Little brother Seth Curry showing the Warriors faithful whats up!

McCollum's offense down the stretch not getting it done.  How is the ball not in Lillard's hands at this point of the game?

He's getting trapped every time he touches the ball.

That's fine.  Don't set a screen.  If the double comes anyway, Lillard is more than capable of making a pass to the middle of the floor.  It gets the defense shifting.  A lot better than what McCollum has been able to accomplish in the 4th.  Also beats an Evan Turner failed lob pass to Leonard (great idea, bad execution).

Close but no cigar. Good job, good effort.

Welp, that’s how you blow a playoff game, Blazers lol

Portland managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory

I live about 20 miles away from Oracle Arena.  I must be one of just a few people in the entire Bay Area who is disgusted with the 4th quarter and the outcome of the game.

Oh well, not like Portland had a legitimate chance to win the series anyway.  Still would love to see them pull off at least two wins in the series.

[SparzWizard]

Yup they're getting swept.

Didn't anticipate the Warriors going 6 games with the Clippers. The Warriors had it tough this year. In previous years they steamrolled their way to the NBA Finals unscathed lol.

Looks like Durant's injury is worse than originally appeared and will be out for games 3 and 4

Safe to say the Dubs can handle Portland without him, but will they be able to beat Milwaukee or Toronto in the finals if Durant isn't back?

And, does this have any effect on Durant's free agency if he isn't able to return this postseason?

[gpap]

Gasol so much better than Baynes

Celts could have traded for him

He's like if Baynes had guard skills on offence and stayed out of foul trouble

Baynes just suffered another injury as I type this post.

I've been hoping that the Warriors go unbeaten without Durant, but then have him come back for the finals and they lose to the Bucks.  That would be absolutely fabulous.

Hoping GSW wins it all without Durant too.

Rooting for the three-peat either way at this point.

[footey]

Well, if the Bucks sweep the Raptors and the Warriors,

our season won't seem as disastrous.

Right?

Lowry looks like Paul Pierce's little brother, LOL.
