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

[Wade Garrett]

He's a big fat white dude.
I don't get it.

 

[Natebishop3]

Aminu and Harkless look completely out of their game.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Denver is doing this at high altitude with no rest.

 

[SIeepwalker]

Why do we keep having to beat the refs in addition to our opponents ?

 

[RSC60]

We don’t have enough scoring for this team. These guys are deep and their defense is much better than I thought

 

[wizenheimer]

CJ 12 points on 13 shots....Mo and Aminu only 4 points (Mo has 4 assists though)...Dame and Enes need some help

 

[RSC60]

Aminu is brain dead tonight and our defense is not there tonight.

That’s why I’m not huge on him he’s more of a bonehead than he’s known for

 

[GhostOfPGA]

LOL these refs are blatantly favoring the home teams... not as bad as the Houston vs GS game yesterday but, feels bad man.

 

[BonesJones]

Aminu has been downright awful.

 

[Dougnsalem]

Where the hell is Layman??? We need to run and attack! Oh wait, ken mauer......

 

[RSC60]

LOL these refs are blatantly favoring the home teams... not as bad as the Houston vs GS game yesterday but, feels bad man.

You don’t think it’s because Jokic is eating us alive?

 

[Rhal]

Denver is doing this at high altitude with no rest.

Thats only good reasoning when they don't play in that arena 42 times a year, spend all training camp training in it and live there during the season. If any team is used to the high altitude its Denver.

 

[BonesJones]

Just keep letting Jokic shoot those three's. Dont' give a shit if he is making them he is a 30% this year.

Terrible strategy. Hes good when hot. And right now hes hot.

 

[Chris Craig]

CJ 12 points on 13 shots....Mo and Aminu only 4 points (Mo has 4 assists though)...Dame and Enes need some help

Dame needs to get aggressive...to passive

 

[VenomXL]

This was the book on the Blazers headed into the post season. If they don’t get anything out of Chief and Mo they’re fucked.

 

[Wade Garrett]

Denver is doing this at high altitude with no rest.

I'm thinking it's remotely possible they're used to it, living there and all.

 

[RSC60]

Aminu and Harkless look completely out of their game.

That’s why I hate them

 

[kingslayer]

Geez Ken Mauer got a boner from making that call. Gross.

 

[GhostOfPGA]

You don’t think it’s because Jokic is eating us alive?

With moving screens, push offs, and reach ins on defense?

 

[kingslayer]

NOT.GOOD.

 

[Rhal]

Terrible strategy. Hes good when hot. And right now hes hot.

He isn't a 3 point shooter, he wont stay hot he will eventually start to miss them and thats when you make the run.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Does Jokic get called for anything?

 

[Rhal]

These refs... good god.

 

[LuckyShot]

Fucking sleepwalking. Team doesn't want it right now now.

 

[Natebishop3]

You look at Denver and you see what good drafting looks like. What good free agent acquisitions looks like.

 

[Rhal]

So Jokic pushes Kanter in the back that causes Kanter to move his pivot foot and cause a travel, on the other end he shoves lillard in the back to move him and grab his rebound. Yep refs are fine and don't effect the game at all.

 

[RSC60]

Damn Jokic is to much of a generational talent I didn’t know he was this damn good

 

[SIeepwalker]

Fucking sleepwalking. Team doesn't want it right now now.

Insulting...

 

[LuckyShot]

Does Jokic get called for anything?

Apparently not even when he double arm bars Kanter, which I thought was pretty much automatic.

 

[kingslayer]

Aminu ffs
