Disappointing loss.

Blazers just didn’t bring the energy. Dame is the only player that looked like he had any urgency.

Regroup and let’s get the next one.

 

[BlazerRx]

On to the next one. Terrible first quarter and it was all uphill from there. Dame tried to will them back in it but wasnt getting the calls and ran out of gas I think in the second half. Oh well. At least we stole home court advantage. Game 3 should be exciting.

 

[Natebishop3]

We can expect calls going our way at home.

Oh you sweet summer child.

 

[Serbian]

Kanter should not be in line up he is terrible in this series. Just trash. We need to play little instead. Or jefferson we need some interior defense we got nothing

 

[BonesJones]

How much you want to bet that Terry makes zero adjustments after this game? He will just say that shots weren’t falling. No adjustments needed.

What's sad is I'd be fucking shocked if he did.

 

[Phatguysrule]

Told ya. This guy is useless in playoff basketball. Last year he gave us nothing. The pelican series he was garbage, we need a modern 5 for this team

Yeah, it's gone real well since he fouled out...

 

[B-Roy]

CJ shot 9/12

5 turnovers. Awful fouls. Lost composure

 

[Sheldon Shape]

I wonder if Stotts and Kanter have been sharing a room this whole time...

 

[blazedanugz]

CJ shot 9/12

come on man. He was dreadful in every other aspect of the game

 

[BlazerBeav]

come on man. He was dreadful in every other aspect of the game

Also, 12 attempts is not enough playing a backup backcourt.

 

[MadeFromDust]

I expected Denver to win tonight but I also expected us to play a lot better. So THAT was disappointing.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Well at least they didn’t lose as bad as the heat tonight.

 

[B-Roy]

Our forwards had one total rebound.

 

[DDolla]

Those fouls are killer momentum… could not get a stop

 

[BlazerRx]

Sad that dame had such a special game in a terrible loss

 

[Labinot41]

I'm zero surprised lol, Stotts is a bad coach who get's outcoached every playoffs. And the Blazers have been a lazy terrible defensive team all year year, so it was pretty obvious that they wouldn’t play with the same intensity in the next game

 

[illmatic99]

greg anthony eviscerating our lack our preparation.

glad someone is doing it

 

[Titan]

We had a shot, but they way we closed the 2nd quarter, that gave all the momentum back to Denver. Finishing Q’s strong is the key, we did that in game 1

 

[Darkwebs]

Valiant effort by Dame, but when it's 1 versus 8 on the court, it's tough to win

 

[illmatic99]

0

nada

No adjustments from terry tonight. let denver do what they wanted while he did the same old shit over and over and over again. so tired of this moron at the helm

 

[AldoTrapani]

Who cares he’s gone soon anyways

 

[James lamphear]

Well I seen game like this in the playoffs and the team that's going come with the intensely will win this series bottom line.

 

[Chris Craig]

Blazers will get the next one

 

[TBpup]

Denver with the worst interior defense in the last 25 years....and the Blazers attack the paint hardly at all. There is no shot blocking in there but yet the Blazers were content to jack away from the outside instead of aggressively attacking the basket. This is a game (where if you have the strategy built in) players like Powell and Little could have a field day.

Dame was incredible.....and they still got torched. Pretty disappointing.

 

[EGame]

Valiant effort by Dame, but when it's 1 versus 8 on the court, it's tough to win

1 v 9. dont forget stotts.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Who’s going to game 3?

 

[Strenuus]

Whelp.

Time for Terry to adjust.

I have my doubts. Please prove me wrong, Terrance.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Blazers will get the next one

Chris with what defense?

 

[EGame]

Whelp.

Time for Terry to adjust.

I have my doubts. Please prove me wrong, Terrance.

the only adjusment he will make is figuring out which suit to rock at the rose garden.

 

[TBpup]

^^^^Adjustments....not exactly a Stotts strength.
