    2019 Western Conference Finals: (1) Golden State vs (3) Portland

    This is a bit tricky because we don;t know when Durant is returning. I'm guessing he misses games 1-2, Portland steals one of them but Durant returns and the Warriors cruise from there. This is the best Blazer team we've seen in the Lillard era though, so if there's any daylight I could see them jumping on the dubs.

    Prediction: Warriors in 6

    It wasn't about being the team everyone loved, it was about beating the teams everyone else loved.

      Warriors in 6. More talent and the Blazers are going to be tired after that brutal Denver series.

        So I was rooting for Portland in the last series. I'll root for them again. But I truthfully Denver has a much better team to compete with the Warriors. Portland is just too banged up at this point. Warrirors in 5.

          GS in 6 with or without Durant.

                If Durant isn't playing, I really do think the Blazers can win this series. I like their depth more, and it's going to take some big time performances from CJ and Dame. Dame needs to recapture some of his swagger in this one, luckily they can get Curry on one of their two guards pretty much any time and try to take advantage. Hopefully Kanter is cool, and Hood isn't too hurt.

                        Lillard disappeared since round 1 imagine Harden doing that.

                          Without Durant, you can respect all of the little things the Warriors used to do to win games before having a laughably lopsided advantage with him. These vintage 15/16 Warriors are fun to watch. Hopefully Durant goes to his own team this off-season. GS never needed him to achieve greatness. Love watching old school Curry.

                            Portland sure didn't look like they belong in the WCF last night.

                            Would much rather have seen Denver here, still not sure how Portland beat them.

                              Warriors are going to go from down 15 at the half, to winning this by 20, aren't they?
