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

[wizenheimer]

Teams that have this much time off waiting for other teams rarely come out hot.

nice call...both teams over 66% shooting

what's missing so far is defense

 

[Lukee]

Both teams can't do anything on defensive end. PnR series, as I said.

 

[Chris Craig]

KANTER > JOKIC

Fuck yeah

 

[crandc]

Keep it close until Dame time.

 

[DollaBel]

Where is Lillard in the game?

Feeling out the game and seeing what the Nuggets want to do/dont want us to do etc. He always does this, how often does Dame come out blazing from the gate?

 

[KingSpeed]

Where is Lillard in the game?

4 assists.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Hopefully what Stotts said about Adjustments not mattering was just smoke because I think it might be time to make some on defense and were only in the 1st quarter of game one...

 

[Dougnsalem]

I have a sneaky suspicion that Kanter is not as hurt as he's making it seem. Gamesmanship.

THIS! We've been kinda wondering about that....

 

[rotary111]

It's only the first quarter. Why is anyone worried after what we witnessed in the first round?

 

[Labinot41]

Never question dame.

I know, just asking

 

[BBert]

I am home. Any update?

Blazers won

 

[Labinot41]

DAME THERE WE FUCKING GO !!

 

[Labinot41]

Boy our d is terrible.

 

[BonesJones]

Finally, some good defense.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Jokic finally missed!

 

[BonesJones]

We cant afford a lineup with Dame or CJ right now. Who wants to bet we start the 2nd without either and give up a big run?

 

[crandc]

Miscommunication. Someone was supposed to be under the basket.

 

[VenomXL]

Even first quarter. Good answer from the road team.

 

[Labinot41]

Now watch out for Evan turnover

 

[DDolla]

Is that Denver’s first punch?

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

We cant afford a lineup with Dame or CJ right now. Who wants to bet we start the 2nd without either and give up a big run?

I hope they learned from the regular season where the platooned 2's didn't work, or the 1st round where it mostly didn't work. Let's not keep doing that...

 

[RipCityDSCPL]

Blazers won

They did? Then what the hell am I watching?

 

[Rhal]

Barton had the ball and took a step before they started the clock and it almost went in. Same thing happened last series by ferguson in a game.

 

[Chris Craig]

Good 1st quarter...I swear to God if Turner comes in and we go down 10...

 

[Cugel]

Good first quarter in high altitude and second round jitters. CJ, Enes are unstoppable, Dame is dishing out dimes and hitting 3s.

 

[kingslayer]

I shudder at the thought of an ET-led lineup to start the 2nd...

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Hood made a really good defensive adjustment on our last (second to last) defensive possession. Stopped Jokic from being able to take a wide open three.

 

[Jade Falcon]

I feel okay about this.

 

[crandc]

Pulled a bunch of stitches off knitting needles.

 

[SIeepwalker]

Now watch out for Evan turnover

uuugggh I had somehow forgotten about that
