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

[LuckyShot]

lol Klay

 

[BrianFromWA]

I don't think this is a "Dame gets us 15 assists we win" night. Score, hombre....score.

 

[KingSpeed]

If we're talking about teams benefiting from opposition players missing through injury, how about we talk about all the teams who benefited from injuries to Walton, Bowie, Sabonis, Oden, Roy?

Or even Nurk and Davis last year in playoffs? Or the Warriors winning "title" against Cavs without Love or Irving?

 

[Labinot41]

Cooks going for 20. :MARIS61:

Told you

 

[KingSpeed]

Cooks going for 20. :MARIS61:

somebody on their team has to

 

[Lukee]

Man, their offense without Steph is trash. Seriously!

 

[LuckyShot]

Just cut out the idiot turnovers and we're doing well.

 

[BrianFromWA]

Did I really just watch a commercial that led off with Durant benching?!

 

[Labinot41]

Man, their offense without Steph is trash. Seriously!

Durant can allways explode

 

[KingSpeed]

Man, their offense without Steph is trash. Seriously!

the old Thunder with Cook instead of Westbrook and Thompson instead of Harden lol.

 

[DUB]

Or even Nurk and Davis last year in playoffs? Or the Warriors winning "title" against Cavs without Love or Irving?

Or the Cavs winning against the Warriors with no rim protection due to Bogut's injury.

 

[Strenuus]

somebody on their team has to

I see what you did there.

 

[LuckyShot]

So weird. They don't have a single rebound yet because the one time we missed a shot we got the board. All our other possessions that weren't made baskets were turnovers.

 

[Lukee]

Durant can allways explode

Sure, in iso game. But the system isn't there right now.

 

[riverman]

They're in our house...F' em

 

[Jade Falcon]

We really are the luckiest team in the league with those Warrior players being out.

Not a bad start, but those turn overs are maddening.

 

[KingSpeed]

Or the Cavs winning against the Warriors with no rim protection due to Bogut's injury.

Or the Warriors making it to last year's Finals because Kawhi Leonard got hurt in WCF.

 

[KingSpeed]

They're in our house...F' em

yeah

 

[KingSpeed]

yeah CJ

 

[LuckyShot]

CJ with the touch.

 

[BrianFromWA]

So weird. They don't have a single rebound yet because the one time we missed a shot we got the board. All our other possessions that weren't made baskets were turnovers.

you totally jinxed us!!1!

 

[LuckyShot]

Moe looks pretty focused on defense.

 

[LuckyShot]

you totally jinxed us!!1!

I thought about that, but it's not like anyone should expect them to not get a rebound all night.

 

[DUB]

Or the Warriors making it to last year's Finals because Kawhi Leonard got hurt in WCF.

Yep, you can only play who's in front of you, and injuries are part of the competition.

Staying fit, and healthy is part of the challenge of winning the championship.

 

[KingSpeed]

YEAH ET!!!

 

[Strenuus]

You better have made that 2nd one turner lol.

 

[LuckyShot]

I love how Dame showed so much confidence in Turner by zipping a pass right back to him for another shot.

 

[BrianFromWA]

the sad thing about that great D on Durant by Moe last possession is that a) Durant twisted as if he's been fouled, trying to draw it and b) you know that shit's getting called later.

 

[KingSpeed]

Yep, you can only play who's in front of you, and injuries are part of the competition.

Staying fit, and healthy is part of the challenge of winning the championship.

Kawhi was fit but Zaza stuck his foot into Kawhi's landing space.

 

[KingSpeed]

Way to go Chief!
