lol...now if you were given the importunity for some loving or to watch the game to completion which would you do? Cant do both though.

Just like basketball games, not all lovin is the same, but the best of it is just as good as any rare game. If you are playing at an all star level.

 

[oldmangrouch]

They had a choice who to keep - Nurk or Jokic. They picked the guy who would make Rick Mahorn blush. What does that say about their front office?

 

[tykendo]

So I just got into it with my buddy from Denver on the "Diplomatic Foul Immunity" Jokic is getting from the refs in this series. Will the Blazers send in that video that clearly shows a non NBA move, that IMO, is only done to bring a cheap shot to the affected injured area. That's not in the spirit of competition. I have lost ALL RESPECT for Capt. Blobious.

Modern medicine is awesome isnt it???!!! Hahaha

 

[riverman]

Well those blue pills are supposed to last 4 hours...

 

[tykendo]

Total BS. This is at least a Flagrant 1. A non basketball move.

 

[Shaboid]

Also in Florida. I stayed up for the whole thing and wouldn't change my decision ever.

The victory hangover is real this morning.

 

[tykendo]

I'm sorry, but if this was Hockey, Meyers would be sent in to Be the goon, and bring retribution to the Joker.

 

[tykendo]

Our crowd is so much better than Denver shitty fans

Denver is not a beasketball town, it's a Broncos town. They didn't even sell the damn place out. It's just bandwagoners that bring it close. They did have a nice increase of attendance this year over the usual 10 grand they use to have for any game outside of GS, Chicago, Lakers, and any team LeBron was on. Use to attend the Blazers games when I lived there and there was hardly a soul in the upper deck endzones.

 

[tykendo]

Physical play is one thing, but "cheap" play isn't. The refs are missing calls on both sides, but these cheap plays need to be called. It's makes the game a "joke", no pun intended.

 

[RSC60]

Outstanding effort last night. Too bad we still have the negative nancy's hanging around whining about McCollum as he was huge for us to help keep us in the game.

Who the fuck is hating on Cj ?! Lol if they are what fools he literally saved us once again last night he’s been huuuuuuge this playoffs

 

[James lamphear]

OMG, CJ with the old school cool Blazer jacket!

I got one those jackets.

 

[tykendo]

I got one those jackets.

Can't ever have enough Blazer Merch.

 

[James lamphear]

Enes Kanter is a warrior! He showed such fortitude, and determination. He fought through injury, and pain.

CJ McCollum was a stone cold killer tonight. He was Dame like with his clutchness.

Kudos Will Barton! Best game of his career? I love “Will the Thrill”, but I found myself cursing him multiple times tonight.

Rodney Hood. What can I say? Obviously we don’t get this win without the contributions everyone provided, but his fresh skipping legs gave us the energy, and execution we needed to get over the line. Awesome job Rodney, and great call Stotts to put him in the game.

We are lucky that Harkless cramp up and that's why Hood was in the game so wasn't some brilliant thing that Stotts came up with.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

I asked and I received.

Thank fucking god.

I read on ESPN that Hood might have gone n only because Harkless was cramping.

 

[Dubsfan]

Crazy game last night. Whomever wins this round is gonna be tired though.

 

[Lukee]

Harden will eat tonight

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

CJ:
40 shots. 41 points.
This was BAD CJ tonight.

Yeh, but he made big shots when it counted!

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

I fear the injuries are starting to take their toll on Blazers. It's just tough to beat a team giving them that many second looks and not being able to grab a few offensive rebounds on your own misses.
Kanter is playing his heart out for sure but there is no question he is a shell of what he was before that shoulder injury.

I agree with you; but it was interesting looking at the box score; we had the same number of offensive rebounds as them.

 

[James lamphear]

Yea, we should have got more shots for Aminu and Harkless.

This is playoffs basketball, this would be a Denver blowout without CJ tonight, are you kidding me?!

CJ had a great game last night and Aminu couldn't hit anything last night and Harkless had Double Double so he was involved on both end.

 

[James lamphear]

I read on ESPN that Hood might have gone n only because Harkless was cramping.

This is true and this actually came from Stotts mouth.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Too bad Adam Silver blinked and didn't see it.

 

[Natebishop3]

This is true and this actually came from Stotts mouth.

And it makes no sense because it was so obvious that we needed fresh legs.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

It must have been tough for him sitting through three overtimes.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

I had to apologize to my sister that the game was going into Quadruple Overtime. I dont think she understood.

What's the problem; you're staying down in her basement , aren't you?

 

[bobf]

Not exactly sure where "Playoff Aminu" went but they could have used one of those wide open threes he took to fall last night. Seriously he could have been the hero of that game.

There is probably no such thing as "Playoff Aminu". It's most likely just variance. CJ & Dame have to take a lot of shots because those are our only two creators. But when Aminu does get a shot, people also should be happy, because when he does he is significantly more efficient than CJ.

Here is one of my biggest pet peves
You would think an Epic 4 OT game in the playoffs would be top billing on ESPN. Seriously if this game was GSW vs Houston Rockets they would be all over it.
If you go to the ESPN Home page the top story is about James Harden

Scroll down four stories and you have the Blazers winning the 4 OT game.

Well it got top billing on SC after it was over. Probably has more to do with how late game went, East Coast just don’t care

Not last night he wasn't.
