I think Looney gets paid this offseason.

 

[MikelArteta]

until Portland does something about their starting SF & PF situation, they won't take that next step

harkless was the best player today though

This game is boring. I was hoping for a nice competitive game 1 but I should have known better.

This series doesn't really interest me. The Nuggets contrasting style and Jokic would've been more of a challenge for GS.

This is exactly why you are not to be taken seriously when it comes to the game of roundball

GS is 8-1 against Portland in the postseason during the Kerr era, and this is with GS dealing with a number of injuries.
Portland is a diet version of the Warriors, from top to bottom.

Denver has a superior frontcourt (and a player who poses far more problems for GS, in Jokic, than any of Portland's players), better rebounding and defensive personnel, more scoring variety, better playmaking, and essentially pose more of a threat because they can expose more weaknesses than Portland can.

Given that you never know what you're talking about, this gives my stance even more strength.

Another thing too is that Portland plays a brand of basketball that is beneficial to the Warriors finding rhythm, because the games are never grinding, frontcourt-orientated, defensive, stop-start, foul-plagued play - the games are always played at a free-flowing, loose tempo. All the teams that have managed to trouble GS, or at the very least made it hard for them to get into rhythm have been teams who have contrasting styles and/or personnel, not teams who function in the same manner that they do.

@Squirrel The Casual Man you can pick up your L, along with all the other Ls you've yet to pick up, on your way out.

Portland Lost this game due to horrible perimeter defense

 

[G.O.A.T Squad Spokesman]

I think Looney gets paid this offseason.

Yep.

Dray hit a 3, that's game

I think I had Warriors in 5 I can see Portland getting a game at home. This series won't be worth watching at all.
