Dangerous Dame vs. The Guy That Ruined The Game: Blazers vs. Warriors Official (2019 WCF) Thread

[BigMoneyGrip]

Cannon Curry at the game? :Holdonfam:

 

[Gold]

The fact that this team has just SWEPT the WCF and you remember that the guy many say is the best in the league is not even playing just sounds dumb.

Fools gold Western Conference. These blazers wouldn’t have made it out the first round in the East let alone make it to the Conference Finals.

Amen. But that didnt stop pundits from saying that cj+dame was on par with klay and steph.

Even if you take away ppg, what is one thing that cj and dame do better than klay and stepth?

Pass? No
Rebound? No
Defend? No
Run the floor? No

I guess they commit less fouls??

Terry Stotts looking like he about to be executed after the press conference

This is Steph's chance for that FMVP

You don't think Draymond Green isn't going get that FMVP?

 

[BigMoneyGrip]

Warriors get to rest up while the raptors possibly drag the bucks to 6 and wear them down. This could be interesting.

That Bucks/Raps series going 7

na, if anything, they're making what he did in 2016 look even greater when you factor in that they had to recruit Durant to save them when they would have beat any team outside of the cavs w/o him.

You do gotta salute Bron for being the only guy to beat this team, he's in my top all time list


Its crazy when you think back

 

[Stinky Diver]

This.. I was late on Steph but goddamn that boy good....ppl legit tried to make him a one-trick pony....but dude is an all-time great

His work ethic is all time great shyt. It's why I can't root against him, even with all the gyrating when he makes a shot.

Its also crazy how the league hasn't figured this team out

they play different w/o KD. teams trained this year to counter them with KD

 

[Methodical]

Ehh..when Tim Hardaway start dikk riding the Dubs...expect that for the Heat

Yup. They returned to their free flowing offense that nobody in the league except the 2016 Cavs were able to deal with. Caught them off guard, considering I’m sure all these teams including the blazers were thinking ahead and game planning on KD in the ISO.

 

[Cadillac]

The Warriors are legit better than 99% of the league without Durant.

Curry is so damn good that it’s terrifying. Dude is legit sacrificing all his numbers to accommodate for KD’s individual greatness.

Steph led the team in scoring tho.

I do think his assist numbers go down due to a good share of usage is in Durant with him making up assist that would go to Curry.

Preventing Curry from doing 7-9 APG that we know he can do

But the Blazers should be used to playing them without KD, they played them multiple times even in the playoffs pre-KD
