I have a question for @dviss1 and others:
When is it OK to put 2 hands on another player?
When is it OK to put 2 hands on another player AND extend your arms in a push?
In my mind, it's never OK, but I want a ref's viewpoint.

Surely, the Jokic shovinging Kanter with 2 hands extended is a foul in that video.

Should been a foul on Jokic for his 6th foul. But hell the referees was missing fouls left and right last night. Actually that was close to fragrant 1.

I AM ONLY ADDRESSING THE FACT THAT THE TIMEOUT OCCURRED BEFORE ANYONE ON THE BLAZERS LEFT THE BENCH.

I wasn't talking about the time-out. I was talking about your repeated claim you didn't see Murray involved when he's clearly in the video you posted

I don't want any player suspended. I want Portland to beat Denver when the Nuggets are at full-strength while the Blazers are playing without Nurkic. I don't want the Nuggets and their fans to have any excuses

I'm actually interested in just your first question. I feel like I've seen Jokic using both arms/hands to push people (mostly Kanter) in the post constantly, and I thought that using a 2nd hand was supposed to be an automatic foul.

I never once said he wasn’t involved.

I am fine with no suspensions, but wanting to play teams at full strengths so there aren't any excuses.......that is fine but its not like there will be an asterisk by our victory if we win the series. The vast majority of fans will forget in 30 days.

I want Murray to play because he is banged up and I would prefer he play hurt rather than someone else coming in off the bench and having a career game. (i.e I. Thomas)

Also, there was a play in the 1st half where Jokic has the ball and slaps away Kanter's arm 3 fucking times and no call from the ref. That's supposed to be an automatic foul.

he did that in game one and then turned into Kanter and they called the foul on Kanter. Jokic is getting officiated like a joke, especially comparing him to Zach Collins who gets zero benefit of the doubt even tho he’s actually much better defensively

I’m telling you Evan Turner is the most privileged Blazer of all time. Stotts LOOOOOOVES Turner

Do you have to say "I'm telling you" before 90% of your posts? That shit is annoying.

I know nobody will say this but Lillard has been atrocious

I believe you told us all to put you in your place if you ever questioned Dame again. So please take what you told us to tell you and STFU.



And BTW, we know you have a hard on for Malik Beasley but we don't need 5 posts talking about it. You did the same shit for Schroder in the first round.
 
Last game was a game for lovers of defense...we played awesome team defense which took some energy from the offensive end but I don't remember seeing us keep the defense on a string for 4 quarters in a long, long time...I loved it! Nugs were already tired and we keep this up, they'll get more burned out ...Go Blazers!

He started the 2nd half last night. Played 6 minutes and didn't show that he deserved any more minutes. As soon as he was in they just attacked him in the pick and roll and he can't get over a screen so his guy is always free with Jake running behind. As soon as Jake went out they stopped the pick and roll. Other teams have figured out he is not a good defender, doesn't have a reliable shot. I am not sure why Blazer fans continue to want him to play . Personally I would rather see one of the rookies get the minutes at least they can hit a wide open 3 pointer.

Bring on Skal. And on the other side of your Jake disappointment, RodHood is playing like its the NCAA tournament.

Their crowd has been pathetic. First time they've advanced in the playoffs in a decade with a transcendent star and they can't even show up for a playoff game. I expect Moda to completely intimidate their players in Games 3 and 4. Imagine if they had a similar crowd to go with their altitude.

Portland. Portland has hunger to win the series. Our fans are in mass civil anarchy compared to the lame asses in Pepsi Center, Denver.,Co.
 
I have a confession to make...anyone notice against OKC whoever gets the ball first on the tip off loses the game. This second round is the opposite, whoever gets the ball first wins the game. I know it’s just coincidence but something to think about.

It supposed to be but refereeing in these playoffs been pretty shoddy not just our games but overall.

I said that the first series and I noticed the 2nd series too.

I don't watch Nuggets games so I never had a hatred for Jokic as some people do. With this series, I'm on the "fuck Jokic" bandwagon. Man, I wished Nurk was fully healthy. DAMMIT.

Huh. I'm not there. I got no ill will towards him (yet). He's playing a little cheap (head flop off Kanter's shoulder) and dirty (pushing Kanter off the free throw block), but nothing too awful. It's the Playoffs - I expect a little bit of that.

I think he's been massively overrated by the national media. And I think the refs are going out of their way not to foul him out. But neither of those things are his fault - and really, kudos to him for getting to this point with the media/refs.

That said, there's still plenty of time for my opinion of him to deteriorate. But right now he just seems like a big, bumbling kid out there.

I agree with you. I'm not very impressed with him.
