In your opinion, was Lillard's performance in Game 5 the best ever in an NBA Playoff game?

It's not his leg. He's out of shape. If he survives the offseason he needs to get in the best shape of his life.

Ever played with a rod in your leg. Yes he could be Better shape but lateral movement he don't have anymore.

Im not defending Stotts. I don’t mind a coaching change or much better a GM change. Stating a fact. Stotts didn’t foul two 3 point shooters did he. No.

I’m sorry to break this to you, but those two plays aren’t what caused Portland to lose this series.
 
Portland had a 93-79 lead. After that they were outscored 47-22...and 28-14 in the 4th Q

what a surprise...the team that lives and plays half their games at elevation was less affected by a double OT game at elevation

Road the coattails of one the greatest PG's of this generation and managed to underachieve. Make no mistake, that's why he has so many wins.

Oh I know 100% which is why I'm happy he won't get it. Dame can win a championship without stotts easy while still being in portland. Im excited for that.

Oh, this is no doubt not a smart team, but someone has to be able to impress upon the players after winning Game 1 not to phone in Game 2, that we can put the Nuggets effectively away before we play a game in Portland.

That this series got to Game 6 was a travesty. That the Blazers lost in six would make the Blazers a national sports talk laughingstock if we were in just about any other media market.
 
I was wrong about Jokic...he is a TRUE #1.

Must be nice to have one of those........... Good job Denver, gonna be rooting for you.

There were many more bad decisions than those two plays this game and yes they cost us this game.

last game Nurk got sloppy with fouls in the 3rd, we fouled jump shooters and yes that cost us that game. 4-2 us with those two games.

What I mean by that is moves can be made after a team loses.

When NFL teams are done with a season, they call it black Monday. Lol. They fire coaches every year the day after their season is over.

Black Monday's the day after the Super Bowl. That's when the coaches all get fired.
 
If you could only have 1 this off season, what would you choose?
- Fire Stotts
- Trade CJ (for anything)
- Fire Olshey

Where’s Olshey, that punk usually comes out of hiding at the end of the season. I dare him to say anything other than we’re looking for a new coach.

"We believe in our guys, we believe in this team and we'll be back next year"
 
Who was the person who said before game 1 that we were gonna sweep Denver and they had no chance and called everyone dumb who believed Denver could hang with us? Lmao.

Stotts not challenging the jokic foul changed everything and the team went fucking cold.

In my defense:

  1. Overturning 3 free points and a foul on my most critical player < vague hope of a challenge working out in “crunch time”
  2. I thought giving Nurkic his third foul would really boost his confidence.
  3. I just smoked a fat blunt right before the game because I knew I was gettin fired tonight.

You guys are massively overating Nurkic. I wont be sad if he's not on the team next year.

He's very replaceable.

Truthfully, he's just like this team in microcosm. You get one great game out of every four. We see what he's capable of and we fall in love with the potential. But he doesn't bring it every night. And he doesn't play intelligently enough.
 
Thank you Damian Lillard for everything you gave to us in this series. You flat out played your ass off and single handedly would have won at least game 5 had you have any teammates whatsoever. Speaking of fuck everybody else on this team especially CJ and Stotts. I'll be so happy to never see you in a Blazer uniform again. But thank you again Dame, you mean so much to this franchise.

why should I?

you said you saw no way Portland was going to lose this game so it's pretty fucking obvious your vision isn't that good

Campazzo and Austin Rivers are not better than this current roster that is is neutered who you admit is fucking stupid. But you can't seem to drop your narrative for even a second that Olshey is at fault. WTF did Olshey do? He isn't the one that gave Denver all their momentum while up 14 tonight
