what Murray was doing was just fine. ESPN's prolonged focus on it was insufferable

but if that's Zach flipping double birds to Murray or the crowd or whoever, that's just classless behavior.

Just be thankful Collins didn't injure himself or a teammate.

boi, its nothing new for these two teams, weve seen that earlier with porter jr and evan turner

its gonna keep happening and you should know these two teams dont really like each other, especially after nurk wished them a happy summer and blazers kept them out of the playoffs twice and then beat them in the 2nd round of the playoffs

blazers caused them a lot of misery in the last few years (and it can happen again) and naturally they hold a grudge against the blazers

even if that's all true, and it may be, that's no excuse for what Zach apparently did. He's not some drunk fan....although I guess he's mostly been a fan the last 2 years

That's basically it. Unless Barton comes back, the Nuggets are who they are on defense. And Jokic doesn't play because he's a defensive stopper. He plays because he's such a versatile offensive player. Michael Malone just has to live with this.

The Blazers have been pretty consistently a 120-point per game scoring team against all but the best defenses lately. Powell's probably going to shoot the ball better than he did in Game 1. Kanter's probably going to have a game somewhere in there where he gets 10 points and 7 rebounds on garbage. The Nuggets need to find a way to efficiently score 125 points because they don't want Jokic running up and down the court all 90 feet for a lot of possessions.

I don't give a shit about a bird-flipping tit-for-tat....all were classless acts

Seems like a team hanging their hopes on Will Barton is a problem in itself? Barton has really never been a game changer IMO?

classless or not, nba needs more of this shit in general (birds or scuffles or trash talk, whatever it takes), it adds fuel to the game and makes it more exciting, more enjoayble

have you watched knicks-atlanta game and what knicks fans did to trae young, but he got them quiet in the end

Only 22 people can lay claim to who may be right.

Hopefully 14 of you are right!

I will be right!

Hoping so. I picked Denver in 6 and I hope I'm wrong. Knew it was gonna be a long series and we've seen the best and worst of Blazers. We need to see 2 bests to make you and 13 others right.

Though to be fair after game 1, on the podcast I said if we won game 2 we would sweep. So what the fuck do I know.

Blow em out in game 6! Then make them understand that the first quarter in game 5 won't happen in game 7.
Blazers in 7!

We blew them out in game 4 then we're down 22 in game 5.

So I don't think they'd be particularly scared if it happened again lol.

Another neg.... You guys don't seem to be able to stay positive if your life depended on it.

Negative? I'm talking about a reality. Lol.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Reality to a neg.
Are you suggesting it is not realistic for the Blazers to push this to a game 7?
Are you then suggesting that it is not realistic to think the Blazers could win a game 7?

You sir like many around here are a NEG. When the season is over have at it. You initiated this conversation by responding to my comment. Until the season is over and there is no more chance to win a game PLEASE keep your NEGATIVE crap to yourself or wallow in your misery with the other NEGS. I will choose to stay positive and root for my Blazers.
