Game Thread PLAYOFFS: ROUND 2, GAME 3: NUGGETS @ BLAZERS - MAY 3, 2019 - FRIDAY, 7:30 PM , ESPN

[GhostOfPGA]

I don't know how they can call Murray a point guard. He's basically CJ.

Jokic is the PG

 

[crandc]

OK. Win or tie second half.

Please, can we get some Dame time?

 

[LuckyShot]

Never ever seen a player get away with as much as Jokic does.
Does he even have 1 foul?

He pretty much has only been called for fouls when it's clearly intentional so he can stop a dunk or layup.

 

[Pinwheel1]

I don't like this. If we were on the road I would be very happy with how ugly this game is. But Denver seems to be getting easier shots.

 

[BonesJones]

Why cant we ever blow out a team for the 2nd half? Sigh. Almost did in Game 2 but we let them get within 5.

 

[GhostOfPGA]

seems like Lillard has lost 1/2 steps since the start of this series, he looks gassed

Doubt it, he had a week off. They’re just throwing a lot of length at him.

 

[illmatic99]

1. we need to open up more looks from 3 for Dame.

2. Jokic is getting away with murder on Kanter. fouling him every time.

 

[Chris Craig]

1

He should be fouled out

 

[Jade Falcon]

The seas parted for him that last possession. Inexcusable.

He’s good man. Only his 3rd year too. Him and Jokic have a bright future

Seriously, all fucking night so far. Nobody has stopped this little shit. How about a double-team? Fuck Jokic, he's slow, we can catch up to him. But STOP MURRAY.

And Dame is going to need to do better than 10 points for us to win this. I hope he goes ape shit in the 3rd.

 

[Natebishop3]

Well, we're shooting 36% from the field. Can't really do much worse than that, so maybe we'll heat up in the second half.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

The refs must have gotten a lot of heat for not fouling out Jokic in game 2, so now they just wont call him for anything...

 

[illmatic99]

its the second round of the playoffs. this isn't the east. teams dont get blown out

 

[RSC60]

I don't know how they can call Murray a point guard. He's basically CJ.

Exactly. He’s so good. Pissed he’s getting this experience so deep in the playoffs this early they’ll be headache for years to come

 

[Wade Garrett]

OMG, A PASS UNDER SOMEONE'S LEG. STOP THE DAMN PRESSES!

Nurk does that weekly.

 

[LuckyShot]

Well, we're shooting 36% from the field. Can't really do much worse than that, so maybe we'll heat up in the second half.

And we've gotten a ton of good looks...

 

[Natebishop3]

Can one of you guys put on a Nuggets jersey and go sit near the court and heckle Dame to get him fired up?

 

[Blazinaway]

Well we're playing like ass and still leading.... so it's something.

has there been a well played game yet this series? by either team?

 

[HailBlazers]

Murry is like the next Cj

He's so good, fun to watch

 

[wizenheimer]

CJ is way off tonight.

in this series, coming into this game, he had 36 points on 37 shots; tonight, 9 points on 9 shots. He's hit some crucial shots the last game, but so far, he's been off the first 3 games of the series

 

[James lamphear]

We got only 5 turnovers so that good but gave up 9 offensive rebounds not good.

 

[GhostOfPGA]

I’m most upset about Jokic leaning excessively on Kanter’s shoulder intentionally and not getting a warning foul called on him, that’s almost targeting. That isn’t sportsmanship.

 

[riverman]

defense...this has been a grind out series and these teams are pretty evenly matched up...two good teams that don't like to give up much separation...lot of ties and lead changes

 

[Natebishop3]

First game both teams shot the lights out.

 

[BonesJones]

its the second round of the playoffs. this isn't the east. teams dont get blown out

We didnt in the first round either. We never do in playoffs. Other teams do though.

 

[LuckyShot]

They played well game 1.

 

[Portland2014]

Only good thing about ESPN is Michelle Beadle, she's hot.

 

[RSC60]

You think the refs just don’t like us? I’m wondering the same thing

 

[BonesJones]

Exactly. He’s so good. Pissed he’s getting this experience so deep in the playoffs this early they’ll be headache for years to come

All you do is suck off the other teams players every game. Go to the Nuggets forum then. You'll fit in better.

 

[GhostOfPGA]

Dame only shot 7 times that half. Wow, he’s gonna make a big impact the second half, he’s gonna put up 20+ shots.

 

[Pinwheel1]

The Blazers only got called for 6 fouls. They are letting them play for sure.
