Game Thread PLAYOFFS: ROUND 1, GAME 2: BLAZERS @ WARRIORS - 4/19/17, WEDNESDAY, 7:30 PM (PDT), KGW & TNT

No one wanted playoffs without Plumlee or Nurkic. Fuck we don't even have Davis.

This was going to happen with Plumlee + Davis

 

[Strenuus]

Then why did they list him as questionable for Game 1 and then suddenly out for Game 2? They couldn't make up their mind.

All I was saying is that I didn't get all caught up in the "is nurk playing" business.... I just had a feeling he wasnt going to play.

 

[KingSpeed]

Putting in the backups with 8 minutes left? Think this series is over.

It is if Nurk doesn't play. Anyone with a brain knows we couldn't beat GS without Nurkic. I mean even if CJ and Dame score near 80, this team couldn't win. And they scored 75 and we lost.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Just turned the game off. Pathetic effort. Goodnight.

 

[KingSpeed]

This was going to happen with Plumlee + Davis

We led them 56% of the series with those guys last season.

 

[BonesJones]

Everytime Vonleh gets close to the rim he ends up doubled over and unable to jump. I have no idea why.

 

[Cippy91]

All of you who wanted playoffs over the lotto I hope your happy with yourselves cause this is what you asked for

BUT BUT PLAYOFF EXPERIENCE!!

yeah I am thinking lotto would of been better. First game was good but that was dame and cj playing their best together, this shit is a sweep

 

[Strenuus]

I'm going to miss Game 3 because I work all damn day. Ugh. Nurk better be back or just sweep this shit.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

I watched Rogue One, a movie in which all the heroes die, instead of this game. I'm sorry, but I regret nothing.

 

[chzbrgr]

We led them 56% of the series with those guys last season.

And they added KD

So what? You want a cookie for being right?

Yes I am. Fuck off.

 

[e_blazer]

Well, maybe the Warriors will be lulled into complacency for Game 3 and maybe the Blazers will remember how to play basketball. Right? Right?

 

[BonesJones]

We led them 56% of the series with those guys last season.

They didn't have Steph half the series, and they didnt have KD.

That's irrelevant now.

 

[Strenuus]

So what? You want a cookie for being right?

Yeah! I'll bring the milk.

 

[KingSpeed]

And they added KD

They're better without KD. Their longest win streak of the season was without KD. KD is just there to collect a ring

 

[PHXBlazer1]

theyre better without durant

 

[TBpup]

We led them 56% of the series with those guys last season.

.....yet they won 80% of the games....and added Durant.

 

[ripcityboy]

King. Nurk ain't Bill Russell. The talent floor difference is just too much. If we were creating all kind of mismatches with them, ya we got a series. But they can match us at almost every position. Wishful thinking only goes so far. I'm trying to find a positive though.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Hey @SlyPokerDog, how come it won't let me slope my letters?

Slope? You mean italicize?

 

[Strenuus]

They're better without KD. Their longest win streak of the season was without KD. KD is just there to collect a ring

I find this funny because you literally started a thread stating the opposite.

 

[BlazerBeav]

They play better without Durant. Against Cleveland, though, they'll be glad to have him.

 

[BonesJones]

Calabro trying to sugar-coat this is painful to listen to.

 

[TBpup]

Barrett did that too....I think it's in their contracts.

I want everyone in our organisation to try their hardest to do their best, every single day. From the players, to the coaches, to management, to @HCP; everyone pulling in the same direction; and let the cards fall as they may.

Deliberately losing promotes a culture of failure, that will have repercussions far beyond this or next season.

 

[MickZagger]

Where's Luis Montero when you need him?

 

[Five Second Violation]

Calabro trying to sugar-coat this is painful to listen to.

"I think these Sonics have at least made a valiant effort tonight"

 

[Strenuus]

LMFAO Meyers.

 

[RipCityDSCPL]

Slope? You mean italicize?

No I had the word thoughts descending downwards but when I hit post reply it came up as straight down. That wasn't what I was going for.
