Game Thread GAME# 78: BLAZERS @ WARRIORS - APRIL 3, 2016 - SUNDAY, 5:00 PM (PDT), KGW & NBATV

I wish the game was in Portland. The Warriors are 36-1 @ home. Obviously, the public opinion is tilted towards them. If we can keep with 6 points in the last two minutes we have a possibility but it would be small. I still want a Blazers win but I see Warriors by 5 101-96

REST DAMIAN LILLARD

The upcoming games are really much more important than having Dame burn energy now in what is almost certainly a loss no matter how well the Blazers play

So you're rooting for the Blazers to make the playoffs. Good. But there's no reason to rest Dame. He gets 8 off days in our ten days before the playoffs. Rest is coming. Unfortunately, Houston won today so tonight's game is important. The playoffs aren't locked down yet.

Wait wait wait waaaaait. So yesterday you talked about assets and how much you want them but now you're talking about how important these next few games are? Hmmmmm

Well it's too late for that isn't it?

 

[Cippy91]

Bogut and iggy are out.

So what happens if the blazers play really well and win? That does count, right? That wording is weird.

How the Celtics beat the Warriors by Coach Nick - good stuff.

I might tune in for the 4th quarter and see if it's close, but don't really want to invest 2.5 hours in this....

But you want to spend 3.5 hours complaining about it?

How about you enjoy the journey instead of seeing if they reached the destination. Wtf is this?

Yeah seriously lol. He should just check who won the title at the end of June and if the Blazers ever do it buy the documentary.

I think its the opposite; no champion has gone without losing to a single team twice in NBA history. In other words every NBA team has lost to an opponent twice. '96 Bulls lost to the Pacers twice. Warriors are trying to set that record by not losing to any team twice in a season. Either us or the Spurs have the chance to prevent them getting that record. I suppose theoretically Memphis as well.

Although its less of an impressive record in today's league with 30 teams. Now teams play conference opponents 3 or 4 times. Back in the day it was a minimum of 4 games sometimes more. In 1957 the Celtics and Knicks played 12 regular season games.

That may well have been what I read. I'll think about it during the ads during the game. Thanks.

I mean, hell... GSW won 11 straight when we beat them by 32 or whatever it was... they were rolling. LOL. Guess he probably tuned in at the 4th and was like "oh..."

 

[Cippy91]

Watches 4th quarters, complains like he's watched the whole game. Logic

 

[Draco]

Golden State introduces us to Star Wars evil empire music. Nice lol

 

[ripcityboy]

I hope we see a three point barrage from Dame and Curry today. Just pure skill. Kind of like when Clyde Drexler and Rolando Blackman used to try and outdue each other in taking it too the hoop. Talk about two guys that got under each others skin!

 

[Strenuus]

Great... Scott Foster is officitating this... the screw job will happen if it's close. lol.

 

[ripcityboy]

Great... Scott Foster is officitating this... the screw job will happen if it's close. lol.

Oh no.

 

[Jade Falcon]

It's time for Lillard to go ape shit. Especially at home.

Not anticipating a win, but hoping for a competitive loss. Go Blazers.

 

[ripcityboy]

Just glad Golden State's owner is letting us play them at home. Apparently since Golden State are so far ahead of everybody else, they gone into another time zone.

 

[Strenuus]

Hey, good start!!

 

[Blazinaway]

you guys gettin KGW feed okay? It's blank in Bend

 

[Strenuus]

Atta boy Lillard!

 

[Strenuus]

Curry can do everything. lol.

 

[Darkwebs]

Nice to see Lillard not settling for contested 3's, and instead attacking the rim.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Not a bad start!

 

[Strenuus]

Lets go boys... keep it close, and we good.

 

[riverman]

Good start!

 

[KingSpeed]

Told you guys. They can't guard us.

 

[Strenuus]

No, that's what I wanted you to say, and then drop the mic. But you didn't. I am sad.
