Game Thread PLAYOFFS: ROUND 2, GAME 4: NUGGETS @ BLAZERS - MAY 5, 2019 - SUNDAY, 4:00 PM, TNT

[riverman]

Get the next one! Go Blazers! We can beat these guys in Denver!

 

[LayneStaley]

We either win game 5 or it’s going 7 but no fucking way we lose the series in 6 at home.

 

[Lukee]

I wanna see Meyers in. At least he's athletic and can get rebound. Zach is solid, better defender, but rebounds are fucking us over.

 

[Shaboid]

Warriors went 16-1 one postseason so I call BS.

That's definitely an outlier.

 

[Serbian]

Dame has been awful from FT since last 4 games of regular season. He continued to carry it through play offs. My only answer is he started working much more on shooting 3s then FT, because this is not a choke job i have watched every blazers game this season and i know very well when he started shooting bricks at FT line happen way earlier than play offs began

 

[Jade Falcon]

I don't want to lose to a team called the Nuggets. Please, God, spare me the misery. There's not a dumber name in all the NBA.

 

[Strenuus]

BLAZERS SHOWED WE CAN WIN IN DINVER FOLKS. THIS SERIES ISN'T OVER. JUST EVENLY MATCHED.

Shit... Where the he'll is dinver?

True

 

[Natebishop3]

This series is so close that I really don't know what's going to happen.

 

[Chris Craig]

Game 5 is a must. Very disappointed, that Kanter Offensive foul that took 2 away was horrific. Dames 3 missed FTs were pretty critical in the end too.

Those FT's and Collins tech cost us the game

 

[BonesJones]

Yay, depression!

 

[GhostOfPGA]

This series is so close that I really don't know what's going to happen.

My heart, gut, and head say Dame is gonna flamethrow game 5, and we will see the most complete Blazer performance of the season game 6.

Thatd what people have said about the last 3 games.

It’s due.

 

[Dutchman063]

Yes. He choked this game away. He has been crap this series

I think all that national attention after hitting the game winner against OKC went to his head and he never came back to earth

 

[Chris Craig]

He hasn't been the same since. I think it's the pressure of going deeper into the playoffs. He has never been this close to the WCF

 

[MarAzul]

Beaten on the boards and short on assists.

 

[Chris Craig]

Curry 4 threes in the first half...Stotts doesnt make plays for him to get the ball in the 2nd half

 

[DDolla]

Next game, Dame need to be nuclear in the first quarter and don’t stop till the 4th quarter.

 

[BonesJones]

I'm so damn depressed right now.

 

[joeBlazers]

How many points for ET tonight?

 

[GhostOfPGA]

Lol I’m very happy our players aren’t like a lot of y’all. Giving up so easily, JUST GOTTA WIN TWO MORE GAMES. We are FULLY capable of that.

 

[illmatic99]

How many points for ET tonight?

wide open 8 footer and he bricks it, i dunno whats going on w him

 

[BonesJones]

This team is pretty much the only light in my life right now. Not ready for it to get extinguished. I need this stress-relief and it's turning into a stressful escape... Ugh.

 

[Chris Craig]

How many points for ET tonight?

-10

 

[Drttimmy]

Disappointing loss, but just to step aside for a moment...everything to come is basically gravy imo. With Nurk out - who would be causing huge issues for Denver by the way - his back up hobbled, the Blazers have really grown up and are playing the best ball in their time together. We've never seen them defend this well, CJ has never stepped up as consistently as he has this playoff run, the role players aren't buckling. They're just confident and it's a joy to watch. I was skeptical they could do it and skeptical this core could truly challenge for a title. They've converted me. We may go on to lose the series, but it's only because Denver is growing up as well. If they win, Portland will have made them earn it. I think this is the best playoff series I've seen since the Cavs beat the Warriors for the title. Just high quality basketball, something I wasn't sure the NBA was capable of anymore.

No shit, players aren't fans. Players have a differently mentality that fans... Thanks captain obvious.

If I was playing on the team my mindset would be 100% different as well.
