Reggie always preaching the one game thing, but eventually trends begin to show. These game results may not be outliers, things will add up. That may not apply to this game, but just some food for thought.

Not a chance in hell. Kerr will probably sit Curry out as a precaution.

Don't forget that the Blazers still don't have Harkless, one of the top 6 or so players on the team.
At least the Blazers won a little respect back from me in the 4th quarter. Reffing had nothing to do with that quarter. It was simply the Blazers killing them on offensive glass, hitting more shots and Clippers making a ton of errors.

I will also say that the Clips have a really solid foundation. The team plays hard and has a lot of players who fit the modern NBA. They're a solid team that will probably have a lot of upset games this year where they beat teams that people think they shouldn't, assuming they stay healthy.

I'm just hoping that Seth Curry can find that rhythm he had in Dallas, and Harkless comes back soon. Blazers have some room to grow still.

They say he'll be back by December. He'll have pretty much half a season.

According to your logic, Tim Duncan doesn't deserve any respect.

Even 60% Boogie adds a new dimension to this Warriors team assuming he maintains his stroke. The ability to go big without a guy like McGee or Zaza and still have the option to play 5 out. Just his presence likely makes the team better and if he's a liability? Well then just waive him and you still have a team that had one major scare in the past two years and cruised to consecutive titles for the most part. Zero risk, extremely high potential reward with the whole Boogie deal.

Maybe, not if he looks like Brook Lopez on defense though. The problem with 60% boogie is what he does to the defense if he can't move well. People are just going to 1-5 pick and roll him into unplayability.

Sorry for being a poor sport earlier. I'll be first to admit I get super pissed during games and petty. Most probably know that around here. Grats on the win man, tough team to beat at home for sure. Yea Clips are a solid team that just lacks a star to close games. You saw how big that was tonight with CJ hitting a few backbreaking shots late game.

What did you think about the rook SGA? I wanted to see him defend Dame more 1 on 1, but he got murdered on screens all night, so very little chance.

Also WTF was with Doc putting SF's on Portland's centers entire second half? It led to Portland manhandling them on offensive glass, getting a handful of putbacks and just pushing them around for post scores. Doc is tough. He will coach great much of game, then do something inexplicably dumb such as this. Also why not try Ty Wallace? Milos clearly couldn't handle Portland's guards today. Team needed more defense.
