Game Thread PLAYOFFS: ROUND 1, GAME 5: THUNDER @ BLAZERS - APRIL 23, 2019, TUESDAY, 7:30 PM, TNT & NBCSNW

[Lukee]

Don't want to sound corny, but this is a movie scenario. -13, Nurk coming to the bench and most ridiculous game winner of all time. BLAZERS WIN!

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Loved that line from the PBP guy: "That ice water they dumped on Dame--I think they pulled it straight from his veins."

Awesome

[joeBlazers]

Should have kept Melo ... lol

What really sucks for the Thunder is not only losing but in the end, they have to go back to OKC

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Stotts Nurk +11!

 

[DDolla]

Please correct me if I’m wrong, did we just made that late run when Nurk showed up?

 

[EGame]

lol cj kinda waved goodbye to them too once he saw dame do it. Fuck westbrick. I love when he shoots

 

[42N8Bounce]

I loved Dames wave ‘good bye’ after his game winning shot. They replayed it over and over on the big screen at the arena.

Awesome!!!!!!!

 

[crandc]

A's clobbered Texas. Sharks won playoff series game 7 in OT, not a big hockey fan but some friends are. Stotts talking Nurk on TV

 

[riverman]

I'd say a ton of marquis free agents who want to change teams will now consider Portland a destination market...in the end, we have a classy team and staff...hard working culture and top to bottom guys you can really, really cheer for

 

[Natebishop3]

Nurkic was at home till the 3rd. He decided to come to the game. He got there just in time.

"Fuck it"

That's so huge man. SO fucking huge.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Damn.

Blazers brutalize OKC. I mean, that’s some redemption on last year’s playoffs. I had OKC in seven and happy to eat some crow. Most pundits had OKC in 6 or 7. This beat down is a reversal of last year.

Just gotta find capspace. Right now we have a lot invested in Dame and CJ (deservedly so) and Turner and Leonard (throwup). But I actually think I agree with you. I think this game woke up players eyes to Dame and how great he is.

terry is enjoying this

Yes

Game. Blouses.

"was it cause dame was so hot that the rest of the team couldnt get in the flow?"

any angle huh. fuck sake.

[Paine Tablet]

HAHAHAHAHAHAH

Who gives a fuck what kind of shitty meme Jemele Hill can come up with? I mean, this level of sophistication is put forward by thousands of 8th graders every day on twitter. It's not like this is clever.

 

[Pinwheel1]

Dame and Cj both scored time and time again against a much taller all NBA defensive player in Paul George. Can we stop with using height as an issue for these guys?

 

[bradk8605]

Stotts needs to not play Turner unless we are way ahead. He came in at beginning of 4th quarter with score OKC 90, PORT 88, then 4 minutes later when he went out: OKC 102, PORT 90

 

[crandc]

Stotts mimicking Westbrick.

 

[DUB]

Dame is a basketball god.
Kanter had a very solid game whilst battling through injury - 13 pts @ 66.7%, 13 reb (6 oreb), 4 ast
Despite his horrific free throw shooting early, Harkless came through in the end, and sunk some clutch free throws - 17 pts @ 66.7% (50% ft%), 7 reb
Despite his horrific shooting early, CJ made some clutch baskets in the fourth to keep us in it - 17 pts @ 42.1%, 2 reb, 2 ast, 2 blk

 

[craigehlo]

Damn LeBron, stop tamperin'

 

[BigGameDamian]

We need the Spurs to beat the Nuggets.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Jokic worries me.

 

[Titan]

Fuckin' Donovan blaming the refs. You can't make this shit up

Fuck him, he can’t win a series playing 8 vs 5

 

[TBpup]

We need the Spurs to beat the Nuggets.

Spurs got crushed.
