Just put in the closers and get this game over with.
 
we just suck tonight, but this group of five cant play together when we are playing a good team
 
Turned it off. GS is the better team, fams. There's no shame in losing to one of the greatest teams of all time.
 
With the amount of attention DAme is drawing its so annoying that we can't capitalize on it and get a good shot. Half the time Dame gets the ball has two players on us and we don't have a plan of where a player needs to move to get open when it happens.
 
It seems like there toying with us we get within 9 and all suddenly there back up double figures.

Did Stotts design this defense for an entire team of Russell Westbrook type players? This was an opportunity and I'm not sure you could design a more poor defensive strategy than to let the 2 best shooters have wide open looks the entire game....BY DESIGN.

That, and in 4 years, the Blazers still don't know how to attack a trap. SMH :beatinto:

I had no illusions Portland would win this series but there was a huge opportunity here and the game plan just wasn't up to par. Durant isn't out there and they aren't making players like Green, Looney, Iggy win the game. Very poor.

Fuckin hell, Dame sees those traps constantly. Baffling why we wouldn't implement a similar defense

And I'm surprised by exactly none of it.
 
so far, Harkless has been the best Blazer player in this game....that's kind of sad

and CC...sorry, but the Warriors DO play good defense
 
I've never seen Dame so scared in my life. He has no idea, no plan, doesn't want the ball, wont' take the shot. Hope he snaps out of it
 
Cool, 4 minutes to go int he game and we still think the way to get a stop is to give up a wide open 3 to Curry?
 
How many years have we seen the trap? Still haven't figure it out. Haven't figured out how to help Dame.

How many years have we played against Steph Curry and Klay Thompson? Still haven't figured out how to defend the screen.

How many times do we need to start the game with Aminu and get in a hole before Terry figures it out?

Dame and CJ played like ass in this game. Our team couldn't hit the broad side of a barn and we were in the game for a long time. This team is very beatable, but not if we're going to turn the ball over and miss wide open shots.
 
This is like the Spurs series a few years ago. Portland gets good, then gets fucking smacked down by a true elite team
