Listening to Zach Lowe on the Lowe Post right now. He thinks we've defended pretty well this series the Warriors are just too good.

The biggest adjustment to Toronto and Milwaukee is that they somehow convinced Lebron to leave the East. Further, the coaching change isn't what helped Toronto - they literally traded their best player for a former MVP.

So, Toronto was involved in a huge trade and a coaching change, the Bucks made a coaching change, and you don't believe any of that had an impact?
 
Sure, it helped, but seeing as how Lebron won the East the previous 8 years, I think that was more significant. Hard to argue otherwise.
 
The Warriors were lucky to win both of their two home games.

The Blazers will play for pride and will win their first home game.

If the Blazers lose the second home game, I will concede that Golden State is just better.

If the Blazers win both, which I expect them to, then it's back to a 3 game series: Advantage Warriors.

I'm sure the networks would love it if we can get it to 2-2.

:cheers:

Luck had nothing to do with it. The Warriors play hard in the dimmest moments. Just when people think that "we got them", they go on runs and take back the lead. It's been that way for 5 years now in playoff and championship games with the exception of their 2nd Finals run against Cleveland. All the others had a defining moment where they bury a late 3 to seal a game or some great defensive play.

Luck always has something to do with it

So to win, Blazers basically have to win 4 games in a row because they are not winning a Game 7 in Oakland.

Bad game plan in Game 1 and meltdown in Game 2. I think they get a split and then it's probably done in 5.

People said we couldn’t win game 7 in Denver. Anything is possible.

Im in meltdown mode, but seriously they gave away that game 2 times. That was their shot at making it a competitive series, they done screwed up and whether they win one at home to make themselves feel good or not when they lose this series in 4 or 5 itll be because game 1 they didnt show up and had no game plan ans game 2 they choked.

Don’t meltdown. Including preseason, reg season, and playoffs, Blazers are 40-10 at home. There’s lots of basketball to play.

Scalma started a thread saying the season is over. Torture said we’re losing in 4.

That doesn't mean theyre quitting in terms of their support. Thinking that another team id going to win doesnt mean you've given up hope. All Scalma said was he thinks it's time to focus on the off-season in regards to the forum. Doesn't mean he's given up hope. Stop saying people "quit" just because they don't necessarily have the same mindset as you.

Well I’ll still be watching, and hoping. I honestly dont “think” the Blazers are winning this series though, they may make it interesting and that’d be cool, and if they find a way to win great!

I felt like game 2 was a huge opportunity to put pressure on GS, but mainly I was just ticked off last night and early this morning, and probably said things I shouldnt have, I’ll own it. I let that loss get to me, way more than I should have.
