Game Thread PLAYOFFS: ROUND 1, GAME 2: BLAZERS @ NUGGETS - MAY 24, 2021 - MONDAY, 7:00 , TNT & NBCSNW

[beast blazer]

Too bad we wasted such a good game from dame. Everyone has been abysmal

 

[BlazerRx]

What happened to all the ball movement and assists we had last game. Completely different offense this game and if it wasnt for dame, this game would already be over.... Come on blazers!

 

[OneSport3]

This defense is no better than the defense you see at a 24 hour fitness run.

 

[JoshuaHall]

Has Norm or RoCo gotten one open 3 this game?

norm did and bricked it

 

[julius]

Team seems content with being 1-1

 

[EGame]

Totally agree. To be fair, this looks like a typical post-season game under Terry Stotts.

Absolutely immune to adjustments with a team so short handed.

Pretty much. Has me super excited for game 3 and game 4 and... Yeah, it is going to be the same tale. Stotts is a moron and has no clue how to adjust. I bet he is awful at chess.

 

[Ed O]

Has Norm or RoCo gotten one open 3 this game?

Powell had an open corner 3 that he missed in the third quarter. It was a big miss because it's about as easy as that shot is gonna get.

 

[illmatic99]

OBVIOUS counters here. just OBVIOUS.

you stotts fans wonder why people want this guy gone-- pay attention now.

malone put gordon on Dame. we let them get away with that nonsense for 5 minutes in a playoff game without a single counter.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Too bad we wasted such a good game from dame. Everyone has been abysmal

It’s all good we atleast coming back home 1-1

 

[BonesJones]

Dame can't do it all. Someone else needs to step up.

We dont run sets to get guys like Norm or RoCo open 3s. Neither has had even a semi-clean 3pt look all game long. Of course they dont get going. It's just pick n roll and ISO and praying Dame and CJ save us no matter who our forwards are.

 

[PCmor7]

I don't know how anyone could think this team was anywhere ready to play tonight mentally. Give up a wide-open corner 3. RoCo with a lazy 10-foot pass that looked like it was intended for Compazzo.

This team never can be happy with success. They always have to make things hard for themselves.

This shouldn't be a series. They've just given Denver all the reason in the world to believe they can get home-court advantage back.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Powell had an open corner 3 that he missed in the third quarter. It was a big miss because it's about as easy as that shot is gonna get.

Fuck him he’s weak IMO

 

[James lamphear]

I'm tired of having a coach who doesn't know how to use forwards.

I am tired guards not using our towards this been going on for years. Yes some it's the coach and some of it's our guards.

 

[theprunetang]

We can beat them with our shitty defense, if both CJ and Dame go off. But, looks like we got the wine hangover CJ tonight. I call him CJ Buttholem

 

[illmatic99]

Team seems content with being 1-1

that is stotts' quote verbatim

 

[PCmor7]

What happened to all the ball movement and assists we had last game. Completely different offense this game and if it wasnt for dame, this game would already be over.... Come on blazers!

We had our good game, so everyone thought we could just take this one off.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Denver isn’t even fully healthy. Their literally missing their 2nd best player and 6th man. Weak ass shit

We’re up 1-0 on the road

 

[PCmor7]

Well, thanks Blazers. I was going to procrastinate with my work, but I guess I don't have to waste my time watching this trash performance tonight.

 

[VenomXL]

Very choppy game. So many whistles.

 

[BigGameDamian]

This could be the turning point.

 

[Ed O]

The refs decided to start calling grabbing fouls on the Nuggets. That is nice.

 

[Darkwebs]

Refs must’ve looked at the box score and saw the foul differential, and are now trying to even it out, at least a little bit

 

[EGame]

if we can get this to single digits going to the 4th we can do this. wont be easy though

 

[AldoTrapani]

Honest question guys how do we stop Jokic?

 

[EGame]

Honest question guys how do we stop Jokic?

honest asnwer. you dont

 

[JoshuaHall]

Nuggets fans boo while Aaron Gordon admits he commits a foul, lol

 

[VenomXL]

This team can’t get out of their own way.

 

[Natebishop3]

Kanter is killing us.

 

[EGame]

kanter is so lazy. if he isnt gonna rebound he can just sit his ass for the rest of this series

 

[B-Roy]

I don’t know why we aren’t helping more off drives. Denver doesn’t have a lot of shooting on the floor.
