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

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.

Naw, need a better plan than that! There is an uncover man when they go there. They must pay the price. This shit has been going on for years in the playoff,
Stotts has yet to come up with a skeem to extract payment.

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.

I agree. A Kings/Warriors first round would’ve been hella fun.

Well if you look at what GS does when teams are being really aggressive with Steph is usually Draymond or Iggy bring the ball up (or KD when he's healthy), but those guys are reliable enough ball handlers and passers. The Blazer forwards both Aminu and Harkless act scared to touch the ball and aren't very good passers. CJ is like the only other option when teams are playing Dame tight. I kind of want to see them have Hood be the guy who comes down and gets the team in their offense.

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...

I started watching the nba in 2009, was the officiating really that bad in that game? I heard it many times the refs won that game for the Lakers and the kings were criminaly robbed

Id like to see Hood bring it up and let the offense go through him.

In my opinion that game was rigged those refs were not going to let Sacremento win that game. For all the complaining and as hot as I was after game 2 of this series, that Sac/Lakers game was legit the worst game I have ever seen...

It was more Game 6 that the refs jobbed them. There are YouTube videos that break it down. That said, most of the Kings were scaredy-cats that series and no one would shoot but Bibby. Chris Webber wanted no part of the ball when it was passed to him and Lakers played well in Game 7. Shaq was clutch at line iirc.

On ESPN they're showing CJ getting a manicure before games he plays.

LOL the ESPN talking heads acting like the Warriors have already won the Championship, completely straight faced. No chance to the Blazers, no chance for the Bucks/Raptors.

Wonders why we even watch.

Trey Kirby of The Starters says zero percent chance we win both, 10% chance we win 1. Then again, he picked the Thunder in 5.
