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

[DDolla]

From 3 points to 9 point lead... wtf

 

[crandc]

Fucking Christ, every time they get close they turn it over. From two to nine in a flash.

 

[Serbian]

How does steph get so open on 3s and lillard gets trapped?!?

 

[BonesJones]

Horrible close to the half.

Fucking awful.

 

[Paine Tablet]

Lillard has been TERRIBLE with the ball. Absolutely idiotic passes.

 

[Natebishop3]

Why was CJ defending that?

 

[VenomXL]

Stop killing yourselves!! You can win this game but not if you beat yourselves.

 

[illmatic99]

Dame is driving straight into double teams

 

[TBpup]

5 Turnovers from Dame.....killing the Blazers.

 

[Paine Tablet]

This was an embarrassment of a performance this half.

 

[kingslayer]

Dame's had 3 or 4 turnovers in the paint with that quick pass and it's an automatic score on the other end.

 

[DDolla]

Damian sucks tonight

Everyone sucks

 

[GhostOfPGA]

Well, Curry got hot. Only down 9, let’s have a great third quarter!

 

[Chris Craig]

Dame has to stop throwing the ball away

 

[Titan]

a bad shot at end of clock would be better than turnovers that lead to GSW 3

 

[hoopsjock]

Dame/CJ/Kanter a combined 10 turnovers in one half. We should be up instead of down 9.

 

[Strenuus]

Whelp, had a chance to keep it at 3.

Horrible end.

I've been up for close to 23 hours.... gonna try to stay up for the 2nd half, we'll see.

 

[LayneStaley]

Great Defense

Wtf

 

[LuckyShot]

They don't even fucking guard Moe and he fucking steps out of bounds. That's the difference between what Steph is working with and what Dame is working with. Dame would be so much better if he couldn't be shadowed by the other team's two best defenders all game.

 

[Darkwebs]

3 of 11.

Was CJ trying to build a (Mc)column of bricks in the first half?

 

[Serbian]

The problem is we are not trapping Steph and klay whatsoever and lillard is always trapped thats coaching. Scotts doesn’t know how to set up traps

 

[Cugel]

dame dribbles too much, gets in trouble and turns it over. it dont work

 

[Wade Garrett]

Still hangin gotta be careful though.
Defense is fine..hit some 3's and stop with the fucking turnovers.

 

[andalusian]

Say what you want about gsw, they are good for a reason and their defense is underappreciated.

 

[PCmor7]

I don't know whether to be moderately happy that we are only down nine after playing so poorly or if I should be upset at all the missed open makeable shots and the collapse in the last minute.

 

[Labinot41]

Curry is coocking lillard tbh

 

[KingSpeed]

Halftime Report: We have 11 more FTs than them and we are out rebounding them. Problem is Jerebko has 7 points and Dame has 5 turnovers.

 

[milona]

Dame seems to lost confidence in his 3 which is a cause for concern. But, to make things worse, he is trying too hard to do other things and it is backfiring so far.

 

[LuckyShot]

How does steph get so open on 3s and lillard gets trapped?!?

They don't have to guard 2 of the guys on the floor with Dame, but we have to guard all the guys playing with Steph.

 

[Natebishop3]

13 turnovers in the first half, and 20 points off those turnovers........ fuck.
