[RonBrewer]

CHALLENGE THAT SHIT

 

[crandc]

Dame gets pounded bur they call that a foul? Fuck

 

[tester551]

Aaron Gordon just isn't very good -- dodged a bullet there!

Agreed. Completely overrated

 

[DDolla]

See how important are FTs even we don’t make our 3s

 

[BigGameDamian]

Nice first half!

 

[ehizzy3]

Is that one of dames shaq disses that tnt was playing going into halftime

 

[Chris Craig]

Good half

 

[riverman]

Great start....now keep the foot on the gas....get some serious seperation!

 

[James lamphear]

That count for Jokic and Dame’s shot is a 3 not a 2[/QUOT

I thought his foot was on the line.

 

[Serbian]

Total of 5 points from the bench. Melo. Might as well play starters 45 minutes this is ridiculous. I want to see nasir little play but stotts the idiot doesn’t give him an inch

 

[Chris Craig]

Rivers just fell into him

I hate when players pretend they are hurt to sell a call. A disgrace to the game

 

[James lamphear]

13 assist and 24 points in the paint.

 

[MickZagger]

I understand being a ref in basketball is hard. Made even harder by guys trying to sell stuff and flop. But I feel a lot of refs make calls based on anticipation rather than reacting to what actually happens.

 

[Dom McBlazer]

Ernie Johnson with that speed! I see ya!!

 

[Chris Craig]

CHALLENGE THAT SHIT

No. We needed to save the challenge. We wouldn't have won that call anyway

 

[Chris Craig]

Total of 5 points from the bench. Melo. Might as well play starters 45 minutes this is ridiculous. I want to see nasir little play but stotts the idiot doesn’t give him an inch

Yeah a 17-5 bench advantage for Denver is not good at all

Only 2 turnovers for Portland though...that's good

 

[Titan]

Olshey: "CJ is our back up PG."

NO HE IS NOT.

You’ve convince me, now just convince Stotts.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

First play of the game we set up screens so Powell can drive to the basket; so @Hoopsguru is right, we do have that in our playbook. Of course we never run it again.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Okay that was a sweet shot by CJ.

Exactly. If you don't see it, don't call it. Don't just assume there was contact.

 

[DDolla]

Let’s go Norm

 

[MickZagger]

Rivers is like look guys. See I have a boo boo

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Rivers limps to sideline opposite bench during FT. Fan says something to him. Rivers gets pissed, turns to CJ, CJ laughs, Rivers stomp limps away.

 

[Duckhook]

Austin River’s hemorrhoids are bleeding.

 

[DDolla]

Norm attacks it’s either a bucket or a foul

 

[RonBrewer]

Norman Powell is such a beast. I have a man crush on him today(No homo)

 

[riverman]

COOKIN!!!!

 

[James lamphear]

Taking the ball to the hoop and converting or going to the free throw line.

 

[MadeFromDust]

Now this is what I'm talkin about
