Well most of us know Lebron was "ES SCARED" of the Blazers coming back so he pulled this whole walkout thing. Not sure why you can't see that?

I don't recall that ever being an issue. ISO ball was the complaint with Roy, and the ability to defend it better when things slow down in the playoffs.

Funny, that sounds like a Stotts complaint lol.

Literally has been the complaint for about 20 years. The only team that didn't have this complaint in the last 20-25 years was Steve Smith, Rasheed Wallace, Sabonis, Brian Grant, Scottie Pippin
But of course since then the game has changed and the Blazers have not had that much talent or depth. Not even close.

It was the exact same problem. Nate would bring a big out for Roy to screen above the three point line and the other team would instead trap Brandon. It happened all the time.

That’s not how I remember it. Roy just went 1 vs 5 and scored 21 points in the last 12:01 of Game 4 vs Dallas in 2011, his last playoff win.

I'm with you there. Sending multiple defenders to slow Roy isn't the same as trapping Dame above the 3pt line to make him give the ball up. Roy's effectiveness went down in those situations, where teams could better plan for him in the playoffs, but it didn't really change his style of play like it does with Dame.
 
Magic cut 21 pt deficit to 3. Now 11 but lots of time to go.
 
Mark Jackson just said... Mark Cuban and Don Nelson just add some talent to play with Luka. Geeee I wish Olshey is listening.
 
Well there goes the Mavs. Clippers and Lakers lucky to be facing injured teams
 
Jamal Murray is amazing. Everything before this was just an appetizer to his career. What a star
 
I wonder if there is a fan on the Denver forum constantly posting how good other teams players are? Like how amazing Dame is?
 
Damn... it’s the Murray vs Mitchell show again.
 
it's a damn shame we can't watch this with fans. crowds be absolutely apeshit right now

Fam bam ima fan of basketball and marvel at performances that warrant praise. I don’t just stick on one team like a homer.

Enjoy great players putting in work!
 
Nuggets going to third consecutive Game 7. Crazy. Murray is good but still has a lot to prove. Hopefully, Game 7 is fun.

Absolutely. There are many fans that can root for a particular team and still appreciate great players in general. The Murray v Mitchell match-up is almost enough to make me care about the pay-offs even though the Blazers are done.
