Steph Curry out for tonight

[SportsAndWhine]

We have been sooo lucky.

Better to be lucky.

I have a terrible feeling about this

GS was already motivated to beat us. They do not want to lose two straight to ANYONE and they were going into someone’s building that has won 8 straight

Now they’re going to rally around Steph’s injury and play like they’re the underdogs or some dumb shit like that

Durant goes for double nickel tonight

Klay 30

Draymond triple double

Of course I hope I’m dead wrong and an idiot

So.....you’re saying Draymond is gonna boot 3 sets of nutsacks tonight.....?

Can we change the title of this thread to Game Thread #2 please

Hey, it's my thread. The only #2 I do is done in the privacy of a bathroom.

 

[Boob-No-More]

I don’t think MM was saying that. He was reminding those that we played about 6 teams in the first 1/4 of the season without their best player and we lost...... a bunch at home if I’m not mistaken. Thats all he was saying.

I don't think that's what he's saying at all, but best to let him clarify. He's most likely including players like Jimmy Butler and Steph Curry in his injured stars that have missed games against POR list.

I REALLY doubt if he's saying that. If we lost those games, how does that make us lucky?

I brought it up earlier in THE ACTUAL GAME THREAD.....because I swore I saw somebody say this should be and “easy win” now. Which is foolish on so many levels and especially because we have played quite a few teams without their best player and still lost....at home. Guess I shouldn’t try to speak for MM huh?

Well that's clearly not what he posted but then again, I'm not sure if I speak or understand MM language. lol

How could we be lucky if he meant we didn't win games against teams early in the season when they were missing a key player(s)

Two different things. MM didn't say this should be an easy win, he said we've been fortunate to face so many teams missing an injured star.

[SportsAndWhine]

Its clear MM is saying our record is inflated and we aren’t for real and to quit getting excited because the team is still kinda crappy because we occasionally play teams without their best players.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

I always get a kick out of posters who make those kind of posts as if the injured players only miss games against the Blazers.

Running through a query of games missed by players who were 15ppg+ scorers last year and had a VORP over 2.0. There were 35. So far through the first 10, there are a cumulative 139 games missed, with 6 of those being against Portland, tied for 4th most in the league. As I complete the research, I'll update my findings...

Really? Did JinxSpeed take over your account? Arguing just to argue? All he means by using the term “lucky” is that we were given and easier opportunity than other teams. We played a bunch of teams without their stars is all. We were LUCKY they didn’t suit up......our team shit the bed and didn’t capitalize on the LUCKY opertunity we were handed obviously. Like right now, we are LUCKY to play the Dubs without Curry tonight.
Let me put in a scenario most on here might be able to grasp........

This is starting to read like a game thread?

I always knew someone would stroke out on here, just never guessed it would be HCP.

lol. didn't mean to upset HCP (he seems like a cool guy) so much and not sure why he is so hell bent on speaking on behalf of someone else (mediocre man). Let the man speak for himself, but it is very clear what Mediocre Man said.

HCP is a nice guy but a very mediocre hispanic.

You may be onto something...

Mediocre is spelled the same in Spanish as it is in English.

Maybe this whole time, Mediocre Man has really been HCP's alternate identity.

I can’t believe I typed in Klingon and NONE of you gave me props. Also, I love that “FUCKING NERDS” is the same in both languages.

Those need to be added to his stats. How many nuttsacks he averages a game.

Like you didn't know....

 

[BBert]

I have less than zero compassion for any team the Blazers play that isn't at full strength. Teams playing at less than full strength is a fact of life in the NBA. And I honestly doubt any team has suffered from it more in the last 40 years than the Blazers.

To quote a famous douche: "Tough shit".

No asterisks are given.

Play ball!

[illmatic99]

ALways wondered why people say that?

This game is a measuring stick for us. To see if we can at least hang with them when they're firing on all cylinders.

Not complaining, rather, it's frustrating that we can't face these teams at full strength to get an idea of how we might perform if matched up in the playoffs.

Not sure they will be full strength in the playoffs. The Warriors pretty much won a championship on the backs of injured teams they played 3 years ago.

I can respect that, but at this point in the season and the situation we are in, I'll take an actual W over us playing well against a full healthy team and an L. Moral victories are for summer league.

That said, I think this team WITHOUT Curry is still better than us, so we need to bring it regardless.

Yeah they still got Durant, Thompson and Green. Just those three make it a tough matchup on any given night.

Plus, if they're starting Livingston, that's a lot of length for our backcourt to try to both score over and defend against. We're giving up several inches at nearly every position.
