They had some injuries. Chandler is back now. When Gallinari returns, they could compete for the 7th/8th seed. Portland fighting back against GS. Closed it to 5 at halftime after a poor start.

I've been saying this - POR will be better than GSW this year.


GSW's mistake was trading away Jack & Landry who made their team relevant last year. POR had no more reason to tank with their x2 perennial all stars in Aldridge & Lillard.

Portland really wasn't tanking. Their starters were decent, but they had a bench that rivals what Utah has had this year. GS traded away depth for a great 6th man. That's the risk. One of the core players goes down and there's a big drop off. When healthy, I think GS can hold their own against any team in the league. Defensively a bit soft, but those guys just don't miss shots. Klay and Curry are such tremendous shooters!

Well I just think that before they had Lillard POR weren't really interested in contending therefore were content going through the motion and in the last couple of years were able to pick up Lillard & McCollum. Aldridge trade rumours were rife just this Summer in fact.

Now that they're certain Lillard is legit - you have Paul Allen watching games at the stadium and taking making the playoffs a bit more seriously.
 
One thing that sucks about rooting against GS is I love Andrew Bogut (Utes baby!). Sorry Bogut, you know you're my boy, but I NEED à top 4 pick.

Bogut seems to have gotten off very very lightly there...

Bogut throws an elbow, starts a fight, gets one tech and his teammate bench plater Draymond green gets tossed.

Meanwhile the blazers get their starting sg and back-up pg tossed and two other players assessed technicals....can't wait to see this on sports center.
 
LOL.. POR are 31-9 since the fight... leading by 10 pts.... The fight seems to have fired them up!!


Good one Bogut!!
