Game Thread WESTERN CONFERENCE FINALS, GAME 1: BLAZERS @ WARRIORS - 5/14/19, TUESDAY, 6:00 PM, ESPN

[TBpup]

Just gotta steal one game in Oakland.

It had to be Game 1 to have any chance. They are NOT winning a Game 7 in Oakland like they did in Denver. So to win the series they now have to win 4 of the next 5 games. Sadly, not happening.

Well for those of you who wanted Layman, here you go.

Garbage time means nothing. He proved all season in regular rotation minutes he was one of the most efficiently effective shooters on the team.

 

[dviss1]

Terry.

Fucking.

Stotts....

 

[Dubsfan]

GSW held the Blazers to 36% shooting and 25% on 3's. We should have won by more with all the turnovers, but we kept the Blazers in with all the fouls committed. Onto Tuesday! Go DUBS!!

 

[Sedatedfork]

Well that sucks

 

[Wade Garrett]

Even Marc Jackson says Jake can make an impact in this series. Why can't our coach?

But everyone in here hates Mark Jackson. I read that at least five times tonight!

And they had such a good opportunity at the start. Golden State was playing like shit (yet shooting well... go figure). We could have built a lead.

 

[BlayZa]

We'll win in 5.

sooooooo, not a sweep?

 

[Cugel]

Looks more l

He does suck though.. how is that douche? Seth deserves preferential treatment because his brother played well? What??

it's about throwing the guy ie seth a fucking bone. all thse media is covering the family. does Terry have to rub it in that seth is not steph? there was no reason to play him. Terry is clueless when it comes to self awareness

 

[oldmangrouch]

Yeah it’s the coaching! Curry and Klay never play like this against anyone else! We make them look like HOF and annual all stars. What a disgrace

You are partially correct. They seldom play like this against other teams because other teams make them work for their big nights. Giving them one wide open shot after another is inexcusable. Even the biggest Stotts apologist should be able to see that!

 

[GhostOfPGA]

I’m not even that discouraged right now, I dont expect us to win the series but I see we are able of winning a couple games, and off chance of a surprise.

We literally could not have had a shittier game plan or executed it any worse.

 

[BlayZa]

hold that thought, gm2 is in a couple of days.

lets see if we E volve or D volve.

stotts to the rescueeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee le sigh

 

[Natebishop3]

I'm just sooooo tired of iso hero ball.

Golden State doesn't do that shit.

Why can't we run people off screens and move the ball? Why can't we spread the floor and punish them when they try to trap?

 

[B-Roy]

The Warriors sell out to take Dame out of the game and we come out with the same fucking game plan we do against every other team.

Stotts has got to be one of the most inflexible coaches in the league. It's like he thinks the players are too dumb to adjust to a different game plan.

Quite frankly I would be insulted as a player.

 

[Natebishop3]

held the Blazers to 36% shooting and 25% on 3's

"held" he says.... lol

 

[Titan]

The Blazers must like broomsticks. if they keep playing like this they about to get swept.

It didn't have to be Game 1 and yes, we can win a game 7 in Oakland. Have the Warriors ever won a Game 7 at home? I don't think so.

 

[James lamphear]

As much Cj been good in the playoffs he always will trouble with the warriors. Reason he can't guard Thompson due to the height. I give him credit he try but the height is to much to overcome.

 

[KingSpeed]

Be Happy. Enjoy the Moment.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

youd think this was obvious

I hope someone has the guts to ask him in the press conference WTH he was doing.

 

[H.C.]

 

[oldmangrouch]

We literally could not have had a shittier game plan or executed it any worse.

But...but...but....Stotts is one of the all-time greats!

 

[VanillaGorilla]

I literally don't care about that at all, and neither should Terry or anyone else.

 

[Dougnsalem]

And unless he is hurt, largely justified. He isn't just playing poorly, he is playing dumb. WTF is with him?

WTF is with your dumb posts??? GTFOH. Dame got us this far....

 

[riverman]

It's not like we're the first team the Warriors have beaten on their homecourt in the WCF if I'm not mistaken....we have another shot to steal one...Blazers won't roll over after one loss this round I promise.

Why can't we run people off screens and move the ball? Why can't we spread the floor and punish them when they try to trap?

Because we aren’t as talented as they are, and we don’t have the shooters they do, and we haven’t won 3 of the last 4 finals. People are expecting too much, the fact we are even in this position is tremendous... no Nurkic? Kanter/Hood banged up? Damian getting trapped... this is an experience booster for our team. They will keep fighting and we should get out of our slump eventually.

 

[RipCityDSCPL]

But everyone in here hates Mark Jackson. I read that at least five times tonight!

Which should tell you all you need to know.

Where is the 'I hate Terry Stotts' thread? I've gotta vent. @BonesJones you warming it up already?

 

[KingSpeed]

It's not like we're the first team the Warriors have beaten on their homecourt in the WCF if I'm not mistaken....we have another shot to steal one...Blazers won't roll over after one loss this round I promise.

Exactly.

 

[TBpup]

It didn't have to be Game 1 and yes, we can win a game 7 in Oakland. Have the Warriors ever won a Game 7 at home? I don't think so.

Then here is your chance to make some easy money. $100 says the Blazers do not win a Game 7 this year in Oakland.

 

[HailBlazers]

Agree with Doris and Legs, no urgency or energy, too many turnovers, weak perimeter defense.
