Dangerous Dame vs. The Guy That Ruined The Game: Blazers vs. Warriors Official (2019 WCF) Thread

They should stop bullshytting and just let everyone know he wont be playing for a while. Stop with the game-by-game updates.

I had the same injury and I mentioned it when he first got hurt. Granted I'm not an elite athlete with access to the best medical and I'm a lot older then he is, but I'd be surprised if he made it back before the finals. The first week or two is just compression and resting the calf. It took me close to 8 weeks to be able to play basketball again and even then it felt like it was going to tear again.

If the blazers come out with the mindset of we gotta take a game from them right now they might be able to steal one in GS. Everybody needs to play with a sense of urgency before KD is back

I'm thinking Warriors in 5 because Portland needs the others besides Dame and CJ to really step up.

Portland needs to win one of the first 2 games at the Oracle and protect home court for me to believe.

Wanna see Seth guard Steph some too.

The way everything seems Durant probably won’t even play this series. Trailblazers need to play like their lives depend on it

I think yall are underestimating the blazers big team.

I can tell.

shyt will be way closer than yall think.

Warriors dont have the rim protection to stop dame.

Cousins aint stopping dame from driving to the point.

Will Dame show up? Him and CJ gotta match curry j klay. I’m kinda iffy on klay as well maybe he’ll be back since KD out

Warriors don’t have rim protection? Word?

If KD comes back, I want GSW to lose.

 

[John Reena]

Warriors in 5.

Portland is a slightly more talented version of da Rockets.

 

[ryderldb]

If Portland plays like they did against Denver they’re losing the series.

 

[Berry]

Very grateful the warriors have made the conference the finals another year and we are finally meeting the Blazers outside the 1st round.

CJ and Dame always decide to ball out against us so we definitely can’t sleep on them, gotta stay hungry. I think the warriors can hold it down these first two home game and I’m hoping Looney keeps this momentum I love seeing him play well.

 

[lamont614]

Hopefully kd and boogie dont play make this feel like 2015 and 2016 again. If they play its a sweep if not Portland can get it 2 a game 5 and possibly game 6

 

[UberEatsDriver]

I think Blazers would have a chance if they could run Nurk and a healthy Kanter for an entire game, but I dont see anything from that Nugs series that inspires me to think they'll hold GS


"I just did your fukkin podcast"

So them winning in Denver despite not playing good and keeping that team to under 100 wasn’t good?

 

[UberEatsDriver]

No KD anytime soon

You sure cause they are saying he might be here for game 2

I mean Dame was uninspiring several games in that series. If you look from a series perspective, their overall team grade mightve actually rose from the first round with someone other than Dame, Penes, and sometimes CJ showing up...in the form of an additional person, in Seth. So if their ceiling is having one worthwhile bench scorer, a hurt big who’s gonna be food against an offense that has more moving parts than any, ever, when KD is out, and Dame and CJ...they just would’ve had to do more to make me believe their team can handle the train coming at them. Holding Denver under 100 is impressive in a game 7, but the Spurs defended them better than the Blazers with context that’s not really an impressive feat. Their defense isn’t great and their offense isn’t diverse enough
