his other playoff series he's been lackluster at best.

so the two great series he's been in has been in round one and he's sent both teams home at the buzzer.

Portland has a good team, but the GS Worriers show up when it matters and close out games better than any team in recent memory.

 

[ppine]

Last night's quote of the week, was it Van Gundy who said "Draymond Green was the difference maker. If he played for Portland they would be up 3 games." Or something to that effect. I do not like Green as a human being, but I respect his ability on the court.

do they have a good team though? The Clippers and Rockets both managed to win two games against them so it's not as if they are unbeatable. They just match up better versus the likes of Portland and even if it was the Nuggets they were facing, they would of suffered the same fate the Blazers would have in terms of beating them in 4 or 5.

Proof that beating the warriors at their own game just isn’t possible, and you need some kind of big man worth a damn. Jokic would have given the warriors hell

Dray is very very good but still only the fifth best player on the Warriors when everyone is healthy, which is certainly something.

I'd take him over Klay any day.
