Yeah, they’re not great but holding their own tonight, and against either Western team we won’t have a clear depth/energy advantage unless their series goes 7 and we’re resting for awhile.

Warriors depth is garbo if they don't have Durant. They have a bunch of useful guys but they'll need Iggy to be third scorer and there's nobody at 4th. It's like the current Raptors, there's going to be 2 guys on court nearly always that we don't really have to guard. Can't have that and expect to keep up with us when we have an army of guys behind Giannis that can score 15 points.

I thought that earlier in the Playoffs but they’re getting some good contributions tonight from unlikely sources. I think we’re to the point with Kerr’s system of a plug and play ability similar to Bud’s.

Still think there's only 4 guys out there that would get minutes for us.

Different system is a factor, some great midrange shooters who do better in their system but like Middleton would be out of their element on our analytics driven team.

Western Conference is so overrated.

Everytime I actually watch this series, portland looks like complete garbage. All of game 1, end of game 2, end of 3rd til now game 3, just horrible.

Sweep through both of these series so Durant isn’t healed would be great

Think finals date is the same no matter the length of the series, we do want this to go far

Chuck Diesel · Post #1951 » by **Chuck Diesel** » Sun May 19, 2019 3:24 am

I’d be shocked if Durant isn’t back for game one of the Finals

True. Forgot about that. May 30, right? Would be weird if both of these are wrapped up by May 22 with 8 days off.

Don't really know where Portland goes from here. They're good enough where it's a tough sell to the fan base to break it up and start over but it's pretty clear that Lillard and McCollum aren't good enough and I'm not sure Nurkic is going to make enough of a difference to change that.
