That 3 man backcourt of Lillard, CJ and Crabbe is nice going forward. Crabbe has really established himself.

[dirk digler]

That is a BS call on Klay.

[OldSchool]

Lilliard aint like Curry, he's more like Harden.

Nah, Lillard got him.

[KC_Connection]

That wasn't out of bounds? Wow.

[dirk digler]

Props to Portland they fought every game and I love their back court.

[RobBlake]

Lillard was clutch and aggressive.. but watchout for Westbrook.

[KC_Connection]

No Charles, they're still going fishing.

They've seen Westbrook plenty this year and he didn't really do shit and was one of the main reasons why they lost every game to the Warriors in the regular season.

playoffs is a whole different beast. Just like how spurs had the best home court throughtout season and didn't really matter this series. Curry can't guard Westbrook.. and I like westbrooks aggressiveness vs curry and his ability to get boards.

KC Connection pissed

GSW vs. OKC or SA should be epic. And the way the Cavs are playing, the Finals will be awesome also.

If I remember correctly, he tried to take over the game repeatedly and failed. He's bound to have one or two really good ones over the course of a 7 game series, though.

Yeah, both him and Durant had some very poor possessions late in the 4th and OT that let the Warriors pull away.

You're assuming that it's going to be Curry on Westbrook all of the time. He'll guard him when he has to but most of the time it'll be Klay on him.

The real problem is that they don't really have anyone who can match Durant's length. Durant always goes for at least 30 against the Warriors because there's no one who can bother his shot on the Warriors.

I kind of wish that the Blazers series could have continued longer so Curry has more games to knock off the rust. Warriors are gonna need him to put up monster games to beat the Thunder comfortably.
