No one player in the league (outside of Harden and maybe Kawhi) shoulders more of a load on offense than Dame.

You know who I really missed last night? Aldridge. I was looking at Dame highlights from 2014 earlier and he had so much space to work with. He's so much better now there's no way teams could sell out on him the same way they do these days if Aldridge was in the pick and roll.

Or Nurk even as a fasting player!!!!
 
For as much as I think Draymond is dirty and doesnt belong on a basketball court, I really think when Klay locks in he’s a great defender. Curry is legit at 3’s but almost as important he’s a very good passer (though turnover prone at times), but its good enough he has the defense always guessing. I actually find GS’s back court fairly like able.

Hope the Blazers at least make this series interesting, will be so disappointing if after all they accomplished this year to get broomed out again.

Thanks man. Win or lose tonight, forums like this make the game more fun. Last game I was anxious as hell even in the fourth till we went up 3 in the last few seconds. That was a great game!

Just want to say, you havent said anything all that provocative and if I said anything offensive to you I apologize. I am so tired of the warriors, but I think it would be nice if you stuck around for more than just the playoff series’ and talked the NBA and basketball with us beyond just your team playing our team.

I watched the Raptors/Bucks game last night. So boring because they move the ball up and down the court so slow.

Yes. When you look at the lineup and Turner is the best, or even 2nd best, playmaker on the floor....yikes!

damn right it's a yikes. It's also an indictment of the GM's office. That vulnerability has been obvious since Batum was traded and it still hasn't been addressed. The idea that Turner could fill that role was always a bad one

I went to a game several years ago and we were playing Houston in the playoffs and down 0-2 in a best of 5 series so it was a must win situation and the crowd was as loud as I had ever heard it. The fans will likely be into it no matter what.

That was more than several years ago lol. That was 1994! We won game 3 (Strickland was great), lost the series.

Man I wish people would quit bringing up that it's been 19 years and the last time was literally a childhood horror story for me...

Even though we lost, we were relevant and playing for something. Coming back from 1-3 to force Game 7 and almost win was more fun than say, missing playoffs in 2006, or 2012, or getting beat in 5 in first round 2015, or getting swept last year. It sucked losing in 1992 Finals but it was awesome to be there, to have an opportunity. As we know from the last 19 years, it’s been much much worse.

I know people who literally will not watch the NBA anymore because of that wcf game they got jobbed in. I actually really feel bad for that fanbase, that has to suck so bad...

Man, ESPN needs some new analysts. Calling for more Turner to compensate for the Double team on Dame.

I don't hate the idea in some regards, I'm not ET fan but having someone else bring the ball up keeps him from being trapped/doubled at midcourt.

Way to completely miss my point.

Yeah and it looked like they’d make playoffs this year and then psyche! No.

I'm really cheering for them at this point. I like their young talent. They seem like good guys off the court too. Obviously not cheering for them more than the Blazers but I like that team and would be nice to see them good again.
