The Blazers were one “Angry Stephen Curry Who’s Pissed Off About His Injury And Is Going To Dominate In Overtime” away from tying up this series against the Warriors. Now they’re down 3-1 and is it probably safe for me to say that their goose is cooked. I won’t say that a goose has never been cooked than the Blazers’ goose is, but there aren’t many examples of more thoroughly cooked geese out there.
C.J. McCollum didn’t have his greatest game ever, but he had a relatively efficient 9-of-23 compared to his backcourt companion’s 9-of-30. Sometimes I look at the things he does on the court and I start to think to myself “that looks kinda like Kobe Bean Bry-” and then I stop myself because those wounds are too fresh. I need to figure out a comparison for him that doesn’t make me sad. Monta Ellis or something. I don’t know. That one makes me sad too and it sucks as a comparison.
