Game Thread GAME# 74: NUGGETS @ BLAZERS - MARCH 28, 2017 - TUESDAY, 7:00 PM (PST), CSNNW

[illmatic99]

I can't wait to see Nurk vs Jokic. Plums will prolly be up for this too.

 

[Trackjack]

Due to we have tie breaker on Denver a win moves us 2 games ahead of them so very important game for us.

 

[Pinwheel1]

The two Jazz games will be tough as they are in a battle with the Clippers and Thunder for HC in the first round, Currently they have 2 game lead in the loss column. The road game with them will be a loss for sure.

The Spurs last two games are @Portland and @ Utah.
Hopefully GS will be up 3 games before that last road trip for them.

 

[Reep]

I don't think this is a big game in terms of playoffs this season, but I do think it is a big game in that the Blazers need be able to slam the door shut on teams challenging them. This is a home game and they need to do just that. Great teams are the ones that know which games are really important and jump all over them.

Honestly, I think this will be a blow out. Neither guard had a great game in LA and they are due for more. I'm certain Nurk wants to make a point and as long as he can stay out of foul trouble I think he will.

 

[Mediocre Man]

I keep hearing about how we have an easy schedule and it looks like we play Utah twice, Houston, San Antonio and New Orleans. I think this game is a big one.

7 of 9 at home for Portland vs 2 of 9 at home for Denver

 

[Mediocre Man]

Actually, it is huge. It's taken us 12 games to gain 1.5 games on DEN and pull even with them in the standings. If we lose on Tuesday, we give back 1 game of that forward progress and they would be 1 game up on us in the standings with only 8 games to go.

We still hold an advantage in strength of schedule for the remaining games, but it's not as great as it once was. We just beat three of the easiest opponents we had on our schedule. We still have a few "should win" games left, but we also play UTA twice, HOU, SAS and NOP - who just beat DEN by 25 last night and recently trounced us by 23.

BNM

NOP plays Denver 2 mor times as well. It's just not life or death if we win or lose

But if we can't beat them on our own floor maybe it isn't such a big advantage

If we can't beat Denver with the schedules we have, why would you want to be in the playoffs.

Tell me about it

 

[riverman]

A game to really root for the good guys! Great to have something on the line to play for...we're peaking at the right time...I'll bet the Spurs rest starters against us when we play them

 

[Elton]

This is the game of our season.



Dude. No. Fuck NBA TV. I'm blacked out of league pass if it gets picked up

Same. Can't believe I signed up for $199 a season for full league-wide streaming (can't get NBA TV on CenturyLink Prism) and they black out the NBA TV "national" games that get picked up.

They lost me for next year. I've missed a lot of games because of this BS.

Honestly I usually have 0 problems finding good quality streams when I decide to watch a game live

 

[PDXFonz]

And US is Plumlee goes off and WE lose right?

Are you kidding me, people here never get salty.

 

[BrunoSOC]

Big game

 

[jonnyboy]

Just stream it. Fuck the NBA and fuck the television providers. All they do is fuck people so fuck them back by streaming it.

Fuck em.

All these people getting fucked. If only I was a voyeur...

Nah, we still like Plums.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

So I was watching the highlights of the Nuggets and Pelicans, their crowd is so tame.

 

[Orion Bailey]

You need higher standards.

Trade that bottle of Jergens and tissue roll in for an ink pen and note pad and join the paparazzi. Then your voyeurism will get you PAID, not solo laid!!!!

 

[THE HCP]

Will National network TV respond???

Ohhhh I'm quite sure NYC and LA and Chicago are just PRAYING they can watch this game on national TV! HA!

 

[THE HCP]

We will get the same amount of viewers tomorrow night east of the Rockies that an Oregon/Zags championship game would get...... probably around 200-218 people!

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

We need @magnifier661 for this game, he's got that magical playoff touch

I'm aware of the relative ease of finding alt-streams on the inter webs. It's the principle of it that irks me and I don't like trying to set up a vpn and looking on sketchy sites for an extra pixelated janky stream.

There's actually a website that does all the fuss for you, and brings "legit" sites. All you need is an ad-blocker and you're good.

 

[H.C.]

I'm a little disappointed this game isn't in Denver.
I want to see if Denver fan's would boo Nurk.

My principles flew out the window right along with Comcast's and the NBA's as far as this subject is concerned. The site i use is really simple and hi def quality. There is always one pop up when you first start the stream and then you're home free. I cant watch CSNNW where i live even if i did want to get boned by the cable providers, so screw it. Im not going to pass up games my local providers couldnt give me anyway.
