Blazers advance to the 2nd round by default
Definitely wasn't a legit advancement since the Clippers lost CP3 and Blake out of the starting lineup. So the Blazers will have to avoid getting swept to prove to everyone they belong in the 2nd round because as of now they are only there because of a gift.
Kind of like how the 2012 sixers got a gift wrapped advancement to the 2nd round when Rose when down.
Also there is nothing APPEALING about Blazers vs Warriors

Do not underestimate Blazers. They gave Warriors some trouble in the regular season.

Lillard lit up Steph for 50 earlier this year. The Warriors will not be able to handle playing in Portland without Steph leading them.

Pretty weak excuse, seeing as Blazers were probably going to win game 4. Realize Griffin wasn't anything special when they played in Portland. Also, the Clippers were still playing like shit outside of Chris Paul. This would have gone 7 games with CP3.

Durability is part of the game. It's not Blazers' fault Clips are a fragile team.

It will be interesting to see if the Curry-less Warriors can continue to remain undefeated in this post-season.

They already lost. Unless you're going to go back and reevaluate every game to see what fouls should have and shouldn't have counted, you should drop this shtick, old man.

Interesting matchup.
Portland's biggest strength on D:
- interior D/ Midrange D
- Fast Break D
GSW's current PG (who I'm a huge fan of, and have been since his HS days) stengths are drives and midrange jumpers. He can't shoot well from 3, and 3pts defense is Portland's biggest weakness.
Also, GSW outgunned Portland in the regular season, but gave up quite a bit more points than they usually did, indicating they had trouble with Portland on the defensive end. With Curry out, they'll have a harder time simpy winning games depending on their offense: they will have to tighten up their D.
Nice series ahead.
