I hope Hood is healthy for game 1 or right after. Iggy hyperextended his knee and was back the next game. He is playing with so much confidence our bench would look so much better.

We are gonna need him and Curry. GS is going to pull a pelicans doubling Dame and CJ. This is why we reloaded in the off-season with shooters. So we can make Green pay for floating and sagging on D.

Collins needs to learn how important he is. He had a dumb 4th frustration foul this game. He can't do that we need him to continue to go HAM off the bench.

Aminu and Harkless can redeem the terrible series vs Denver with a team they matchup a bit better against.

All signs seem to point to Rodney being ok. Still will have to see what tomorrow brings.

Any actual updates on Durant since they said he was out the rest of the Houston series?

Seth talking about the text he got from Steph after the game.

Jazz fan popping by to say good luck. Hope you guys can pull it off.

Blazers run through the playoffs has been pretty epic.

He's getting up there man. The one knock for him was always the playoff successes, but that is quickly falling into a thing of the past.

Love that video tho. That's legit one of the most legit happy moments I've seen from Lillard.

Dame was nuclear in the OKC series. But a good thing about this series, and the playoffs as a whole, has been that Dame has seen CJ and Hood and Kanter be MVP's of individual games, and guys like Curry and Turner actually help winning crucial quarters and showing poise, enough so that Dame didn't have to do it all and try and carry the team, sometimes forcing too much. I can't see how that's a bad thing

Obviously, I hope Hood is ok and want him back asap because he is very much needed, but if there is once bench player I feel breaks out this series its gotta be Seth. You just know he want to show big brother up. We will need him and Collins and Hood if he can play. There starters have the decisive advantage but if we could get some major bench help for our starters, we could make it interesting.

I was one of only a handful of Knicks forum members who saw that Kanter could be part of a winning team and want to congratulate the Trailblazers (and Enes) for beating Denver and moving on to the WCF.

Still in a bit of disbelief that this is happening. And quickly, too! Game 1 is on Tuesday. Games every other day, so no 2-day breaks.

They said he would be re-evaluated in a week which would be Thursday. Sounds like he will certainly miss game 1 and probably game 2. An article quoted a surgeon saying ~2 week best case recovery putting it around a game 4 or game 5 return. With Durant going into free agency this summer I would imagine he wont rush him back and risk further injury unless the Blazers somehow really threaten the Warriors.

GreenRiddler · Post #20 » by **GreenRiddler** » Mon May 13, 2019 7:17 pm

I like our chances vs a warriors team without Durant. I hink it'll be a competitive series if he misses 1 or 2 games to start.

Lillard and McCollum are just as good as Steph and Klay.
