What is funny if you read any nugget forum, they will say that the Nuggets are getting hosed by the officials and all calls are going the Blazers way and anyone outside of Portland, according to the nuggets fan, feel that same way. Guess no one is ever happy with the officiating.

Who wants them anyway? They constantly call phantom crap or ignore the obvious. They are supposed to be the best officiating crews and they still call ticky tack calls. The obvious shit Kanter is going through with Nokic is the prime example. When he thrust his elbow into Kanter's shoulder, I went livid.
 
If we can have a good shooting night and still maintain the way we’ve played on defense the last two nights then we’re fine. Both of our series wins have come off bad Dame shooting performances. Let Dame get hot tonight and us still be rolling in a similar fashion? Oh it’s definitely gonna be a war. Every basket made, every possession, every fast break, every momentum shift..all of it counts like hell in a evenly matched slug fest like this. Portland Just has to continue to find ways to win. Both teams have played good enough to win any of the 3 games played but lately in the last two, we have wanted it just a bit more at the end. The team is showing they aren’t just Damian Lillard. There’s definitely team growth that comes with games like the shot against OKC and the 4OT game on Friday. Portland has been the best thing about the 2019 NBA playoffs.

Not to run off on a tangent but is anybody sick of this Doris Burke experience on ESPN. I mean she reminds me of one of my managers that just spouts things that others put time and research into. She does not comment on game plays just the things she wants to say. CJ makes a great play but she can only comment on how Jokic has played 60 plus minutes. She rarely makes a comment on the play except for some lame esoteric story on what a player did last quarter or last game. I just think she’s trying too hard on the NBA slang and try to be pithy. Glad we’re on TNT so no chance on her calling game 4.

I used to like Doris but now I can't stand listening to her at all. I muted the game 3 different times I was so sick of her.
 
I know who Doris is, but where are you guys getting these interviews? I don't see them in post game?

Anybody else starting to believe that these two teams are gonna be doing this for a few years to come?
The passing of the torch.
Bye-Bye Warriors, you had a memorable run but there are Blazers and Nuggets in your rear view.

I'm actually expecting more of a Jazz trajectory for the Nuggets. We'll see though.

Hope not one sucks at what he does.
 
Yes or No? Whoever wins tonight, wins the series?

No.
And I may be on an island here.
Last night was different for her. I actually believe she was told to watch herself 'cos she usually drools over Dame and CJ. I think she over compensated, I really do.
DB is good as anybody imo.
Enjoy Kevin McHale tomorrow.

You are absolutely not alone there.

I like DB but I find all the ESPN commentators to have the problem of having so many notes of things they want to get out that they literally sound like their reading their notes for half the game. When they talk about whats going on its ok, I mean sometimes it feels like they get told hey we want you to build up this player, but my only problem is when its like, oh CJ went to Lehigh and heres the same story weve been telling for 6 years but its in our notes so were gonna get it out.

The thing you have to remember is that ultimately they are commentators for ESPN. They have to report the way ESPN wants them to. Doris Burke does about as well as any that you could ask for.

If we can come away with the W tonight then we successfully have taken care of the job at home and whenever you can do that, it’s huge. Going up 3-1 tonight would mean so much going forward. You can NOT let them back into the series and tie it up 2-2 after all that hard work in game 3.

Finish up business at home tonight.
