Sure they were responsible for his pathetic play, Meyers played probably the best game of his career, but hey let's blame him and defend Lillard again again and again for terrible Performance. Just accept the fact that Lillard is not even close on Currys level in the Playoffs, and some other players too

I think he was referring to Harkless/Aminu in this instance...
 
I personally think they all believed they hit their ceiling by getting to the WCF. The way they played shows they are thinking about fishing and vacation more than game 3 and gaining respect around the league
 
we definitely over performed this year, im happy with the improvement - but its a daylight between where we are atm and being able to take that next step.

i know meyers had a decent game, but the 10.5M we're paying him plus 17.8M for Turner is in all honesty costing us that 'extra' player that would likely make that difference.

we've been up against it with nurk and enes being injured, and done remarkably well considering, but we are REALLY missing that third piece - some say nurk is it? maybe, but someone like (even though i hate him) paul george is what we really need to move the needle.

aminu, hood, curry, layman, kanter, are all FA next year.

ET, Harkless, Meyers, are all in their final year and are a $41M in combined salary just in those 3.

obviously some changes are upcoming, it's going to be interesting to see how it all washes out.

Nice thought/dream/fantasy, but no. Not happening. Warriors will end it in game 4 because they want to get to the finals ASAP especially because the Bucks may sweep the Raptors.

They will need all the rest they can get. Bucks are the best team in the NBA. Raptors won't get swept though.

We were propped up by the refs in the first half, to make the inevitable comebacks more dramatic.

We shot the ball well in the first half and played like we weren't scared. Then we knew they would play better in the second half and played soft and scared.

He didn't quit. He is just tired. Its been a long season/postseason. His shots just didnt fall. It is what it is man.

Nah, the dude quit. No excuses for that. His body language says it all. He should be pushing himself to exhaustion to the point where he has to call for a sub. He wasnt doing that today.

Well Meyers trade value went up

It could have been a lot closer if there weren't any missed FT's. But you could tell there was no urgency the last 7 minutes of the game by the Blazers. Gotta play all 48 minutes hard if you want to beat the DUBS. Still need to win one more to move on and after what happened against Cleveland a few years ago, I don't concede anything till it's over.

Our team is intimidated. Congrats on the series.

He played bad. Hes still being keyed in in like a MFer. I know you dint pay attention to defense like that, but if he had competent frowards and a head coach that knew how to run an actual offense, he could easily be the best player on a championship team.

I’m in on; OPERATION BRING 12 HOME

Also leaning towards; OPERATION MONTREZL
 
Just a tough showing. Really not happy with hark and Aminu at this point. They gave the team pretty much nothing. Dame Double and Triple teamed and when he got the ball out the shot was missed all night. Tough to watch Harkless miss a three by 2 feet and Aminu completely go brain dead every time he touches a ball.

Happy for Meyers. He played well tonight and showed he is getting better.
 
I've seen once in our offense today coming out of a screen at the end when Dame missed the shot. Curry get doubled too, but he passes the ball and run across the court finding open shot.
They are better. Stotts is miles away from Kerr, our offense is embarrassing at moments.

BS it’s mental he got broken down. Just like in real life a true innate Alpha always breaks down an inferior Alpha mentally. It’s not physical it’s mental.

The Blazers almost absolute unwillingness to do anything but walk the ball up the court and play against an always set Warrior defense. .. does not seem smart.

Look at their offense and look at ours... its depressing. And its most definitely not because theyre more talented.

All the Dame hate -- go screw yourselves if not for Dame they would not even be here so do not forget that -- i am OUT

Nobody hates Dame but if his game not up to par he needs to be call out for it. He had great series against OKC and then average series against Denver and 2 out 3 games against the warriors been under par performance.

Coaching change has To happen. Its plain to see. Unfortunately we dont have smart people in our front office.

I don't disagree with the premise of a new coach but the new coach won't be able to hide Dame and CJ's lack of height and ball handling skills.
