Game Thread GAME# 66: WARRIORS @ BLAZERS - MARCH 9, 2018 - FRIDAY, 7:00 PM (PST), NBCSNW

[Jade Falcon]

All they have to do is feed the ball to Durant. The idea of Turner stopping him on Defense is utterly hilarious. Durant is going to eat Turner alive.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

The Rockets will finish with the best record. They're currently in the lead, and GS learned the hard way that spending
too much energy in the regular season is shortsighted. They do want home court advantage, but it won't be their
focus.

People still question whether the Rockets can compete with GS, so they'll try to get the best record to prove to
everyone that they can.

 

[crandc]

Warriors are talking about running the table going into the playoffs. Time to spill some coffee into their laps.

 

[illmatic99]

They'll be coming off a back to back. National TV game vs the Spurs and a late start to boot.

We need to take advantage.

.....Evan Turner on Kevin Durant?

Please tell me that's a joke.

Hurry back soon Moe!

Yeah we need Moe back, but not because he can do a better job on Durant. KD went for 50 last time. Aminu and Hark had the bulk of those duties.

No one has the length to stop KD when he rises to shoot. You are probbaly better off defending him when the ball is on the floor. Although that does not work much either, but ET does have quick hands. (Although they need ET more on Klay)

Both Turner/Durant and Aminu/Green are AWFUL situations for us.

If quick hands (and feet) are the key, maybe we should just put Shabazz on KD.

Be offended.

I was comparing ET and Harkless, who both weigh the same. I just don't see much of a difference between the two......based on the 5o point performance last time.

Shabazz on the other hand weighs 45 lbs less.....plus I like his effort on Curry

The weight difference would only be at issue if KD were taking Bazz into the post. Am I alone in thinking I'd rather have KD posting up than bombing from deep?

Late in games when we are up by 3, yeah I would prefer Durant driving where our bigs can help out. But not all game long. I do love Bazz' D though.

 

[crandc]

Yes, back to back, late game etc etc but these guys are champions for a reason. And they are fighting for #1 seed. Don't take them lightly. No lapses against this team.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Of all the things to worry about, I don't believe the Blazers taking Golden State lightly is one of them. They will have our full attention - my concern is that we will have their full attention.

 

[UncleCliffy'sDaddy]

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!

Go easy on those wine coolers Stren..........

 

[BrunoSOC]

Big game for us. They will came to Portland in a second night of a back to back. They face the spurs first so i hope they beat them. Moda Center needs to be a factor on this game. I can see a big game from Dame. Go Blazers!

 

[riverman]

I'm ready for this one!

 

[DDolla]

Just Win Blazers!

 

[THE HCP]

HUGE game! Statement game! One of many we will have down the stretch. I will say that if we play like we did against the Knicks, we will get absolutely destroyed! Need the other guys to step up for this one.

Going to need 5 or 6 guys in double digit scoring for this one

if we hit 20 threes we'll get blown out?

 

[Boise Blazer]

I really don't know how in the world they couldn't be anything but crazy hype for this game. The crowd too. This could show a lot about our growth as a young team.

 

[Labinot41]

We're lucky af this Season
