Game Thread WESTERN FINALS, GAME 2: BLAZERS @ WARRIORS - 5/16/19, THURSDAY, 6PM, ESPN

[KingSpeed]

This is like the Jordan Bulls. They had an extra gear on defense.

 

[LuckyShot]

Wake the fuck up, god damn this team is so fucking prone to just falling asleep any time they get a double digit lead.

 

[VanillaGorilla]

What the fuck was the defense on that sequence?? Literally just leaving guys wide open.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Gee, I've never seen the previews for this movie before!

That's why you don't get complacent with GS. Ever.

 

[wizenheimer]

Blazers completely lost their poise in the face of intense defense. Credit to the Warriors for their intensity

 

[Paine Tablet]

back to back hero ball shots by C.J. and Dame. seriously lame

 

[Cugel]

yeah that's it. why you would expect this lineup to deliver is beyond me. Kanter is handicapped. He cannot play anymore.

 

[Lukee]

Harkless can't finish for shit. fuck sake, Dame and CJ settling for bad shots. not good

 

[BonesJones]

Wake the fuck up, god damn this team is so fucking prone to just falling asleep any time they get a double digit lead.

Its so fucking annoying. I knew this was gin a happen. Its so fucking predictable. This is our fucking chance and after 24 great minutes we throw it away in 4.

 

[DDolla]

Don’t worry guys, we will win this game.

 

[KingSpeed]

Might be the reason got bench with the Knicks.

No Knicks were trying to lose

 

[JDC]

Yeesh. That was quick.

Can't lose trust in the pass.

 

[kingslayer]

Where is Hood?

 

[James lamphear]

This team falls apart with pressure on them. They never have and big problem we got only 2 ball handlers and they getting trap every time down the floor.

 

[BonesJones]

Reverse the pick, side pick n roll, two-guard front

 

[Cugel]

back to back hero ball shots by C.J. and Dame. seriously lame

truly awful offense.

 

[hoopsjock]

How does a team play so good in one half and so dumb in the 2nd half?

 

[KingSpeed]

Its so fucking annoying. I knew this was gin a happen. Its so fucking predictable. This is our fucking chance and after 24 great minutes we throw it away in 4.

Warriors are good team. Big lead gave us margin for error. Time to rebuild lead.

 

[BonesJones]

Where is Hood?

Stotts doghouse. He's been aying too giod and making Stotts look dumb for playing Harkless instead of him, so Stotts has to temper that.

 

[RonBrewer]

back to back hero ball shots by C.J. and Dame. seriously lame

This to a T. Lose composure, start clanking up bad shots, no plan whatsoever.

I'll say this. I wish these fucking refs would let us rape and pillage in our traps like they do the Warriors. GD Ridiculous.

 

[LuckyShot]

Here's an odd thought. Instead if just running Dame into traps by always running a ball screen while the other 3 stand and watch, let's have the guys off the ball move around a little and screen for each other and look to get good shots.

Warriors play better.

EXACTLY.

 

[Wade Garrett]

They no more have lost this game as they had it won at half.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Well in that stretch GS got away with a bunch of defensive fouls, and 3 offensive ones so...

 

[TBpup]

You have to give credit to the Warriors for pushing the ball and creating rotation issues. Wish Portland would do that more often.

 

[BonesJones]

Stottsfense! Here we go!

 

[VenomXL]

Disaster

 

[TBpup]

Wow....that was bad defense. Come on Blazers....step up!

 

[LuckyShot]

This offense is going nowhere
