Does anyone know what the current Technical count is for the Warriors?

What about for Zach? I think he's at 3, but I'm not sure.

I want to know how close the players are to possibly being suspended
 
One thing Im worried about is Draymond being Draymond and using more dirty tactics to hurt somebody. That is something we cannot afford. I hope he actually wants to play basketball. Play physical, sure, but dont be the dirty ass bitch you've become for awhile now.
 
Draymond is much more likely to go after Kanter's shoulder than Jokic, who did so multiple times until, I'm only guessing here, the league told him to knock it off after the free throw incident. I do know it was night and day different and Jokic completely stopped trying to injure Kanter after that game.

Anyway, back to Draymond Green.

Fuck Draymond Green.
 
If there was ever a riper time to draw the Warriors, it's now. We gotta steal game 1 and I think we can. Win two in Portland, go up 3-1. Durant says enough, and suits up for game 5 still feeling the effects of his injury. It backfires, as he's rusty and not 100% and literally bricks them out of the game and series. Blazers in 5. Durant and Warriors part bitterly, ready to be done with one another. And the playoff ride gets that much sweeter.

It's an interested time for Evan Turner to have played his best game of the post season. He looked aggressive and confident, and I could see that carrying over against the Warriors. I've felt one of our issues against the Warriors was a lack of long perimeter athletes to match theirs and maybe that's where Turner can come up big for us on defense. I think this playoff run is the best stretch of defense this Blazer era team has played. They're legitimately good at defense at the moment. Couple that with the Warriors perimeter shooting finally falling back to earth. Lillard will get easier shots against the Warriors and he and CJ might actually out-produce the Splash Brothers. Ironically, this could be our easiest series yet. Yeah, I'm still high off the game and wearing my rose colored shades!
 
a few years ago weren't we the 3 seed going into the WCF? beating the 2 seed which was Denver? I believe Golden State got beat by the Lakers that year but the Lakers were not in the play offs so Golden state won

I really hope we make it at competitive series. I obviously won't be disappointed in the season no matter the outcome but getti swept or close to that would be a bit of a bummer at the end.

Winning it could be dangerous though, as I might die.
 
This sounds as if I've lost my mind, but I truly think we match up better with GS than we did with Denver. And there are all these compelling subplots... AND the expectations are actually nil.

Dame will be home, Seth playing his brother, Meyers might get to re-injure Boogie if he returns (not condoning this, just sayin), the whole Dame is Steph-lite bs, the history (aren't we 1-8 against GS the last couple playoff meetings?), CJ and Jennifer, etc etc etc.

Moe/Chief are much better equipped for this series, as well. I don't know...I've forever given up on giving up on this team. GO BLAZERS!!!

("Best Mother's Day ever!!!" I shouted to the mother of my kids... It was funny to me at least.)

I said the same earlier yesterday. We matchup better against the KD/Boogie-less Warriors than a fully healthy Nugs team. But they also have a LOT more guard talent. They don't have anyone that can take out Dame-- he has figured Klay out, and for some reason, they have historically been too prideful to throw double teams at him. I have a feeling Dame gets free a lot more in this series.

This assumes that Durant and Cousins are out and I think that's wrong.

Ditto, although I think it would really help our chances if the Curry bros. got confused and switched locker rooms.

You know what though. Seth matches well when playing against the Warriors. I'm betting he has a good series.
We all know when Seth scores well the Blazers are very tough to beat.
 
Click on this link. Some of the gifs are absolutely hilarious.

I really don't like Seth. But I agree that he could be a huge x-factor this series.
