Notice Blazers VS Nuggets 2nd Rnd

[borim69]

If we bring the same intensity as we did the against the Thunder we have a good shot. The Bench is going to be the key to this series especially from Leonard and Collins.

LMAO.... This is a must watch. At the very minimum, from 0:42 on. Hilarious!

Unfortunately, I'm not expecting much from either one of them. A few rebounds, perhaps, but not much else.

I live in Denver currently and I'm happy I'll get to see the Blazers in person in the playoffs this year! Got my tickets to game 1!

True fan. Make some noice and make us proud !

I think people who are worried about how we will handle Jokic and Milsap should think about how worried the Nuggets should be about Dame and CJ. I actually think Aminu will do a good job on Milsap and Jokic is going to get his but so will Dame and CJ. The entire series was close with them this season but this is the playoffs and it's a totally different animal. I think we have the edge in experience and overall talent. Jokic will likely have a helluva series and we'll beat them in 6.

Well I'll be in section 352 (still cost 77 dollars! Plus $25 in fees haha). But I'll try!

 

[Bruno_Sabino]

We got this for sure!

 

[Bruno_Sabino]

they are already tired mentally. 7 games series is very tough. We got them. Trust.

 

[DUB]

I’m concerned about the penetration of their guards. Nurkic’s injury is a big hit.

We need to stop penetration, and make them jumpshooters.

I can live with a jumpshooting Joker.

 

[DUB]

On the other end, run, all game, and drive, especially in the second half.

The more tired Joker gets, the lazier defence he will play, the more he will foul.

Establish that narrative early in the series, the more calls the refs will give us.

PnR series

Schedule is up. Perfect. Wednesday doesn't start until I get back from my class, no Saturday games. So I don't have to cancel hair appointment next Saturday or ballet and dinner May 11.

Definitely good omen when Blazers so considerate of my schedule.

Got my good luck charms ready.

Blazers in six. Make Jokic run. Keep Dame hot.

 

[joeBlazers]

I just want to see me some Skal, if Enes cannot go.

 

[James lamphear]

What I see we are more physical then the Nuggets are in these playoffs so far. Yes the Nuggets just got done 7 game series but it wasn't physical series and some of there players are tired that why they was missing so much from the 3 last night. Now they got 1 day off before facing us and the series is every other day this is one key I think we win the series. The only thing worried me about game one are we going be rusty from the time off.

 

[James lamphear]

I look back how our players shot against Denver and the one player that didn't shoot well against them was Dame. Yes he had 26 points one game but 2-10 from the 3 and one game with 30 but against there bench the game we won. Plus CJ was up and down against them too. Turner play good against them and Hood play good against them too. Leonard score good couple early games against them. If we get Dame and CJ from the 1st series I don't see us loosing this series. Plus if Harkless play like he has definitely I don't see us loosing this series.

 

[crandc]

I know when a team starts on the road they hope to win one of the first two. I really want Game One. Establish Blazers can win in any arena.

I think its our best shot at taking one on the road. Game one. One day rest.

 

[Hoopguru]

Collins needs to really evolve and pester their bigs. Curry & Hood will be our hired gun slingers.
The biggest surprise is that I see Skal getting some minutes and being effective down low. Rip City

I think Millsap kills us Everytime we play him

 

[Natebishop3]

I don't see how anyone could watch that game last night and not come away encouraged.

 

[Chris Craig]

9 people picked Denver?

 

[Hoopguru]

9 people picked Denver?

who are you?

 

[Chris Craig]

who are you?

I'm the wild card

 

[wizenheimer]

the one thing I worry about (other than Kanter's availability):

Blazers shot 36% from three in the regular season; they shot 41% against OKC. If they 'regress' to their season average, that's around 4 less points a game. That could be significant. I just don't know how long Portland can maintain their hot shooting from distance

 

[Wade Garrett]

9 people picked Denver?

There was only 4 of us as of last night!

 

[Chris Craig]

You picked Denver...come on Wade

 

[Wade Garrett]

You picked Denver...come on Wade

Absolutely I did!
My reasoning was based around experience...look it up.

 

[bobf]

I think we are the decided underdog vs Denver without Nurk, without home court. Dame played unbelievably well last series. We can't count on that happening again. Rest of the team is gonna have to play much better than they did vs OKC.
