Game Thread PLAYOFFS: ROUND 1, GAME 3: WARRIORS @ BLAZERS - 4/22/17, SATURDAY, 7:30 PM (PDT), KGW & ESPN (1 Viewer)

[H.C.]

Can't give up the lead again. Saw this movie last year...

 

[EGame]

what does vonleh really think hes gonna do.

 

[KingSpeed]

Ugh

 

[LuckyShot]

lol refs rewarding the flop to put 3 fouls on Noah. What the fuck.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Pass the fucking ball

This driddle ISO shit is garbage

 

[BrianFromWA]

we've only scored 6 pts in 4 minutes.

 

[TBpup]

Good defense by Vonleh on Curry both of those last 2 possessions.

 

[KingSpeed]

Good first half.

 

[BrianFromWA]

decent D by Noah there...didn't go for Curry's head fake.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Vonleh played Curry great the last two possessions, curry just hit some crazy shit.

 

[Paine Tablet]

Pass the fucking ball

This driddle ISO shit is garbage

If they didn't call a BS foul he would've scored two points.

 

[B-Roy]

I'd like to see the numbers when green and McGee are both in the game. Feels like they are freely dicking us every time they run this lineup.

 

[PDXFonz]

I swear Curry shoots better with ridiculous coverage

 

[ripcityboy]

I think our reserves just have to play smarter. Hopefully that comes with age.

 

[EGame]

need our others to keep doing what they are. if not this will be a repeat of game 1 unless cj and dame both get 50. Eventually steph and/or klay will start feeling it.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Good first half.

One down, 31 more good halves to go.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

I swear Curry shoots better with ridiculous coverage

He also seems like he is automatic from the left side of the arc

 

[LuckyShot]

I'd like to see the numbers when green and McGee are both in the game. Feels like they are freely dicking us every time they run this lineup.

Because we don't have a C on the floor and McGee can just run around out reaching everybody.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Perfect storm

Lillard and CJ dominant
Rebounds dominant
Curry and Thompson awful

Only up 13.

This 3rd quarter will be huge

Very concerned

 

[blue9]

Noah is a much better defender than Aminu. He might not get those weak-side/trailing blocks that Aminu gets, but he's a much better defender. He knows how to stay home on his assignment.

 

[Mediocre Man]

If they didn't call a BS foul he would've scored two points.

LOL. Of course

 

[joeBlazers]

We are leading at half time. Let's keep this up boys ... The bench can't go back to their old self. I know Dame and CJ will continue to score. But Chief? Mo? A.C ? Shabazz?

 

[BrianFromWA]

Perfect storm

Lillard and CJ dominant
Rebounds dominant
Curry and Thompson awful

Only up 13.

This 3rd quarter will be huge

Very concerned

Agree, though I think if we can use Nurk's limited minutes to take McGee out of it (goodness knows Javale's not sniffing out P&R's) and getting in his head, let Noah do what he's been doing against Draymond.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Ive only seen 1 foul i thought was bogus. Aminus block early when he hit the guys head and chest should have been a clean block in the playoffs.

Aminu and Crabbe contributing as well.

Overcoming some ref BS.

 

[BrianFromWA]

a report I read on Javale earlier in the year...

Now, the Warriors starters + JaVale, their DRTG drops a bit, to 103 (equivalent of the 6th best D last year, not bad), but their ORTG goes to...

1.31
THAT IS FUCKING CRAZY.

TLR

JaVale is terrible at defense compared to Zaza. However, despite his terrible defensive fundamentals, JaVale doesn't sink the defense (103 vs 101). And it may not matter because he is elite at finishing, and kicks the offense to maximum hyperdrive (118 vs 131).

I feel like Nurk both takes away McGee's offensive efficiency and exploits his defensive dumbness.

 

[Paine Tablet]

Anyone watching these bronze guys in underwear balancing on each other during commercial break? I'm streaming the game so I'm seeing it. It's weird. I couldn't help but wonder what would happen if that guy's weight caused the other dude's skull to crush. I mean he had the full force of his body weight square on the dome on the guy on the bottom.

 

[KingSpeed]

Noah is a much better defender than Aminu. He might not get those weak-side/trailing blocks that Aminu gets, but he's a much better defender. He knows how to stay home on his assignment.

Nuggets board thinks Noah will be a perennial DPOY candidate.

 

[LuckyShot]

Ive only seen 1 foul i thought was bogus. Aminus block early when he hit the guys head and chest should have been a clean block in the playoffs.

Multiple fouls with very minimal contact where Warrior players were seeking contact and not getting it as our players were backing up and giving ground trying to avoid fouling, lost balance and fell, got call anyway on nearest Blazer.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Aminu and Crabbe contributing as well.

Overcoming some ref BS.

Fuck your ref BS. They have been fine
