If Portland wins, the Warriors play yet ANOTHER injured team in the WCF. The luck that team has is ridiculous.
Watching this game, Blazers really want this and we're clearly missing a big man off the bench who can hold his own as well as a versatile forward with size. CJ MCollum hustles more than I've seen Harden do. That's what it takes to win.
Let's be real here though for a moment. Rockets beat both of these teams pretty easily. I'm pretty confident of that.
Yeah but props to Portland though. As bad as the Rockets situation may be, I'm glad I still love the sport as a whole.
Say what you want about Lilliard and CJ, they come up big when needed, are clutch and tough. Blazers as a whole, gotta respect that. I think they have a good chance to upset the Warriors, though Nuggets size could be most advantageous.
