Game Thread PLAYOFFS: ROUND 1, GAME 1: BLAZERS @ NUGGETS - MAY 22, 2021 - SATURDAY, 7:30, ESPN

[Dom McBlazer]

Why the fuck are we struggling against this short handed fucking team

Maybe the Nuggets are better than you think.

 

[TBpup]

As well as Portland has shot and with how many points thay have from the bench, it feels like we should be ahead.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Maybe the Nuggets are better than you think.

Man bullshjt this is sad. Their short handed as fuck. Ridiculous

 

[illmatic99]

make a shot, dame. for godsakes

 

[AldoTrapani]

As well as Portland has shot and with how many points thay have from the bench, it feels like we should be ahead.

Exactly!! This is sad.

 

[James lamphear]

Our bigs playing like shit and our guards can't stay in front of anybody.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

As well as Melo shooting, we are behind. How does that happen?

 

[RonBrewer]

Nurkic is Jokic's bitch. So fuckin disheartening watching him just go through the motions.

 

[Shaboid]

Looking back on the season, I feel like I'm ready for the playoffs. It was a wild ride and it kept my heart in good shape.

 

[Labinot41]

Nuggets much better coached team than the Blazers

 

[B-Roy]

Our guys are all getting beat one on one.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Wow this is sad

What's sad about this?

 

[AldoTrapani]

This is fucking pathetic Denver is completely short handed and we’re completely healthy and we can barley hang. Trash ass performance this is why I get pissed

 

[AldoTrapani]

What's sad about this?

Sly look at this shit. Denver is completely short handed and we’re completely healthy. We can’t take advantage when our bench is killing like this?

 

[Sheldon Shape]

We look like the Blazers who were gonna miss the playoffs, not the ones with the streak.

No involving Nurkic on offense and defense looks like trash.

 

[James lamphear]

CJ doing a poor job of running the offense

He always had trouble running the offense since he got back from his injuries.

 

[AldoTrapani]

We look like the Blazers who were gonna miss the playoffs, not the ones with the streak.

Playoff Nurk isn’t good I been saying this for awhile

 

[BonesJones]

Blazers defense: Switch or drop the big, fail to box out, be completely out of position off the ball, and Kanter 1v1 against Jokic

 

[Labinot41]

We saw the whole season who this Blazers Team is, so you shouldn’t be surprised

 

[TBpup]

Nuggets much better coached team than the Blazers

We have more talent out there. Sad to see that go to waste so often.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Playoff Nurk isn’t good I been saying this for awhile

Hard to be good when you don't even touch the ball, dude.

 

[AldoTrapani]

I hope this series shows Nurk is useles I can’t stand this guy

 

[MickZagger]

Murk must stay out of foul trouble. Kanter on jokic will be embarrassing

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

If you got to him sooner, Nurk, that wouldn't happen. Pay attention.

 

[EGame]

so rebounding?

 

[RonBrewer]

Giving them several chances with our lazy defensive rebounding.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Wow this is pathetic. And to think I wanted to avoid the clippers

 

[EGame]

offensive boards is the reason we are losing. if nurk, kanter and crew can actually rebound we should be fine.

 

[B-Roy]

The defensive intensity is just not there. This team doesn’t play defense. No communication.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Well the good news is Stotts is gone after this series right?
