WC Playoffs Semis: #1 Warriors vs. #5 Trailblazers

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

We'll see how this goes. I reserve the right to merge these threads, if they don't generate enough traffic.

Well, that was time I could have spent taking a nap...

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I watched every minute, just like I've watched every playoff game, for a combination of reasons... But damned if I didn't spend two and a half hours hate-watching a basketball game...

another yawn

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Went to the soccer match. Don't think I missed much.

Portland had this game, then the Dubs put a vice grip on the Blazers in the fourth quarter

 

[KingMilz]

Draymond Green might be the most underrated athlete in the NBA people talk about his heart/skills and rightfully so but his combination and size (he's chubby tankish) and speed (good quick first step in the half court also) from end to end with the strength he has to bang centers and block shots is truly rare. The guy really is a excellent athlete without being a super explosive fast twitch type.

 

[ESP47]

He made Plumlee look like an idiot in the 4th quarter.

 

[Merdiesel]

Good lord, will Draymond Green ever get his ass thrown out?! Dude talks so much **** out there and the refs just let him get away with it all game long. It's a joke.

 

[kingsboi]

both games go into overtime today, it really is a good day for basketball.

Dam Curry is Amazing

 

[pdxKingsFan]

That was pretty stunning. The texts between me and lady friend in OT. Not suitable for screenshots, but in the end it's just like you can't even hate that. She had originally said that she just wanted one win to avoid a sweep and any sweep embarrassment but she really wanted that win last night. I wanted the B's to take two so that I could at least contemplate buying tickets to Game 6. My wallet is happy.

back to back MVP has returned and it's time for the Warriors to finish this series up

I'm trying to watch this warrior game. 3 miss. 3 miss. 3 miss.
Even when someone make a 3, it just seems like street ball to me.
I know I'm on an island all by my lonesome on this one.

You're not alone...I am truly amazed by Steph Curry but the rest is just not the game I've watched for over half a century.

Trust me, I hate this type of basketball too but I still watch it and hope that in the near future that another team comes along and wins it playing old fashioned half court offense and in your face defense, tough fouls, etc.

Yes, tough fouls.
Wheres the webber laying out stockton play? How come teams aren't laying out curry? Its what made me mad when clay thompson was raining 3's on us at will. The kings didn't seem mad. I wanted to see someone take his a$$ out.
Consequences be damned. Ring his bell a couple times. Knock him out of rhythm.

The blazers at time were passing up wide open lanes or open mid range shots to pass out beyond the 3 pt line to attempt bad shots. I just don't understand this type of basketball.

 

[Merdiesel]

Terry Stotts is a hell of a coach...

Stockton was not good for the rest of the game. In modern times he might have been removed because of a concussion.

Reading my post from last night I sound like that old guy yelling at the young whippersnappers to "get off my lawn!"
Yeesh.
I can't help it. Curry and the warriors are up by 2 and curry goes down with 48 seconds left and jacks up a 3 air ball. Then he goes down, gets the rebound and comes back and shoots another 3. Sure he made it but this guy is the MVP and he jacks up an air ball with the game on the line?
Sorry but as someone who grew up with Michael Jordan I just don't associate curry and his wild, crazy, sometimes unwarranted 3's with a player on par with Michael Jordan.

what are the odds he gets canned?

Curry, along with Lillard and Westbrook take some of the worst shots you can possibly take but they get away with it because it's that type of game these days, jack up ill advised shots and three's.

sure he takes shots that, for other people might be bad shots, it's just not the case for him. you can't just say "sure, he makes some of them, but that's a bad shot." he makes most of them, so it's not a bad shot anymore. that's the problem.

Nobody in Portland is suggesting a thing. I don't know where this "he's on the hot seat" is coming from. The feeling around the fanbase is "what a run!"

And it was.

saw today that they are discussing a contract extension, so I assume it's safe to toss that theory out the window.
