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

Klay wasn't that good defensively when he first came into the league either.

 

Difference is Klay is 6'7. McCollum is 6'4 without great athleticism like a DWade. He's more like a prime Ben Gordon.

 

Are you kidding? Ask the players what the Warriors fans were like during the lousy years with Monta Ellis.

 

Barnes can defend the post.

Was talking about McCollum vs Klay, not Barnes. Barnes is def not worth the max, or anywhere close.

 

Damian really came thru, when is Curry returning again?

 

dl for jh. who says no?

 

Portland

 

CJ is a nice player and will get better but I don't think it will be a big leap. He hasn't gotten a ton of minutes in the league but he's not as young as many people think, turning 25 in a couple of months. His scoring skillset is already great but it's been inconsistent in the playoffs, more bad games than good.

 

That gives credit to their local fans, probably deservedly so.

That doesn't relate to the fact that when I lived in Phoenix during the 2015 playoffs, every bar was full of people in Golden State jerseys cheering for Curry every night.

The irritating bandwagoners aren't the ones living in Oakland.

 

Im not talking about the fans in their hometown. They deserve to be Warriors fans. I'm talking about the incessant ever increasing number of GSW jerseys in every arena. When I attended game 3 of the Houston series, I saw people come in with Curry jerseys and when the Rockets took a 15 point lead, they put on the rockets t-shirts handed out over their jerseys. What kind of people are these? That is UNACCEPTABLE in my book.

 

I don't know why you're unnecessarily getting yourself worked up over this. There's always been bandwagon fans, and there will forever be bandwagon fans, in every sport. Deal with it, or continue to cry about something that will never change. Your choice.

 

Why would that be a surprise? You were a fan of Magic's Laker? Bird's Celtic? Jordan's bull? Warriors play an entertaining brand of ball, so all the bandwagon fans and basketball fans are going to jump on it. I loved Watching those Lakers and Celtic teams in the 80's and the Jordan's Bulls.

What is sick was all those stupid Kobe and Lakers fans outside of Los Angeles!!! Every stadium was full of Lakers and Kobe Jersey.
Now that was truely sick!!!

Two teams I hate beating each other up, Win win for me. I just can't decide which team I hate worse. Everytime I get happy about lillard going off I remember his 3 point dagger and walking away with that look like "I ain't suprised Mother***" look.
