If the Blazers don't win the championship this year, who would you prefer to win it instead?

Wearing Blazer shirt (with another underneath so as not to offend anyone's modesty).

NO pressure on Blazers; even Warriors announcers said they are playing with "house money". Pressure is all on Warriors.

Go Blazers.
 
I get the feeling the Warriors think they are unbeatable. They aren't.

I also get the feeling they think, first, they are going to win tonight, and second, even if they don't, once "Steph" gets back, they will just crush us in two straight.

Call me delusional, but these a-holes are ripe for an upset. And the Blazers are just the team to do it.

Tonight we tie it up 2-2.

:cheers:
 
This Warriors team has been so NBA ref coddled all season, they don't know what a level playing court feels like. If the refs call a straight game, the Warriors will be befuddled, bewildered, and beaten.
 
We can't expect Aminu to repeat his offense performance from game 3. Someone else has to step up. Both Crabbe and Henderson need to shoot 50%.

I also don't expect Dame to get 40, nor do I expect Green to hit eight 3"s.

My concern is Iguodala. He was 0-5 last game. That worries me as he has killed us in the past.

Iggy will bring it tonight. There is no doubt about that.
 
The Warriors have disrespected the Blazers after both times we've beaten them. You know in the backs of their minds they think they can't lose to us. And that if they lose tonight, no big deal, they'll just take care of business when they get home and when Curry gets back. The mental aspect of sports is so important, and when athletes are this close to the same level, it's the most important. The mental game is our advantage right now. Blazers need to brain fuck them.

Myself and The HCP Jr. will be at the game. The first time I've sat down and enjoyed an NBA playoff game in person since Game 5 of the 1992 NBA western conference semis between our Blazers and the hated Suns at the MC! Hope we bring some Bueno Suerte with us!

I shouldn't be surprised because it's Green but I am...
Back in April he said they believe they really only had 7 losses on the year. He listed portland as one of those teams.
I guess he didn't really mean what he said.

Honestly, I think the key to victory against a Curry-less Warriors is to let Klay and Green get theirs, and stop them from getting a third scorer going. Game 2 kind of came down to Festus fucking Ezili and Harrison Fucking Barnes.
 
I can only imagine the game thread of the game back in 92 I was at...... People on here would have been bitching about Clyde's shot selection and horrible post defense of Duckworth.... How Hornecek flopped and Tom Chambers was a dirty player!

I am hoping for a CJ explosion. I have not seen CJ really catch fire yet in these playoffs. Tonight would be an excellent night for it.

He's had decent counting stats but his 3 point shooting has fallen off a cliff. Not sure what is happening because he's missing some good shots. Tonight would be a good game for him to bust out of his shooting slump.

Hornacek did flop - constantly - and Chambers WAS a dirty player!
 
This game is probably the toughest game we have faced all year. Against all odds. Let's do this!
 
I think Golden State is just trying to mess with our heads. I fully anticipate that Curry will be upgraded to probably after morning shoot-around and he'll play tonight. Hopefully I'm wrong and it's just the pessimist in me.

Fuck. I am not a fan of this crew at all.

Malloy has gotten a little better, only because there was no way to go but up for him. (He was horrible when he first started out)

Scott Foster is just as bad as always, but Tom Washington.......... he has gotten a lot worse. He makes some horrible calls and is unwilling to explain why. Very arrogant

Not sure it favors one team more, just that we can expect a frustrating night from the zebras.
 
Seriously. It's critical the Blazers come out strong. Game 2 until the end, and Game 3, introduced DOUBTS into the Warriors, who had considered themselves invulnerable. If the Blazers rush out the gate firing on all cylinders the doubts will fester. If they come out lackadaisical and let GSW control early, GSW gets their moxie back.

No

This....well the first part...GS is trying to use some mental warfare on us, get us nervous...curry will probably even come out in his gear, but not end up playing,vor if he does it will be off the bench in short minutes...I almost hope he does, it will mess up the Warriors
 
As a Blazers fan, I'd LOVE for Stephen (refuse to call him "Steph," 'cause it's lame) to play tonight! There's NO WAY that knee is even close to healthy, yet. He better be careful... I know they want to win this series, but he doesn't wanna re-injure it like D. Rose did!
