Game Thread PLAYOFFS: ROUND 1, GAME 5: BLAZERS @ NUGGETS - JUNE 1, 2021 - TUESDAY, 6:00, NBATV & NBCSNW

[HailBlazers]

Lol Travis demers just said it's a 2 point game. Lol

He meant to say 3 apparently.

 

[B-Roy]

The NBA is crazy. Also effort is a crazy thing.

 

[Strenuus]

He meant to say 3 apparently.

I know, it was funny cause he said the score and all. I get it, just funny.

 

[James lamphear]

Nice quarter by this 1st unit. We up to 39 percent from the 3.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Come on man this is all we wanted! This denver team is short handed keep playing like the bette team!

 

[DDolla]

We still lose. Nuggets won the 1st quarter.

That’s what I said… it’s the one who wins the first wins the game

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

the two guys who seem to be playing with the most passion are Powell and Roco.

 

[Phatguysrule]

Keep it up guys. Win this, then protect home court.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Don't call it a comeback!

 

[wizenheimer]

what was that shot attempt dame. 23 on the game clock, ugh. this is the kinda shit that just does not fly in the playoffs.

he's scored 18 points on 8 shots and you're bitching about a shot he missed?

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Since Powell is playing as SF, this team still needs an outstanding third guard.

 

[AldoTrapani]

what was that shot attempt dame. 23 on the game clock, ugh. this is the kinda shit that just does not fly in the playoffs.

I actually don’t mind that and I’m hard on Dame

 

[illmatic99]

he's scored 18 points on 8 shots and you're bitching about a shot he missed?

Yes.

CJ also has 7 assists and 5 rebounds today btw.

 

[Strenuus]

Also. Trade cj yesterday. Norman is who we need.

 

[JoshuaHall]

game over. with the way we came out chucking shitty contested threes, was this anything but predictable?

Fuck this garbage team, of course after a great game they come out like trash. Typical Blazers

game over. go home.

Pathetic team

Dame's playing like a female dog

Been a CJ fan and have been quiet about it but hope we trade him for some value

Holy shot CJ is bad

Just an awful effort.

THIS is how Dame shows up for a crucial playoff game? where is the accountability

Hahaha CJ sucks

This is all stotts. Worst coach in history of basketball. Clueless clown. Steal for a living making millions. Disgraceful scum

Fuck CJ

CJ is so bad.

can we forefit? just end this series tonight. pathetic team. pathetic effort

That's the season. See you all next year

Relax, losing may actually be the best thing to happen to this team right now. The sad reality is this core is not winning anything. Changes are needed.

I’m about to turn this shit off. Just absolutely pathetic focus and effort.

Honestly guys this might be a good thing. We need major changes

I mean... just no fucking pride.

bench Dame please. he's trash

who is rooting for losses? try not to get your undies in a bunch.

Anyone inclined to root for losses think it would be for the greater good. As in, this core is not a serious contender so why continue to waste time and Dame's prime? New coach + trade CJ.

made it easy for ya, Illmatic.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

CJ with 7 assists and 1 turnover. He's trying, Jennifer!

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Also. Trade cj yesterday. Norman is who we need.

CJ 11 points, 7 assists, 5 rebounds, 1 block, 1 turnover, 50% from the field.

 

[Strenuus]

CJ 11 points, 7 assists, 5 rebounds, 1 block, 1 turnover, 50% from the field.

Yep. He still needs to go. I dont look at one half of one game.

 

[illmatic99]

made it easy for ya, Illmatic.

Welcome to a playoff game thread while the team is down 20.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Yep. He still needs to go. I dont look at one half of one game.

Then why'd you just bring it up now? And if you've said it before, why repeat it?

 

[SlyPokerDog]

 

[JoshuaHall]

Yep. He still needs to go. I dont look at one half of one game.

I still wish we bailed on Stotts before we bailed on CJ. Probably gonna bail on both at the same time.

would be curious to see how the dame / CJ backcourt would’ve faired with a SHRED of accountability.

 

[Strenuus]

made it easy for ya, Illmatic.

Why does me saying show some fucking pride mean I want them to lose?

If you're gonna say people are rooting for losses... show them actually saying it instead of trying to fit your narrative. You're not fox news. Stop trying to be.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Welcome to a playoff game thread while the team is down 20.

People were trying to say that big leads vanish in today's NBA but no one would listen.

 

[MadeFromDust]

made it easy for ya, Illmatic.

I've been on the trade CJ train for almost 4 years now and will gladly stand by it win or lose tonight. Having a redundant backcourt tandem that doesn't play defense is not a recipe for success in the playoffs.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

I still wish we bailed on Stotts before we bailed on CJ. Probably gonna bail on both at the same time.

would be curious to see how the dame / CJ backcourt would’ve faired with a SHRED of accountability.

Jason Quick said in his article today that Stotts is very critical of Dame and that Dame wants to be criticized like anyone else.

 

[Strenuus]

Then why'd you just bring it up now? And if you've said it before, why repeat it?

Because it's true? It's been proven for years, so one half of one game doesn't mean it's changed.

It's okay, Eric. It'll be fine, I promise!

 

[JoshuaHall]

Welcome to a playoff game thread while the team is down 20.

which is actually why I said people are whiny babies. And probably not emotionally mature at all.

you don’t have to meltdown based on the first quarter of basketball

 

[DDolla]

3 fouls on Denver already

 

[AldoTrapani]

Fuck ya 3 team fouls on denver already.. take advantage
