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

[James lamphear]

Right the only negative is we made 13 turnovers and lately that's becoming a problem.

 

[Dom McBlazer]

One more quarter folks! Let's finish strong!

 

[crandc]

Where are you, @SlyPokerDog ? Pretty fancy dog park.

 

[illmatic99]

@THE HCP appreciate you guys stuck that scoreboard for the other teams on the broadcast. this was a good addition tonight

 

[wizenheimer]

Utah headed toward #1 seed

 

[KSF-ERIC]

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

Mavs ain't coming back from this defecit

Not if we lose. If Lakers win and we lose, we’re out no matter what Dallas does.

 

[wizenheimer]

for those that don't want the Blazers vs Clips in 1st round, pray for a OKC win

That's not right. It's academic because we're going to win this game but the Mavs were a game ahead and the Lakers were tied with us coming into tonight. So if the Mavs lost, we lost and the Lakers won... we would have the worst record and the Mavs and Lakers would be tied putting us in 7th and the play-in.

 

[blazerkor]

If both LA teams win and the Mavs lose then we'll be facing the third seeded Clippers.

g00d call. i keep forgetting we have the same record as LA

 

[KSF-ERIC]

To those who say being negative is being realistic, I offer you the 10-2 finish and everyone who was being “realistic” and picking us to go 4-8.

and if OKC holds on and we win, we play DEN. Think that's right...

im switching over to OKC-LAC game

 

[Hoopguru]

Wheres Neil?

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Bring out Blevins

 

[James lamphear]

We went little cold a little bit there.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Don’t look now but the Clippers have decided to give up.

 

[illmatic99]

Social distancing.

Then why are they behind a 21-50 team?

I was closer with 11-3

 

[AldoTrapani]

Hope they lose man. Clippers will demolish us in the playoffs. We actually have a shot against Denver

 

[brooklynballer]

Watching Clippers right now. They are definitely trying to tank (likely to get on the more favourable side of the PO bracket to avoid Lakers until the WCF). Unfortunately the Thunder are just so inept they can’t take advantage even though they’re being given wide open shots. Seriously, wide open.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Yuk clippers got it fuck okc weak ass

 

[illmatic99]

Pels down 8. Come on, New Orleans.

 

[blazerkor]

Clippers up by two with two minutes remaining and the Thunder just called a time out... I'd rather face the Nuggets. Even though the team we faced tonight is not the team we'll see in the playoffs.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Time for Elleby!
