Game Thread WEST FINALS, GAME 3: WARRIORS @ BLAZERS - MAY 18, 2019, SATURDAY, 6PM, ESPN (4 Viewers)

As much as i like Dame he is letting the warriors D get into his head since they have blocked a decent amount of his driving shots and when his outside shot is not falling that is bad news for Blazer fans. He needs to find a way to adjust and to be honest it seems like he might be trying too hard and making silly mistakes almost rookie like mistakes too.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

For the first time everytime Lillard touches the ball I feel that it's going to be a turnover or a brick - the same feeling one gets when Turner is on the floor.

He's playing like he's intimidated.

 

[andalusian]

Might be time to get Zach to cover green

 

[Scalma]

Either this is the best strain I’ve ever bought or Meyers Leonard is the xfactor

 

[H.C.]

Green must hold the 100m world record. How is he the fastest guy down the court, with the ball, every time he wants to. Ridiculous.

Need to turn the dribble. No reason with 4.4s he should be allowed to dribble straight down the court.

 

[Lukee]

Imagine if we had won game 2. holy moly.... we can beat them, there is absolutely good chance for us.

 

[DDolla]

When we make a basket, someone just look at Green and stop the ball. How hard is that?

 

[Wade Garrett]

So far...after 10 qtrs. Blazers giving the champs all they can handle.
Kerr admitted they stole game 2, they're gonna have to"steal" this game too.
Portland totally outplaying them..again.

 

[riverman]

Flameballs are a thing?

It's a Meyers chant...think of it as Larry the Cable Guy saying.."Gitter done"

 

[Dubsfan]

Dubcon3 (term made up by Warriors radio station) needs to happen again or this will be a blowout.

 

[HailBlazers]

GS’s offense has been draymond pushing the ball and NO one picking him up, how are our forwards not getting between him and the basket come on...

Because if you breathe on him you'll get called for a foul..

 

[SportsAndWhine]

Okay what universe is this? Meyers Leonard is the Blazers high scorer, we’re shooing twice as many FTs as the Warriors, and up by 13...

I mean... i like it but holy hell im confused!

 

[Labinot41]

Dame go Fawken wake up!!!!!

He sucks the entire series, i doubt he wakes up

 

[GhostOfPGA]

Dame will figure it out, I personally think he needs to go to the midrange shots off screens. He’s open for a split second there and if he pulls up it’s there for the taking.

 

[riverman]

Either this is the best strain I’ve ever bought or Meyers Leonard is the xfactot

or......cough, cough....both

 

[Chris Craig]

What have they done with the real Stotts? The real one doesn't make rash changes like this...

He is safe I guarantee you...he will be returned unharmed after the series

 

[LuckyShot]

As much as i like Dame he is letting the warriors D get into his head since they have blocked a decent amount of his driving shots and when his outside shot is not falling that is bad news for Blazer fans. He needs to find a way to adjust and to be honest it seems like he might be trying too hard and making silly mistakes almost rookie like mistakes too.

Needs to draw the defense to him, and his teammates need to move to the vacated areas to give him a passing angle. Aminu and Harkless are bad at just standing at the wing and watching their defender sag down and rip on Dame or CJ.

 

[H.C.]

No one is calling Meyers Leonard miles.
Oh right McHale isn't on TV anymore

 

[Dom McBlazer]

And here I was thinking that this was going to be a handicap match with Meyers starting. Glad he's proven me wrong. Let's finish this off right this time!

 

[Chris Craig]

Guess what? They're going to come out and do the same thing they did last 3rd quarter. Will we let them do it for the entire quarter before adjusting again?

Nope. Not today.

 

[JDC]

Blazers transition defense is so freaking bad this series

Yup.

The trapping and switching has led to some cross matches that we've done a poor job communicating on.

They're so aggressive too. Multiple guys that can lead the break also helps.

 

[BlayZa]

im fine with teh Green show, if it keeps it away from steph n klay

meyers has been great, i know he watches a lot of film and with his focus now seemingly more on high energy, activity n speed - not spotting up on the perimeter as a 7 foot SG, he's pretty much everywhere and its great. he is super athletic and its nice to see him finally using his actual strengths to his advantage. took about 4yrs too long, but hey.

we need a solid 3rd Q here, we've fallen apart in the 3rd recently, it used to be our period where dame often went ham and we'd push out, but hasnt been the case for a while.

let's gone blazers!@

 

[riverman]

Dubcon3 (term made up by Warriors radio station) needs to happen again or this will be a blowout.

Let's just go with "this will be a blowout"

 

[hoopsjock]

Am I really watching Meyers Leonard dominate a WCF game?

 

[Jade Falcon]

I saw Layman massaging his knee with something on the bench.

I mean, really? You getting a cramp from the bench or something?

 

[Aussie Blazer!]

Enes off the bench has also been an excellent adjustment

 

[GhostOfPGA]

I think we should keep Meyers for next season, don’t trade him. We need all the big man depth we can get.

 

[LuckyShot]

Imagine if we had won game 2. holy moly.... we can beat them, there is absolutely good chance for us.

This is still driving me crazy. We absolutely pissed that game away.

 

[RipCityDSCPL]

Run them out of the building in the third so there is no hope of them beating you in the 4th.

 

[H.C.]

Nards is going to have to be far more smart in the second half. Draymond is going to try and force you to make mistakes
