Are any 57 degree night here in the Bay Area for a special Saturday edition of Donk Donk

with Nate Duncan and Danny LaRue? How is that? Do you even know? Better than I could have done?

That's for sure. Do you even know who I was imitating? That's the... That was Merv, right?

Yes, all right. That's good. Inspired by his call on Friday night, I assume.

Yeah, so while we start with the game that was just completed, Portland and Golden State,

3-0 Golden State Lead and Portland certainly may lament the missed opportunity in game 2.

They'll lament the missed opportunity in this game and that they had sizeable first half leads

in both games. But this is a Warriors team which by the end of game 3 was missing three of their

six best players and still Portland just could not get it done. They couldn't score at all in the

second half, scoring only 33 points on... oof, 51 possessions in the second half and they just could

not get the ball in the basket. They dominated in the offensive glass early, that went away and

really I think probably the place to start in this game is just that that Dame LaRue and C.J.

McCallum did not have it. It's as good a place to start as any and both of them,

LaRue in the first half C.J. more throughout, got to the free throw line. They had a combined

20 free throw attempts in this game and the Warriors as a team had 23. But LaRue 5-18 from the field,

two of nine on two's, three of nine on three's, C.J. 7 of 20 from the field including two

attend from three, also combined six turnovers from those two guys and... Yeah, five of those by

Lillard who were really... Five of those two. I thought his performance was the bigger issue

than the other four C.J. Oh by far. Oh yeah, I mean, especially because C.J. kept on drawing fouls

and getting Warriors in the air and Lillard wasn't bringing as much positive to the table and I also

thought we got some reminders, particularly in that second half that his defense has been really

lacking in this series as well. Yeah, I mean, he's better than some other superstar point guards
