RECAP #82: Golden State Warriors 122, Portland Trailblazers 116- Golden State of Heart

I’m not sure what is worse Blazer fan or Blazer annoucners.

First off Nellie for getting this record if his. I respect what this guy has done so much in his career and seeing him stand up for Hunter like that was amazing, if we did a few game plan changes (using players certain ways) having him back might be okay

Than Chris Hunter, our first D league call up this year and I remember being at his first game giving him a standing ovation after shutting down Oden. The guy went through bad knee pains and after he got settled in really played well. His game against Atlanta was also great and he’ll remember that and his forst game forever

Anthony Tolliver, he’s been in the NBA for little stints and never got time. Well look what happens when you give him time. He gave us double doubles when no one else would and turned it on offensively when needed. He will be in the NBA a while

Reggie Williams, called up late and became an over night sensation. I’m happy that we already have him locked up. They guy is great and is maybe the best D league call up since Buike

I’m going to get heat for this but bare with me, Monta Ellis. I say this cause during and after the Stephen Jackson issue he could have just shut it down and say screw this I want out. Instead he tried to convince Jack to stay, worked hard on improving his game over night and came out this year and was one of the highest scorers in the NBA. Shold have been an ll star in my opinion. He’s never been afraid to speak his mind and it takes a man to say he was wrong and he did just that lately in his recent interview with Fitz and when he talked about letting some people down. Never slow down and don’t look in the rear view mirror.

Also a quick thanks to Maggs for being a great example of a professional and a leader. After we booed him he came back and altered his game a bit. Passed more than usual, went a little harder on defense and stopped with so many jumpers.

Steph Curry, man. Just Wow. Why did he drop to 7?

God DAMN!!!! I want watever take before games.

But on a serious note, I like the squad we have as of now. Chemistry seems to be at a all time high. I wouldn’t mind if some moves were made, but I’d also be pleased if the current roster is kept the same.

But damn, it feels good to have won that game. Curry was simply amazing. If people actually look beyond the 20/5/5 arbitrary number thing, Curry should at least be the Co-ROY.

I have to be honest though. The situation tonight with the lack of players to substitute in almost happend to the Blazers back in 06-07. I was really hoping then that I would see what would happen if you absolutely could NOT sub someone in. Im a huge Blazers/NBA fan, and I mean no disrespect by this. But, I was glad to finally see what would happen. Me and my Gf were whatching it and we couldnt believe our eyes seeing this go down. I thought it was really disturbing watching a obviously injured player in Hunter try to play hurt, that was not cool.

I dont know if you saw from your broadcast. But Nate McMillan seemed to be bothered by hunter being forced to play as well. You could see it in his face. It makes me wonder what would happen if you truely only had 4 players that could go. I guess they would probably finish the game at another time.

I wanna finish this by saying I really respect you Warrior fans on how you support your team through thick and thin. I think the best fanbases in the NBA are the Blazermaniacs up here and you guys guys. It’s sucked to watch your team just lose player after player from that awesome team you had when you upset the mavs. I hope your new owner turns your franchise around because the NBA needs more fan bases like ours. I mean the L*ker fan base is the absolute worst in sports becuase of their cockyness and their total lack of basketball knowlege. I mean seriously, most of them cant name 3 players on there team other than Kobe. yet they get rewarded with multiple championships. I truely hope that in the future the Warriors are the team to beat in California..

Good luck to ya in the offseason and lets look forward to some epic battles in the future..

So many great things about this last game. Curry’s performance. The team’s effort. Nellie’s tantrum, and his solution. Finishing the season with five players, one of whom has already fouled out, and not a single other player visible on the bench. The promise of a fascinating future.

Classic. The entire season, condensed into one great game.

I wasn’t even home to watch the game. Hearing/reading what people have been saying really makes me wish I had recorded it. Orangino’s highlights only have 5 mins worth. Oh well..hopefully he puts up the whole Nellie/ref drama.

Thanks Golden State Warriors it is one hell of a season. Who will ever thought that we will surpass the Kings on the standing. I remember Kings fans are overjoy when they are over .500 at one point. So Im sure Curry will surpass Evans and be the ROY if not like everybody say that Curry is a better all around player than Evans.

How can you say the Blazers have no heart when they have lost 300+ player games due to injury this year and still won 50 games and made the playoffs with the 6th seed in the west. This Blazer team had about 100 built in excuses to quit this year but fought on regardless of who was on the floor. It was quite obvious from the opening tip that this game did not matter to the Blazers as they were already locked into the 6th seed.

What if we waived George and kept Raja Bell? Would would have happened this game? Would Raja have been healthy enough to play by then?
