[Western Conference Semifinals] (1)Golden State vs. (5)Portland

You have to be joking. A slightly better version of this Lillard Portland team beat a much better version of the Harden Rockets in 6 games back in 2014.

Portland would have beat this year's Rockets in 5 games easily, and only because Harden would have probably gone off in 1 game.

 

Anyone notice that there are 3 days off between game one and two??? League trying to give curry an extra day

 

Warriors - 13 fouls against, 4-5 FT's.
Blazers - 11 fouls against, 10-16 FT's.

 

ROFL, I like both posts... Hopefully Houston has a coach next season

 

It doesn't account for all the phantom calls. Admittedly I had no bias at one point, but I've been driven to this conclusion. Tired of seeing moving screens and Draymond CONSTANTLY using his forearm to gain separation.

 

Confirmation bias is a biatch. You see what you want to see.

 

Yeah, I thought that was kind of interesting... I wish the playoffs would just be every other night for teams. After this round they really like to stretch it out.

 

Another person on the block list!

 

Lol, I don't know about tonight's game, but I do know Draymond does get away with plenty of moving screens. Obviously other players do too. I just think it'd be better if all players just set a proper screen but.. guys will get away with what they can.

 

And obviously I don't think Green does it all the time, it's similar to grabbing a guys jersey, little things to gain an edge.

I mean last night's offensive foul call was a mess but at the same time Leonard was holding Westbrook and then other fouls all happened in that same 13 seconds or whatever, hahah + delay of game for foot crossing etc. Officiating is a mess, I mean in real time this **** is so fast vs non-pro it's amazing we can only b**** about a few things. It'd be cool if in the last 2 mins though of a close game they could correct stuff that wasn't called correctly and not have to use makeup calls or the " we're sorry memo". I mean if they can take stuff back (3point to 2 or flagrant down to foul etc) why can't they add **** in... With all the cameras and media, it's not like the old nba. They should be able to fix blatantly missed calls. Or maybe have a coach challenge or something in final 2.

Lillard in beast mode!!

 

Damn Lillard is a beast. Wish we had a guy come up big like that in the postseason.

 

Does anybody think about how good the Blazer would be if they kept the squad together. I honestly feel like they would have a shot at the title with last year's squad and some small free agent signings.

Lillard
McCollum / Crabbe
Batum / Matthews
Aldridge
Lopez

If only they had let the roster develop a little more, would have been an amazing team.

 

Damn who knew, Stotts keeping a similar height defender on Livingston at all times and guess what, Livingston doesn't look as good as he was the first round #Coaching

 

If you take this year's version of all those players, sure. Problem is, you don't know if guys like McCollum/Crabbe would develop the same way if there were multiple vets in front of them.

 

Plumlee sucks big time!

 

WOW! I know right!?

Screaming that all throughout the series and we continue to hear people go on and on about how "Not JBBs fault though..." you ever play ball against your kid, little cousins, little brother or something? Yeah, that's what it's like when you put Beverly on Livingston but I digress.

 

I really, really don't want the Warriors to win the title again.

 

That white dude on the blazers has been awful, you get swatted by Ezeli, c'mon man.
