WARRIORS @ BLAZERS - APRIL 13TH, 2014 - SUNDAY, 6:00 PM (PST), CSNNW

That's a tall order.

Crazier things have happened

 

[KeepOnRollin]

That's a tall order.

Agreed. So if HOU wins their next game then we can rest vs Clips.

 

[magnifier661]

I do, but I'm not trying to say we are far behind because both teams are good. I just like Curry in the playoffs over Aldridge/Lillard. If we were to ever meet, though, super unlikely, it would be fun and of course I would cheer and hope we could take them, but I think they could do beat us.

I disagree. I would rather have a player that can play the post and Lillard able to do his thing. We have almost the same supporting cast though.

Yes

 

[PDXFonz]

The end of this game embodies this season. The players are having fun, the fans are having fun. Regardless of what happens this has been an amazingly entertaining season to watch!

HOU plays the Spurs tomorrow. The Spurs have first place locked in, so they may rest their main guys.

You also said most everyone else would disagree with you. I bet you're wrong.

Aldridge can be good in the post no doubt, but he still takes his fair share of long fadeaways which saddens me. I would think Lillard would do better offensively than tonight, but his defense is just horrid and Klay owned him multiple times. They took advantage of whoever Lillard was guarding multiple times which would kill us.

They've been doing that all season. They still win.

Someone rep this man for me, great post!

They did that against Portland and smoked 'em.

 

[B-Roy]

Rockets are 3-0 against the Spurs this season so far.

We most likely will, but our B-team can beat the Rockettes so there is a glimmer of hope

 

[riverman]

Aldridge got the game winning rebound tonight...just sayin'

We don't need rest. We don't play until Wed. and there is plenty of rest time between the playoff games.

It's a great opportunity to send a message to the Clips.

 

[riverman]

I agree with this! Second the motion

 

[illmatic99]

So outside of Dame shitting the bed for much of the night, that was the most fun bball game I've watched this season. I'm gonna need a few days to recover from that mental back and forth battle, especially in OT. Holy shit.

Too bad the playoffs are around the corner. NO REST

A game where their bench in total outscored our bench, our bench had a much bigger impact. Mo was HUGE tonight for us. We played 3 bench players, likely our playoff rotation, and they were +10, +11, +15. Not always just abotut bench scoring, but about that one guy off the bench just getting Mo buckets

By rest I don't mean hold anyone out.

 

[riverman]

This was a really important game to win to clinch 5th seed. I think Stotts rotations worked really well tonight. Dame was a bit off his game but TRob, Dorell, Mo, and all the starters played hard tonight like they wanted it.

 

[riverman]

Anytime you beat a team with one guy scoring about 50pts and one 25pts, you gotta feel good

 

[Natebishop3]

The Warriors have such a crazy backcourt. If they make it out of the first round, it will be because those two guys shot them out of it.

Their record is not better soooooo they are not....

 

[illmatic99]

Stotts said he didn't get across to the players well enough to take the foul at the end of regulation when Green hit that three. You'd think the players wouldn't need screaming from their coach to do this. This game was the first time all season when I felt our inexperience.

Too bad Mark Jackson and his squad are dumber.

However, nental mistakes from both teams were the reason we had such a great game, so I can't complain too much.

 

[maxiep]

By the way, we're now 8-2 in our last 10. A good ramp to the playoffs.

8-1 since Aldridge came back

 

[Strenuus]

WOW!!! For my only game of the season that I'll see live, THAT was NUTS!!! It's the best game I can remember in the last 2-3 years. The 4th quarter and OT was just bedlam. It would be loud for 24 seconds, then 20,000 collective groans as curry does what he did all night. That OT was just stupid. Shot after shot after shot. It's definitely the biggest rollercoaster I can remember. I was sitting a row in front of some GSW fans (There must have been 1,000 of them there... they were everywhere!) And we were trading WHOO'S! seemingly every play. They were from Oakland, so I can understand why they were cheering for them. After that Green 3 to tie it, I just turned around and went "Seriously? What the hell else can happen? Curry is probably getting 50." And then he almost does! GSW does have some really respectful fans.

Some notes -

-I got early admission into the arena to watch some practice. GOOD lord is Lopez tall and built! Dame hit about 20 three's in a row. LMA's jump shot... he barely gets off the floor. I didn't know that.

- For pretty much the entire game, there was a bat/bird flying around the arena.

-I want to reiterate, and hope it came over the broadcast. That place was NUTS! There was two times where I just simply couldn't hear anything but a steady stream of cheering. There were several times where it went from "YES!!!!!!!!!!!" To "OH MY gosh!!!" with hands over the head. I don't remember a game like that in a long time.

- It was a playoff atmosphere through and through.

- I hate the Moda center. It felt very... I don't know... "Idiocracy".. "Hello, welcome to Walmart." Everything seemed so contrived and "by the book".

- Regardless, game of the year, bar none. What a win!!!!!

That thing has been in the arena for a while now. Where the hell is Blaze when you need him?

Getting paid by the corporation!

 

[THE HCP]

Damian looks like a d-leaguer sometimes. How did he ever make the all-star game? He's clearly not even close to the same level as Steph Curry. Portland doesn't deserve to complete in the playoffs, they're just a joke right now.

wow
