    All the Blazers have to do is hold it together and they have this game (and the series) in the bag. Clippers are in a bad place now but it's only 9 points.

    why have the clippers just been leaving aminu wide open all series long? he's a 36% 3 point shooter, not 26%. i realize he sucked before this season, but he took 350 3's this year so it's not like it was just a fluke.

    Why doesn't this 4/15 version of Crawford show up more often against the Rockets?

    When he's bad, he's really bad.

    If Blake is hampered by his thigh, the last two games won't even be close.

    If Blake is hurt as well, the Blazers take the next 2

    I disagree that the Warriors get past the Blazers easily. Wasn't their worst loss of the season at the hands of Portland? And that was in a game Curry played.

    Clippers never really addressed back up PG position on the team, despite Chris Paul's knjury history.

    And no, Austin Rivers is not a backup PG. He should barely be part of an NBA team's rotation

    The Warriors willfare much better, with Livingston, Barbosa, Iguodala all able to run an offense to varying degrees of success, and also Green being a great passing PF.

    But even if you have a decent backup for Paul, you ain't winning diddly poo as Jim Mora would say if that guy can't play. Once he broke his hand, their season was effectively over.

    Same goes for the Warriors BTW. If they don't get Curry back this postseason, they are not beating the Spurs or Thunder. Hell, they'll have a tough enough time against the Blazers should Portland advance.

    Prigioni, Redick, Crawford, Green, Jordan, Aldrich and Pierce can still beat the Blazers in LA.

    Either Portland dabbling in witchcraft or Clippers pissed off a basketball deity.
