[Titan]

Yeah RoCo

 

[MickZagger]

Someone said Nurk is useless?

If we can get this Nurk on a consistent basis we might make some noise in the playoffs.

 

[DDolla]

We have Dame, we win this game. Just Believe!

Told you guys to just relax

 

[crandc]

RoCo redemption.

Is everybody happy?

 

[Natebishop3]

Big shot from RoCo.

 

[JoshuaHall]

Injuries are part of the game. No one felt sorry for us when our teams have been gutted by injuries in the past.

Game. Blouses.

Who the fuck said I feel bad for them

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Hey, we're also getting FREE CHICKEN McNUGGIES!

 

[HailBlazers]

Dame > Joker

 

[Natebishop3]

Denver should have kept Grant. They really broke up a decent roster.

 

[illmatic99]

alright this can be dame's one poor shooting game of the series. missing a ridiculous number of open threes.

we should have won by 25+ with them in drop coverage for 3+ quarters

 

[Haakzilla]

Dance party!

 

[MickZagger]

Who the fuck said I feel bad for them

You’re trying to throw shade on win to open the playoffs. C’mon you ain’t Joshing no one

 

[Labinot41]

I had doubts during the game, the effort was not really there, really happy the Blazers proved me wrong. This is what i expect in the series, we are better than the Nuggets with all their players out, we should beat them, no excuse.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Dame > Joker

TRUTH!

 

[Titan]

Blazers may not need that much defense. Nugz don't have the horses to keep up.

Easy money. Tried to tell people from the time this matchup was set that Portland should be the favorite. Now playing with house money for the rest of the series.

I sure hope so.

Bad GM

This is pretty much what my comment meant. Don’t need to play much defense with the talent difference.

 

[riverman]

Got the Nugz punchdrunk now...need to do this again real soon!

 

[SlyPokerDog]

LET'S GO BLAZERS!

Clap Clap ClapClapClap

 

[illmatic99]

campazzo fouled dame approximately 8 times that possession

 

[Natebishop3]

Norm is having a rough night at the rim.

 

[Scalma]

If we can get this Nurk on a consistent basis we might make some noise in the playoffs.

he’s pretty much just hitting his averages tonight. This is who he is.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

If you allow Nurk to play his game, our victories will be decisive.

If you stick to guard isos then it will be much closer.

 

[julius]

Need to realize that 1 game does not a series make.

Don't let up for game 2!

 

[DDolla]

Thank you Melo

 

[B-Roy]

Campazzo fouls the entire possession and they finally call it, and he’s complaining.

 

[Natebishop3]

campazzo fouled dame approximately 8 times that possession

That fucker should have fouled out long ago.

 

[TBpup]

This is pretty much what my comment meant. Don’t need to play much defense with the talent difference.

...which comes in quite conveniently handy for this Blazer team.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

OK, we took care of business tonight. Need to maintain intensity; try to sweep.

 

[Scalma]

Props to Ant. Kid stepped up.
