I would like to see the Cavs win the 'ship this year. It would be nice for the city of Cleveland. I mean, those people really have nothing.

Magic was not a good defender either and would often get hidden on the opponents' least threatening perimeter player. I don't think Curry belongs in the conversation either. People just have air time to fill and like to talk. I do believe that if he puts together a few more seasons of this type of production he should be considered a top 20 player of all time.

Yeah, I'm fine with that.

It probably doesn't help that I'm around 18 year olds everyday who think that Curry is the greatest player ever and that Drake is the best rapper ever.

I can't help you there.

Everyone is going to be more biased to the era they great up with. You see it all the time with former players talking smack about the current game. Curry is doing things that no one else has ever done before. Regardless of the era, he is on a mostly unprecedented 2-3 year run.

Blazers outplayed the Warriors for the majority of those last 4 games. Can't believe they only came away with 1 win. Proves how fucking great the Warriors really are. Also how the Blazers could be scary down the road with some experience under their belt. They couldn't withstand the pressure this year.

Hats off to the Blazers for sure. I hope they can snag a key free agent or two. I don't see them cracking the top tier of the West without getting another go-to guy. They are a fun team to watch and cheer for.

There's definitely a strong "always a Bridesmaid" "never get over the final hill" bent to being a long-time Blazer fan, but it is a really fun team to be close to. Even in the doomed Brandon Roy era it was a blast. This team is already better than those teams were though. I hope we can get some more upper-tier players to come here, but please for the love of god let it not be Dwight Howard!

Players really love and respect Lillard. That will go quite a ways in attracting good players. The West will be much tougher next year. It wouldn't surprise me if the Blazers are better but are a lower seed or don't even make the playoffs. Stay the course.

Affectionately known here as "The Vanilla Gorilla"


To walk back my previous statement about the fun of being a Blazer fan, Darius Miles.

And Qyntel Woods the dog-fighting kingpin.

And Bonzi Wells who literally flipped off the home crowd.

There's actually a documentary being made about the Jail Blazers era.

Bonzi Wells!

I haven't heard that name in ages.

I think Kawhi goes off tonight and reminds everybody that he is the heir to LeBron as the best player in the game.

I want Kawhi to make a game winner and smile.

I'm rooting for the Thunder but I'm glad to see Duncan off to a good start.

Man all this flopping by the Spurs is really off putting.

Wow, didn't expect the Spurs to go out like that.


Genuinely excited for the WCF.

This WCF is not what I was expecting but it may be more entertaining. Looking forward to it.

Before the last round I would have predicted that Thunder-Warriors would be 4-0 or 4-1, but now I think the Thunder could put a scare into GS. If they can stay big and dominate the boards you never know.

Warriors in 6.
