Anybody know where I might be able to score a respectable deal on a pair of tickets for tomorrow's game?

I NEED to get in the building again for this game!

Nevermind, Ladies and Gents, Sec. 114 it is for tomorrow! Trying to recover my voice, as we "speak"... detox tea, cannabis coconut oil, and local wild honey to the rescue.

:breakdance:

The future is bright with Dame, CJ, Simons, Collins, Harkless and Nurk. We can lock them up for a few more years. But we need Neil to come up big this summer. (Kanter and Hood or someone of equal talent) Plus we need an upgrade at starting PF and it has to come cheap. Someone who has been overlooked that comes out of no where...since we can't afford anyone else.

If they don't sign Aminu I think Zach will be the power forward next year and slide over to center for small ball.

That would be the easiest option assuming he continues to improve....and I think he will. I am liking Harkless right now and I think he can get minutes at both forwards spots, but I don't think we can re-sign Hood. He bet on himself last summer hoping to get a pay day this summer. We can sign Kanter or Hood but not likely both. So we will need another very good scorer at either SF or PF.

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.

Nuggets keep saying we're a lucky blessed franchise. I told them about Roy and Oden and I got banned. And by banned, I mean I can't even look at the site at all. Jesus.

Overall the officiating been bad in all series. But when somebody did what Jokic did to Kanter at the free throw line right in front of the base line official then I have problem with that. Official going miss some calls I understand that but what there allowing Jokic to do some of that board line dirty crap right there in front of official then the league needs start suspending official and take money out of there pockets. Because this league won't hesitate throw a fine at the player if they complain about the officials.

Fuck the officials. They should suspend Jokic.
 
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.

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.

Doris is my favorite TV analyst. She truly knows the whole league, not just that stars. When no one is talking about us during regular season, she is always paying close attention.

I have looked at Zach and Aminu playoffs and regular stats per 36 and advanced stats and both are pretty close to each. Zach better in some and better in others but real close. Now Zach a lot younger then Aminu. I am not saying not sign Aminu but I think Zach can improve in some areas and get stronger I might have lean Zach starting at PF next year.

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.

But a lot of people only watch big playoff games so most of those people have no idea who CJ is. That has changed now.

I suppose thats fair but as someone who watches a lot of basketball in general it gets really old lol.

I think it's standard at all levels. While Georges Niang played at Iowa State anytime Fran Fraschilla announced our games, probably 7-8 times a year, for four straight years, he never failed to say Niang was high school teammates with Nerlens Noel and that's why he had to become such a crafty player. It became a running joke that he would say it. You were right in your previous post that they have a script.

Meanwhile we let Tunchi hang around every time he makes a new account. Smh.

Wow, cool... maybe with his next "nugget" of info, Numb-Nuts can give us an update on whether or not they tried the veal and/or forgot to tip the waitress?

That Tweet seemed like a subtle brag. "Im hanging with national writers now (theyre laughing at Steph)."

I'm sure he'll come in here to tell me how I'm wrong and how I'm wasting an opportunity by not being nice to him and he's looking out for my best interest (yet wouldnt follow me back on Twitter or ever talk to me except when he would go out of his way to defend himself against a joke or to call me out).

Let the last sentence bear proof later in this thread.
 
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.
