Game Thread GAME# 79: BLAZERS @ NUGGETS - APRIL 5, 2019 - FRIDAY, 7:30 PM, ESPN & NBCSNW

[TBpup]

Rick Adelman had a pretty good roster to work with. Some might say better overall. Some might say a bunch better.

Dame/CJ were MUCH higher Draft picks than Drexler/Porter. Kersey - 2nd round, Robinson - 2nd round.

IMO, Adelman was just a much better coach and coached to his players strengths in a team scheme in a much better matter.

No Curry is bad news

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Is Curry officially out? Last I saw was questionable.

I don’t think we know yet

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

I don’t think we know yet

Oh, alright from reading this thread it sounded like he was definitely out. Thank you.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Is there a caption contest tonight?

 

[BonesJones]

Stotts and Adelman are now the only 2 coaches to coach three 50 win seasons in Blazers history. Give Stotts some credit. For some perspective, the Wizards/Bullets haven’t had a 50 win season since 1979.

Good job Stotts, way to have Damian Lillard on your team!

 

[Propagandist]

Stotts has been here almost 10 years and gotten out the 1st round only 2 times. To me that sticks out much more

I'm sure there's a not-a-Blazers-fan forum somewhere out there for you.

 

[KingSpeed]

Blake Griffin has 42 so far. He’s hit 9 threes.

 

[KingSpeed]

Great coaches need great players for great success.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Curry officially out now.

 

[Scalma]

I’ll be pleasantly surprised if Simons or Trent get a chance

When were up by 30 in the 4th both will get a chance!

Great success? Us?

Simon's should play, but he wont. Get ready for 30 minutes of Evan Turner.

Huh....I thought we were at Moda. My reading skills need improvement.

I made the same mistake. I went online to get tickets and realized the moda game was Sunday.

Well being he has played well i certainly would expect it. He was giving him 26 when he was playing bad. So

I have a disturbing feeling the Blazers 'hot streak' comes to an undignified halt tonight. Hope that isn't the case but the road record, record against the west, record against Denver...a lot to overcome. And I'm guessing Evan doesn't come anywhere near the triple-double he had in the last two games.

Would love to be dead wrong and win both games against Denver to make this REALLY interesting....but just have a 'feeling'. Rare for a Vulcan.

I have a buddy of mine visiting later this month. He's very well off, and offered some good tickets, but I don't know what our playoff schedule will be like yet.

But I'll tell you: if he can get us front-row seats or a suite, I'll die of happiness.

 

[TBpup]

The zit the size of a ping pong ball on the side of Evan's face was a bit distracting during his interview with Brooke.

Curry out....ugh!

They actually have the first round available just don't know the dates yet. Go online and look.

I honestly feel like were gonna lose by 25ish. Hopefully Im wrong.

I went online early yesterday and didn't see anything on Portland's NBA website. Might be somewhere else though.

 

[kjironman1]

OK game time. See ya all later.

 

[Chris Craig]

Jokic is going to murder us tonight. He is going to dig us a grave and then fucking bury us in it.

I don't think it gets that bad but for some reason, it feels like that by the end of the 1st quarter, it won't feel like we have a real chance to win for the rest of the game no matter what runs we make.

 

[TBpup]

If Jokic is going to make shots like that, it is going to be a long night.
