Game Thread WESTERN FINALS, GAME 2: BLAZERS @ WARRIORS - 5/16/19, THURSDAY, 6PM, ESPN (1 Viewer)

[BlazerBeav]

I am never going to get over being up 6 and losing a possession because Kanter was standing up on the bench in his damn jersey. What a colassal fuck up.

 

[TBpup]

I getting to think he might have to with Zach and Leonard in the middle. Yes Kanter grab few rebounds but his defense been non existent this series.

So the two guys who can't eat or drink aren't playing well. #Science

 

[EGame]

Aminu just has to go. Can't win a champiosnhip with him as a starting PF unless you have a super team which we do not.

I always said I was happy with this team no matter what and nothing will change that. These group of guys have accomplished so much and made me proud. Even without KD these guys are still good. Fully healthy I think we could have stolen at least tonight and maybe even gotten game 1. But injuries and Aminu being a liability has killed us.

 

[BonesJones]

Denver and GS found out how to defend Lillard.

He hasn't had a decent game since game 5 against OKC.

He was good tonight.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

This is literally me right now...

At this point, I let them both walk and bring back Hood with the Full MLE.

Try and acquire good role players that can shoot and defend and make plays/pass a little bit (guys like Olynyk and Prince).

 

[hoopsjock]

Well I just broke about 20 things, luckily in my rage I managed to not break anything important.

 

[Dubsfan]

Your team didn't get a foul called on them in the last seven minutes. You got help

They got called. They were just all on the floor.

 

[Rhal]

It blows my mind if this team needs extra motivation in the WCF

It might seem crazy to normal people but athletes talk about extra motivation from things all the time.

That one right there was crazy. You could see Turner and Curry talking about it after the fact.

 

[Labinot41]

I know it Sounds crazy, but we should give Dray a Max contract in 2020. He as a playmaker and defender with Dame and CJ would be huuuuge

 

[Rhal]

They got called. They were just all on the floor.

Actually they didn’t. The last foul call on the warrriors was on Green with 7:48 left in the game. No other fouls were called, shooting or in the floor, for the warriors.

 

[Rhal]

I don’t want to do that. He makes me think of Boris Diaw so much and he had to drop 25 pounds before the playoffs to be able to play like this.

 

[TBpup]

The troll is also clueless.

I don't want that piece of shit on my team

 

[Labinot41]

He would make us a 60 win team, he could be Dpoy, he would make all the right plays in the Playoffs when Lillard get's doubled Teamed. Of course you want him on your team

 

[H.C.]

I'm livid at Stotts after this game.
You think he would've learned that Portland gets killed on the glass when they go small.
It happened against Denver.
It happened tonight in the 3rd quarter when Moe/Harkless were playing the 4/5.

Yet soon as he sticks Nards in the game that's cleaned up.
Fucking shocking.

It's not hard to figure out. Offensive rebounds kill Portland.

No I don't. Fuck Green

Stotts would simply use him as a PnR big.

FIFY

I'm not mad at him for that. We werent smaller than GS. It's on the players there to do their jobs and rebound.

 

[BlazerBeav]

CJ had 3 good looks late, and I think we win with any of them dropping. Can't believe that happened.

We have a playmaking big who plays great defense. Unfortunately his leg snapped in half.

 

[BoomChakaLaka]

The refs fouled him out in like 8 minutes.

Zero Points
Zero Rebounds

not a good game for Collins. Leonard was a good substitution however he was a matador on defense

 

[LuckyShot]

Actually they didn’t. The last foul call on the warrriors was on Green with 7:48 left in the game. No other fouls were called, shooting or in the floor, for the warriors.

That is fucking ridiculous. They were fouling every other possession.

 

[TBpup]

They are used to it much more then we are. Not really putting them in a position they are comfortable to succeed. Yes they need to rebound, but how many times did Harkless or Turner play center this season?

 

[crandc]

Up to the very end I was sure they would pull it out.

Look, we are all bleeding. But don't forget. 26 coaches and GMs are watching conference finals on TV. So it's really hard for me to think Blazers have worst coach and GM in the history of sports.

Youre right, they dont have the worst coach or GM.

 

[kjironman1]

CJ had 3 good looks late, and I think we win with any of them dropping. Can't believe that happened.

He makes two of them and they are assured the win. One of them was a wide open three. That was a good look and a solid stroke on the shot. Just didn't go. Then that elbow jumper was a very good look. He makes that shot 9 out of 10 times game after game. That was a good look also. I have no problem with CJ taking those shots. He has been very good all playoffs.
Now go win game 3!

 

[Natebishop3]

That foul call on Dame with Curry shooting three free throws was total bullshit. Curry kicked his leg out and basically kicked Dame and then dropped.
