One Portland morning radio guy has been repeatedly advocating for Meyers to play whenever Pachulia is in, suggesting that that is the only matchup in which he can be mildly effective.

I'm not sure if he's talking about MyLe or ZaZa...

Yeah, it's idiotic that Meyers is not matched-up with Pachulia. That's the only time he's not at a major disadvantage on the defensive end. Stupid stupid stupid.

I wish we saved Lillard's and CJ's game 1 performance for game 2 now that Durant might not play

 

[Orion Bailey]

It really works!

Why cant they just do it again?

 

[PDXFonz]

Steve Kerr is a smart coach. Steve Kerr knows the Warriors can still beat the Blazers without Durant, and he knows it could be deflating to his opponent if that happens.

If we play the same way we did in game 1 we have a legitimate shot at winning tonight. Thompson is no Durant, he's good, but he's not Durant good.

They did. That was just a warm up game....

You forced me to Google "juicero".

I now understand this tweet.

I thought perhaps Juicero was the Brazilian Justin Bieber

Meyers Leonard is like that last kid at daycare whose parents are hella late to pick him up, and you have to stick around and watch him until they get there.

Are we the parents? And if so, can we just abandon him?

C'mon CJ - way to jinx yourself!

Well, that's definitely suboptimal.

All bizzness!

Wait... 4 refs? Did they have 4 in game 1? Or is one an alternate? PLEASE HAVE BROTHERS BE THE ALTERNATE.. That guy is so fucking shady and crooked.

So, if that's Elvis in... when people leave, does it say Elvis has left the building?

Rodney Mott is the alternate official, thank god.

The players would take one look at him and have flashbacks to the Wizards game.

No no. Brothers is the worst official in the league. He needs to be the alternate.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Can it be game time yet??

 

[riverman]

I have a good feelin' about this game....Go Blazers!

 

[KingSpeed]

Hey I listened to an interview with GS radio guy and he talked about CJ and Dray and how both players are class acts! He actually thinks Draymond is a class act. I love it.

He's an absolute dick on the court... but from the interviews I have seen with him, he seems like a very nice guy.

 

[BonesJones]

This is the series right here.

No KD, have a chance to go back home tied 1-1 with a possible Nurkic return.

Here we go.

 

[Cippy91]

Must win with Durant out tonight

 

[Chris Craig]

Must win tonight. If Dame and CJ play like they did game 1 and the Blazers show up defensively, that's a winning formula. Bench needs to do more, though dame and CJ can't disappear in the 4th this time.

Let's see who would we rather have officiating a blind guy or the devil
