    That's a real good spiel and all, and I appreciate that it took you 20 minutes to come up with that and type it.

    But alas, it was a waste of time.

    Because not once did I say I'm sick of or tired about hearing Curry coverage.

    If you could grasp what I said - it was that saying Curry is great because he overcomes concussion is nonsense.

    Sorry to rain on your parade brah. That took me two minutes to write and I've already put what you said to bed.

    Any other tinman-like comments not relating to anything I've said?

    Thompson is so good. I used to think Green was their second best player but I'd give Klay the slight edge. It's just so important to have a pure scorer type to help carry the offensive load.

    Maybe I'm biased because I got to see him play live in college.

    So far I am impressed with Portland. Thought they would just fold. Would be very interesting to see this go back to Portland.

    Need to get more fouls on Green.

    BTW, after bandwagoning the Warriors all year, I think I've switched sides.

    Go Blazers!!

    Completely agreed.

    A team could just fold, due to the fact that they're: 1) down 3-1, 2) playing against the freshly crowned MVP who just dropped 40 on you in the previous game, and 3) not playing at home.

    But Portland is showing some serious heart / fight / guts / everything out there.

    How is this going to 7 again, would be great if it is going to 6

    3-1 GSW right now, GSW can win in Portland anytime

    The blazers look a lot like gs, the way they play, the way everyone can shoot and move

    If anyone deserves that, it's Bogut.

    yeah if they had a defense they would pretty much be the perfect offense to take on gsw. gsw basically doesn't have a way to guard their own offense with 2 crazy shooters who will take and make from anywhere.

    and GSW will probably explode a 40 points fourth quarter and finish the Blazers 4-1...

    Series is much closer than the 3-1 makes it look. Not that far off from 3-1 in the other teams favor.

    Seriously, imagine if the Rockets played with this much heart and effort... definitely wouldn't have been blown out every game
