This was such a Halloween win cause it took something supernatural to get a win that going to be honest with a couple minutes to go I had serious doubts.

one more thing -- Take the interim tag off by firing Billups and giving Splitter the job and 3 year deal -- i am sold

I agree. I’m still looking for my first gripe about Splitter.

 

[Natebishop3]

Blazers fans deserve a season like this. Dame deserves to see this happen too!

I kinda wonder if Dame is gonna feel pressure to come back sooner if we are in the playoffs.

 

[Everything Beagle]

got a nice whistle at the end but i'll take it. tough defense throughout.

kris murray playing 5 more minutes than shaedon is wild, especially tonight when shae was playing so well. splitter makes bizarre rotational decisions

We were playing harder, and we got rewarded. I'll take it!

 

[Ripcity4life77]

Also that attempted FT miss ( make ) by Grant was funny but almost was not cause Jokic almost made that shot so while funny could have been one of the "Grant" moments that have made him loved and hated all in the same game at times -- LOL

Got the whistle because we kept attacking. Denver had no choice but to settle.

I think he absolutely does. All that talk blah blah blah. Blazers take 7-8 seed and Dame return.

That’s what it boils down to.

If Grant HADNT made that shot and Jokic hit that turnaround, we lose.

the jump ball that toumani got was a lil generous. he looked like he was bear hugging jokic

 

[wizenheimer]

Blazers made enough hustle plays to win a close game, and did. Grant is such a good FT shooter, he makes the shot even when he tries to miss

Denver found out about the negative value of a wasted challenge. Camara getting a jump ball with Jokic would have been likely been called a foul if challenged and reviewed. But Nuggets wasted it on a pretty obvious shooting foul

huge block by Sharpe

 

[julius]

That song better get @THE HCP dancing on the court soon.

 

[e_blazer]

It has to be said: RIP CITY!!!!!’

 

[42N8Bounce]

Wow
Just wow

 

[illmatic99]

If Grant HADNT made that shot and Jokic hit that turnaround, we lose.

exactly what i was thinking. whose decision was it for him to try to miss?

He prioritizes defense to finish the game. It worked.

 

[Everything Beagle]

I noticed DC was out at the end... how'd he do tonight?

 

[MickZagger]

exactly what i was thinking. who's decision was it for him to try to miss?

Chauncey’s

 

[Everything Beagle]

The way JG was glancing around, I think he expected we would get the rebound off to the side where Jrue was.

 

[Natebishop3]

exactly what i was thinking. who's decision was it for him to try to miss?

Probably Splitter. They were saying on the broadcast that it made sense to miss because Denver would shoot a three anyway.

 

[Boomchakalaka2]

Yeah, that's definitely a character building game. Shows them they can win clutch games. The Utah game (different circumstances of course) and now this.

 

[Chris Craig]

I noticed DC was out at the end... how'd he do tonight?

He did ok, not great.

 

[Everything Beagle]

he was. 9 times out of 10 that would have been called a foul

Makes up for the bad calls we got a couple games ago

 

[Everything Beagle]

He did ok, not great.

I mean, against Joker? I'll take okay.

 

[Chris Craig]

exactly what i was thinking. whose decision was it for him to try to miss?

He shot it so bad trying to miss it, he made it.

 

[riverman]

Shoutout to both Kris Murray and Jerami Grant for bringing it this season..what a difference they've made from last season.

 

[BlayZa]

im so happy about the win that i dont even care about HCP missing the halftime shot and letting us all down.

 

[Boomchakalaka2]

Anyone else notice Slpitter has a Phil Jackson thing

 

[julius]

As good as one could expect against Joker. Lots of rebounds though.

 

[blazerfan11]

If Grant HADNT made that shot and Jokic hit that turnaround, we lose.

If Grant had missed the 2nd free throw, Jokic would not have been downcourt, he would have been battling for the rebound as the clock likely expired.

That was the plan for missing the 2nd free throw.

 

[riverman]

Anyone else notice Slpitter has a Phil Jackson thing

My take is pure Jerry Sloan
