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

[Dom McBlazer]

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

Okay and? Guys are stepping up.

 

[illmatic99]

this is the kinda defense we played to start the season. no resistance

 

[Jayblaze]

Nurk talks a big game but he is trash and soft

 

[BonesJones]

Terry Stotts had a week to prepare this team.

Lol.

 

[James lamphear]

We have to make work on defense we need Nurk sometimes in the offense.

 

[Cugel]

not gonna be a win unless someone decides to rebound. That is the difference in the game.

 

[Shaboid]

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

I'd rather have RoCo on him probably

 

[beast blazer]

I dont understand why these guys abandon ball movement

 

[Labinot41]

Jokic posting up defended by Covington, Nurk stands right next with no player on him, we still defend Jokic 1on1, easy bucket Jokic. Pathetic Defense, at least Stotts is out after this series

 

[Jayblaze]

Terry Stotts had a week to prepare this team.

Lol.

Stotts could have 3 weeks and team still wouldn't be prepared

 

[Mr. Robot]

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.

well, im glad someone else noticed that nurk is not involved in offense

i wonder whos fault is that, but people will shit on nurk, you just know it

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Jokic is no rim protector. ATTACK the rim!

 

[Sean.ivity]

Reading through this thread I would think we're getting blown out by 40 in game 4 being down 0-3 in the series.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

He's magically supposed to put up numbers without touching the ball as if telekinesis is one of his powers.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Stotts:" String together some stops".

 

[MickZagger]

Whoever’s idea it was to play through Nurk. Solid game plan

 

[Hoopguru]

Negative Nancies calm dowm!

 

[EGame]

oh cj

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Would you look at that... Passing to Nurk works..

 

[MickZagger]

I think you mean what's the timeline until Collins has another setback?

Size and length is crucial at this point in the season

 

[Labinot41]

Cj killing us

 

[AldoTrapani]

Wow this is crazy. I was really optimistic about this series but idk blazers can’t even hang against a short handed denver team. What happens if their fully healthy?

 

[bobf]

Attacking the rim out of control is not a good shot.

 

[PDXFonz]

Rivers gets all arm

CJ gets all ball

 

[RonBrewer]

Pathetic. FN PATHETIC.

CJ Continues to think he is Dame at the rim and gets his shit tossed and fires up another brick immediately.

 

[Haakzilla]

...that 5pt lead after the 1st sure was nice!

 

[AldoTrapani]

Cj killing us

Cj? What’s he doing wrong? How about everybody plays defense

 

[James lamphear]

We are lucky we down by 3 that all I got to say.

 

[Dom McBlazer]

Dame would get Stone Cold Stunner'd and STILL not get a foul.

 

[Labinot41]

Cj? What’s he doing wrong? How about everybody plays defense

His one on one no passing shit kills the Blazers if he's not making shots
