But but but if Denver was playing they would play way better than Portland.
But but but if OKC was playing they would play way better than Portland.

Good to know! Next time try to actually beat Portland and then maybe your statement might become reality.

DEnver was jus too young and 1st timers

If Denver played GS they'd still be too young. Playing GS wouldn't have magically given Denver age, wisdom or experience

Yea they most likely would’ve of lost too... but they’re a more talented and well rounded team...that’s there advantage over Portland vs golden state...Portland is guard heavy with better experience...than Denver...but Denver have better all around talent....Portland did seem to have the coaching benefit

happy summer, Nurk

Wonder how would Utah do if they are in Portland's bracket...

[Jables]

Steph seriously named his son Canon....

And I went to an Ivy League college where one of my classmates (a white guy from the South) was named Canon. 24 years ago. What’s your point?

Wow, a white guy at your college was called Canon, that's amazing. Really cool.

KD as lil Chris. The internet is glorious.

While rocking the Kyle Lowry 7 cap

The deuce-deuce was not necessary in this series.

Blazers getting swept just shows how incredibly weak the rest of the West was compared to Golden State.

[MintFresh]

Draymond has been amazing. He lost that weight and he's been back to his old self.

I never thought we would see this Draymond ever again

[Percentsign]

Look at the bright side -- Portland vs Milwauke / Toronto is one boring Finals. At least we can root against the evil empire, Golden State.

[Effigy]

I hate the Warriors, but I want them to win this because Portland doesn't deserve this win. Ugly, stupid basketball should not be rewarded with a win.

GS playing with higher IQ than Portland, by far.

Yeah. Very high IQ travel by Curry there.

Better than a 45ft 3pt shot by Lillard. I actually really like the Blazers which is why their stupid offense is killing me. Lillard is so much better when he drives to the basket. He kills my Magic every time he does it.

Really? You'd rather a guy on your team commit a travel and turn the ball over than take a shot? Huh. That is.... well that's an unusual strategy, but ok.

A shot, no matter how bad, could go in. And long shots create long rebounds, so you could get the ball back. A travel is a turnover, period. No positives at all.

We really could have/would have/should have won the last 3...... but we didnt so fair call. I actually didnt watch the game today because i decided it wasnt good for my health after the two 18 point blown leads game 2 and 3.

BleacherReport is relentless

I wanted GS to win but I definitely feel a little bad for Seth. He's in Curry's shadow in every public aspect, even his name. Hopefully he can beat Steph in a video game or something. I know they both get to play in the NBA, but ouch.

Damn, most people outside of GS fans are rooting against the Warriors pretty rare to find fans of other teams that are really pushing for GS.

Lol, it didn't have anything to do with GS in the first 3 years. I just really, really disliked Lebron so I rooted for every team that was going up against him since he moved to Miami. After that they just grew on me b/c they're fun to watch and Steph seems likable.

A travel? That seems like an incredibly petty criticism in the grand scheme of things.

The sweep was big, Now Igoudola and KD get time to rest up. Igoudola and KD should be ready for Game 1 if they are anywhere close to 100%. I be shocked if either guy misses game 1. You get time off in between games during the NBA finals and since this is the last series of the season, They better be playing if they anywhere near 100%.

KD and Iggy get the same amount of rest as if they had lost and GS won either Game 5 or 6

I don't know why teams don't try pressing Green from the backcourt. He's their pg and has been pushing the pace - if team's trap him around half court and rotate, they'll have a better chance at defending. Its actually baffling how opposing coaches haven't solved their offense after so many years, with or without KD.

I get the sentiment, but I think that's a suicidal tactic. Pressing in the backcourt means not falling back on defense, and not falling back on defense against the Warriors is a recipe for disaster. Instead of Draymond pushing the pace to force the action before the defense can set up, you'd have Steph and Klay spotting up for transition threes or passing to Looney and Iguodala for dunks.

HE's also grabbing and going immediately after rebounds, not really much time to do anything about it.

I know but what I"m saying is if Denver's inexperience is what led them to lose to a team that has less talent than th in Portland, imagine how their inexperience fares against a team that actually has better talent than them!

I think their inexperience would look even worse.

[DaVoiceMaster]

lol blazers are pathetic. Worst team ever to make a Conference Finals. Hope to never see this s*** team ever again. McCollum and especially Lillard were absolutely trash down the stretch. Both are undersized combo guards that will never be part of championship winning team. This was a game where GSW had three starters down with Iguadola one of the teams best defenders out and Klay Thompson shot like s**t.

Nurkic isn't coming back to playing professional basketball in the US so time to TEAR it down. If you get lucky McCollum may be able to get you a late 1st round pick and maybe Lillard can get you a 2nd rounder though at this point its doubtful. LOL at the fake rib injury...giving up before the game.

Wow, what a ridiculous (for lack of a more vulgar word) post. Are you still embarrassed by the way your Celtics went out this year? Is Irving going to get you anything? Nope! Dont take your anger out on the Blazers. Look in the mirror.

Eh.. This would be a horrible decision. So you want the ball in Steph's hand in a 4v3? If you thought Green on a 4v3 results in a lot of points, just imagine someone who can pass just like him while being one of the best scorers of all time. If they did this for an entire quarter, I can see the Warriors scoring 45-50 points during that time.
