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

These announceers so bad; w2ho was the last Denver foul on? Does Compazzo0 have 2 ?

 

[TBpup]

Kent talking about how many defensive players are missing from the 2019 version of the Nuggets......exactly right. It's why I think Portland should be the favorite. 5 players missing or injured from that squad. Portland has more overall talent by far.

Win this!

Kanter getting killed by jokic

 

[EGame]

a motivated melo against his former team could be huge

 

[beast blazer]

Good melo

 

[Labinot41]

M3LO!!!

 

[riverman]

MELO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[DDolla]

Incoming: Melo hater

 

[Titan]

Double 0 with double threes

 

[Dom McBlazer]

Ahh yes. If there's anyone that this series should mean a lot to them, it's Melo.

 

[Labinot41]

Good we tied, but we gotta do something about Jokic

 

[beast blazer]

Melo hitting 3s would be like brandon roy hitting 3s against us

 

[James lamphear]

We don't have answered with Jokic he destroying kanter.

 

[ehizzy3]

Keep attacking Jokic in the pick and roll.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

That's right, Melo, stick to those spot up threes. Nothing else please.

 

[EGame]

Good we tied, but we gotta do something about Jokic

Nurk can probably play better than he has but Kanter can't. Regardless we may have to hard double him as this series goes along and make others beat us.

[wizenheimer]

people shitting on Dame already but he's the one directing the comeback

 

[Natebishop3]

I’m fine with them over using Jokic because dude is gonna get tired out.

 

[BlazerBeav]

No! Don’t double him - that’s what makes him deadly. Live with twos from Jokic.

 

[TBpup]

Nurk can probably play better than he has but Kanter can't. Regardless we may have to hard double him as this series goes along and make others beat us.

So take away their best player and make someone else beat us? That's a novel idea. Almost like every other coach in the league does to us. Wonder if Stotts will figure out to have players like Morris, Campazzo, etc beat us....

 

[Mr. Robot]

jokic will get his, he cant be stopped, but they can slow him down, make him work hard

however, the key is to limit other denver players and obviously blazers need to play inside out, share the ball, move themselves

 

[PCmor7]

Jokic is the presumptive MVP
Jokic looks like he's in grat shape and ready to play
What kind of an impact will Aaron Gordon have on this series defensively
Michael Porter Jr is ready to come into his own this series
Jokic is unstoppable inside ... did you see it
Michael Porter Jr is ready to shine
Campazzo is great defensively, he gets in opponents heads
As strong as Kanter is, he can't handle Jokic's greatness

And we're tied. Who are the Nuggets playing? We don't know

 

[Chris Craig]

Melo came to play

 

[Natebishop3]

That’s ball movement!

 

[Titan]

Simons sez three

 

[Labinot41]

Anfernee!

 

[EGame]

melo is en fuego

 

[Labinot41]

Yeah melo

 

[Titan]

Melo knows this place to well

 

[riverman]

MELO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 12 pts in no time baby! Now we're cookin'
