Game Thread GAME# 72: NUGGETS @ BLAZERS - MAY 16, 2021 - SUNDAY, 6:00, NBCSNW

[KSF-ERIC]

@KSF-ERIC my apologies. You called the Dallas Minny thing.

Very confused about why they're doing this

No problem. This is Minnesota’s last game. They want to win. Maybe Dallas comes back though. Who knows?

At this point DAL is 5th no matter what so they won't feel any urgency to win

 

[Fairly-Hard]

I’m at the sports book at Chinook Winds. Great seat and I am watching every game at the same time.
There are about 8 of us here locked in on the games.

Clips are back up in OKC. This changes things. Explains what Dallas is doing if they want to avoid LA

 

[riverman]

Come out of the break hungry...don't get cute...put this game away this qtr!!!!!

 

[Dom McBlazer]

A competent 2nd half shoudn't be TOO difficult, right? RIGHT?!?!?

 

[Hoopguru]

Blazers aren't worried about the results of the other games going on.

 

[DDolla]

The Clippers came out firing after they saw the halftime score and know that they might be playing Portland if they win.

 

[illmatic99]

Looks like it's gonna happen. OKC out tanking LAC.

That would mean:

3-6: Clipers-Blazers
4-5: Nuggets-Mavericks

 

[wizenheimer]

I think Dallas decided to tank this game because they didn't want the Clippers. What they may have not calculated is the OKC might actually out-tank the Clips

 

[Hoopguru]

If we keep Melo under 18 points we’ll win!

 

[AldoTrapani]

We facing clippers guys. Clippers so good they can’t even lose with their bottom feeders playing lol

Nope.. clippers bottom feeders are still good enough to win

I am watching the match, it is 04:20 am now in my time zone in Bosnia. I enjoy in the match and how our players play, and of course my Bosnian Beast Nurk. But i must ask here in this forum some of you who wrote that Nurk sucks because of three f....ing missed FT, and that he will cost us play off game etc...Are you serious? He has 18/10 in firts half, he scored almost all of fg, and you write negative about him because of three ft? i really do not understand that. Can you explain me please?

 

[AldoTrapani]

Porter is better than Gordon now.

Porter needs his own team

You're a very odd person.

 

[illmatic99]

LMAO. If the Lakers lose also, we end up in 5th.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

BTW; I think we could have signed LaMychal Green (39% from 3) instead of Jones. Seems like he might have been a better fit; I think he would actually be in our rotation.

 

[Hoopguru]

Nurks got to keep his head in the game!

 

[James lamphear]

Good timeout just to many turnovers right now.

 

[Mr. Robot]

Looks like it's gonna happen. OKC out tanking LAC.

That would mean:

3-6: Clipers-Blazers
4-5: Nuggets-Mavericks

in this case, it all depends on what the lakers do

if they lose, blazers are 5th seed, if they win, blazers are 6th seed

 

[HailBlazers]

Nurks got to keep his head in the game!

Double double he's dialed in!

 

[SlyPokerDog]

This is where I am watching the game.

 

[crandc]

Denver not trying hard enough to tank.

 

[AldoTrapani]

You're a very odd person.

What? They’re literally playing all their scrubs. Let’s hope they lose

 

[HailBlazers]

This is where I am watching the game.

F yeah Dawg!

 

[Chris Craig]

What? They’re literally playing all their scrubs. Let’s hope they lose

They are only up 4

 

[crandc]

Dame time early.

Is that Zach in weird red and black print shirt?

 

[illmatic99]

With Dallas losing, we're guaranteed a playoff spot. We can rest everyone NOW.

Mavs ain't coming back from this defecit

 

[Chris Craig]

This is where I am watching the game.
