Re the poll: Rockets will find a way to fuck it up. GS will get 1 seed.

Re the poll: Rockets will find a way to fuck it up. GS will get 1 seed.

And miss the playoffs while also losing in the first round.

 

[LuckyShot]

Fun fact: The Warriors' last 4 losses were all to teams in our division. Only Minnesota has dropped the ball.

 

[theprunetang]

Clutch fans are going to become Blazers fans during this game.

 

[Darkwebs]

Portland's 8-game streak began with the Warriors.

Will it end with the Warriors as well?

You should start posting a little comment like this at the top of game threads!

 

[Strenuus]

I get off work at 6:45 that night AND have saturday off? Did someone say buy alcohol for this game? THIS GUY DID. LETS GO.

I want this win pretty freaking bad.

GO BLAZERS!

Really?

 

[blazerkor]

We have the momentum and we know we can beat the Warriors, it just comes down to execution. Dame has to be the best player on the floor and he very well could be. We can keep this win streak going. Go Blazers!!!

 

[KingSpeed]

I think we'll win. What keeps me up at night our the last 5 games of the season. We need to win those and 4 of them are on the road.

 

[Sarni]

I feel good about this game. We have an excellent record and a few winnable games following this one so even if we lose I am not particularly worried and winning against Warriors for the second time in one month would be a huge confidence boost to the team.

 

[Lukee]

They'll be on b2b, Thursday against Spurs, hopefully Spurs can push them hard till the end, but still loose. LOL

Hurry back soon Moe!

Looking at the picture weight differences is like comparing Spud Webb to Karl Malone. hahaha

 

[stampedehero]

I hope Pechulia gets his...........

 

[Mr. Robot]

I joke a lot, but I really cant see GSW losing two games to us... I think theyll come to play and win

but Dame is hot, so I guess its possible

I'm with you. I dread this upcoming game. However, I didn't see us winning against them before the all star break either. We just have to sit back and watch. And that is why sports are amazing! You never know.

 

[stampedehero]

< Insert any GS player......

 

[TBpup]

If ever there was a shot to win 2 games in a row against the Warriors, this is it. Two days rest while they are on the 2nd of a back-to-back after a late TV game the night before. You couldn't ask for much more to be in your favor except for injuries but I don't wish those on anyone.

btw LMA must be feelin good seeing us at 3rd seed

Yeah, I've got tix to this game, and considering if I should sell them. Not sure if I'm going to enjoy the whooping I expect the W's to put on us on Friday...

You've been reverse jinxing us to wins through this win streak and now you stop ??! If we lose it's on you !

 

[tlongII]

Nurk will need a big game. If he plays well we can win.
