Western Conference Semi-Finals Thread: Blazers vs Warriors

[cpower]

Aminu>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Barnes

Aminu - 4/32

Barnes - 4/80 or 5/100

Aminu- nobody
Barnes - the golden boy from world champon

[510TWSS]

This lineup to start the 4th blows. Can't hit a thing, when you get fouled blow the FT's. Barnes where are you? Have some pride getting the bizzness from Aminu. Defense on the perimeter has been deplorable all night.

[Impuniti]

Aminu averages 10p/games during regular season, 13p/game during PO, 18p/game in this series, 23p with 8 mins left in this game.

Dat max contract Barnes D tho

[BaggageHandler]

Rest Curry, rest Curry..

STFU!!!!!!!

I could easily see this being 2-2 going back to Oakland. Play Steph ASAP. No later than game 5.

[East Bay Sports]

Barnes looks like the worst player in the league tonight. Don't think he is in it mentally. Pathetic. bench his ass

[cpower]

ok now we have the last breath for g3. they will feed Lillard and Green needs to help out. the next 3 mins will be intense.

2 huge plays by Barnes

[Sleepy51]

Barnes continues to find new and interesting ways to lose shooters. Sooner or later people are going to realize that he is not really defensively "versatile." He can guard bigger players in the pos isolation. But that's the only thing he does well on D. He is not a competent perimeter defender and can not guard wings. He's not defensivley versatile he's defensively peculiar in that he's a small guy to be a good post up defender, but that is not versatility. He is and has always been a smallish stretch 4. Right now he's just a 4 cuz he can't hit the shots that stretch the d.

[Sleepy51]

Pull the goalie

[DreDay]

Gotta give credit to Klay, he's been pretty good. Him and Draymond showed up but the D didn't after the first and neither did anyone else.

basically ryan anderson with more hop and less touch.

[BaggageHandler]

They're about to be 24-4 at home since Jan 10. Whoever thought that we're gonna swept them without Steph is crazy lol

[old rem]

Well.. that does it. Curry returns and we're okay.

[cpower]

ok its over. dude was too hot and he will just score on everything

[old rem]

Klay and Dray did great. Iggy and Barnes? Not much, Aminu outplayed them.

[510TWSS]

Gg Portland. We gave them too much confidence. Hitting tougher shots now. Before they were wide open. Heh. Nice to see Dray with 8 threes.

[BaggageHandler]

Career high for Draymond?

[Impuniti]

Why doesn't Kerr trap him? The Clippers until they got crippled neutralized him completely and Kerr is just letting him play.

You really think Barnes is the reason they're going to lose this game?

They're unconscious from 3 and most of it is being scored by Lillard, who is not being guarded by Barnes.

Cheap shot to single him out.

Kerr doesnt believe small ball can beat us. that portland small ball team is better than our small ball team without Curry
