I just had a socially distant dinner with Dwight Jaynes, lol. Socially distant is the best way to have dinner with him.

I hope this doesn't turn out like the Lakers series last year in the bubble. A promising game 1 and then a backdoor sweep.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Regardless this Blazers team isn’t beating the Lakers next series anyways is the silver lining

 

[illmatic99]

There’s certain matchups where Kanter will work - unfortunately Denver is not one of them. Having Kanter defend Jokic, and really any of Denver’s bigs, is not gonna fly. Malone has obviously made it a priority for everyone to attack Kanter for every second he’s on the court.

every single team does this

 

[Titan]

well, they showed up in the first half enough to shoot 20 fucking times

It’s nice that those two always have a future in building brick houses.

 

[BonesJones]

I want Terry fired the second he tells Enes to go to the scorer's table next half.

We are not beating the Lakers next series anyways

[TBpup]

He has told the media that he has his 8 man rotation and by god, he is sticking with it!

Departing from that would take an in-game adjustment.

Not exactly a Stotts strength.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Wow Jokic is unfair

You can almost see the dollar signs in the players eyes once Kanter steps up the court

 

[AldoTrapani]

Man Denver is well run machine

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Powell is fired up tonight!

 

[TBpup]

That was a crap shot by CJ. SMH....

 

[Haakzilla]

Fuck you MeJ!

 

[TBpup]

More Powell....less CJ.

 

[Cugel]

Terry at half time: "Dribble and shoot 3s"

 

[VenomXL]

So.many.threes.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Jesus Christ Jokic is not fair

 

[VenomXL]

We’ve shot two airball threes so far this quarter. Not great.

 

[JoshuaHall]

Man Denver is well run machine

We don’t play defense bro.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

I think that Joe-ick guy is going to be good.

 

[Titan]

More nug threes, smh

 

[TBpup]

WTH was that Norman?

 

[AldoTrapani]

Man other than game 1 this series hasn’t been close

 

[VenomXL]

So much for hoping they’d cool off.

 

[DDolla]

Game Over… just can’t stop Denver

 

[TBpup]

More drives like that. The Nugs have the worst interior defense in the last 25 years.

Figure it out.

 

[Titan]

I really think nuggets should just shoot threes the rest of the night

 

[AldoTrapani]

Fuck this series guys the next round is Lakers anyways
