Game Thread PLAYOFFS: ROUND 2, GAME 1: BLAZERS @ NUGGETS - APRIL 29, 2019 - MONDAY, 7:30 PM, TNT

[Natebishop3]

We need a power forward...... and we have needed a power forward since LMA left.

What the fuck Neil?

 

[twobullz]

What the hell has happened to Curry. He has not been aggressive at all in the play offs.

 

[H.C.]

Be nice if Portland stopped dropping passes. Has happened too often this year especially late in the season.

Nards needs to roll when he sets a screen for Lillard or cj.
Ignore what Turner said to him.
Nards was killing me by just setting q screen and standing

 

[James lamphear]

We was sloppy at the end of the half. Melsap owning Aminu. We have get off picks and this is not the same defense we play against OKC.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Aminu was open. Lillard needs to stop with the sloppy passes

If Aminu was open on the three, then Harkless should have slashed to the basket. Somebody should have; there was a lot of room there.

 

[Rhal]

Aminu was open. Lillard needs to stop with the sloppy passes

Aminu was open when Lillard drove, Lillard didn't have an angle when he was almost trapped up top the first 5s of the drive.

 

[PCmor7]

Turned it over too much, stopped moving without the ball in the last 90 seconds of the half.

On the positive side, I like the pace. I think one of the keys to this series will be fatiguing Jokic. The Nuggets were so reliant on him in the previous series. If we can tire him and make these games come down the last six minutes, I like our chances a lot more.

 

[twobullz]

So Portland has fouled Denver 8 to Denver 7 fouls, but they have 10 more Free throws in the first half. Dang, between that and turnovers, that is all that is keeping Denver in the game.

 

[GhostOfPGA]

Turner got some nice rebounds but I’m still baffled as to why he plays over Layman.

 

[crandc]

Mauer fucked us on the CJ shot. Should have been continuation...Mauer is a piece of cantankerous shit.

Blazers need to stop being sloppy

Then called phantom foul on CJ

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Anyone else look at the Boxscore and think so... Moe hasnt even shot the ball yet...

He had a dunk heading down the lane until he fumbled that pass from Dame.

 

[Strenuus]

Turner got some nice rebounds but I’m still baffled as to why he plays over Layman.

70 million reasons.

 

[Rhal]

We need a power forward...... and we have needed a power forward since LMA left.

What the fuck Neil?

I'm all for trying to pry Love away from Cleveland for cheap. 1st round pick, salary relief for his bloated ass contract?

 

[Jon]

It would be nice if everyone took care of the ball...

 

[Portland2014]

Turner has the power to kill Curry's rythim, we need to bench him for the rest of the series.

Give Curry the ball and bring Layman in instead of Turner.

 

[Chris Craig]

13 Denver FT to 3 Blazer FT WTF?!?

 

[Jade Falcon]

TNT has so many stupid ass shows on, holy shit. Who watches this garbage?

 

[Dougnsalem]

13 Denver FT to 3 Blazer FT WTF?!?

Fuck. ken. mauer.

 

[JDC]

Bad end of the whistle and a couple stretches of awful decision making.

Considering that, not in a bad spot.

Seemed like Denver made a lot contested floater range shots. Both teams only had brief stretches of active defense.

Feel good about our chances to steal this one.

 

[Rhal]

Were down 3 with a 10 FT disparity, we need to clean up the horrible passes and keep being aggressive. We got this!

 

[KingSpeed]

I'm all for trying to pry Love away from Cleveland for cheap. 1st round pick, salary relief for his bloated ass contract?

I'm in favor of getting Love too as long as keep Dame/CJ/Nurk.

 

[Chris Craig]

 

[James lamphear]

Between Harkless and Aminu 2 points between them. Aminu does have 6 rebounds but Harkless O across the board both these players have to get going on both ends. Only from the 2nd unit was Hood and Zach. Zach made some good defense play and score 4 while Hood score 8.

 

[VenomXL]

I think this Mountain Dew ad is slowly driving me insane.

 

[KingSpeed]

I think this Mountain Dew ad is slowly driving me insane.

The second guy with the big hair is from Oregon.

 

[Natebishop3]

I really think someone needs to get Harkless some stickum.

Lmao. BUT IT'S FRICKEN TRUE! He's the veteran, and the others are going to defer to his shitty no calls.....

 

[VenomXL]

These fucking refs.

 

[crandc]

Another phantom foul
