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

[BonesJones]

For sure. Not shitting on him. I might not be as big of a ZCo defender as you, but I'm in his corner. Gonzaga is my college team. I went to camp up there more than once. Just calling it as I see it.

I find it funny how people dont think he was a solid backup this year. Just look at his stats, theyre solid, and hes only 21. I dont think he's a future all-star or anything but he'll be at least one of the top 5 bigs off the bench in the league IMO (which is important, and not terrible value for the 10th pick).

 

[JDC]

Zach had a couple good plays though.

ET had a couple nice defensive possessions vs Millsap as well.

Everybody is contributing in some way.

 

[H.C.]

hopefully ET will not play 2nd half.

I think he'll get in. He's the only other player who can do an okay job on sap. Aminu can't go 24minutes in the 2nd half.
23:59?

 

[Wade Garrett]

We can say that, but the Nuggets are still a pretty damn good team. Unless it's a collapse or UGLY shooting quarter, you just don't blow teams like them out. We're gonna miss shots and they're gonna make some. It's natural. As long as we make a few more plays than we do, we're good.

THIS....
This is late round playoff basketball. Like our team, we fans have to be tough also.
Haven't been here in a while..are WE tough enough?

 

[joeBlazers]

Seth has more shots than CJ? The earth is coming to an end folks!!!

 

[Natebishop3]

Woah.

Dude.... you have been hanging out with Kingspeed too much.

 

[Shaboid]

Props to Olshey for putting this team together.

Props to Dame for leading this team is more accurate. Not trying to argue with you, that's just my perspective.

 

[DDolla]

We need to push that pedal in the third, I can’t take anymore close games please.

 

[joeBlazers]

Great balance in the team today. If we can just play better Defense ...

 

[JDC]

Props to Dame for leading this team is more accurate. Not trying to argue with you, that's just my perspective.

Like with most things, it's a little bit of both.

 

[James lamphear]

When a player contest a shot like Zach does it the other players responsible to clean up the boards and something we haven't been good at in this series.

 

[Shaboid]

I find it funny how people dont think he was a solid backup this year. Just look at his stats, theyre soslid, and hes only 21. I dont think he's a future all-star or anything but he'll be at least one of the top 5 bigs off the bench in the league IMO (which is important, and not terrible value for the 10th pick).

Still too early to tell imo, but I definitely think it's possible. Just said he and obviously Turner didn't play as good as everyone else in the first half. The first half is all I was speaking about.

 

[DameLill379]

Like I said pre-game, if the shots are falling and the defense is like it was Wednesday...we’re off to the races. Really need a big 3rd Q though. I can’t take another close game.

 

[Shaboid]

Like with most things, it's a little bit of both.

Fair enough.

I think it's expectations which makes people believe Collins is ass.
Remember coming into the season people were saying trade nurk cause Collins is the cotf?
You I hoops and a couple others knew better.

Then to start the year it looked to people not understanding guard responsibility. That nurk was ass and couldn't defend in the 2 on 1 situations he was being put in by our guards. But Zach had the ability to.

Now people see how good nurk is so they think Zach failed to meet expectations. When really it's on them. Not zach

No!!
Gotta be tough enough!
Playoffs aren't gonna be easy from now on.
We got this.

Eh. Let them hang around. Let them work to keep hanging with us. Let them play the bulky Millsap and Jokic the entire second half. And just keep them at arm's length and put them away at the end.

 

[beast blazer]

Will jock itch tire in the 2nd?

 

[H.C.]

A segment on Portland? We wtf

 

[BonesJones]

I'm nervous!

Bullshit, it's not on me. It's on this organization for drafting a PROJECT with the 10TH PICK.

I expect better performance from the 10th overall pick.....guilty as charged, lol.

 

[PCmor7]

He's dragging now.

 

[BonesJones]

Dame misses wide open 3, Denver gets wide open layup. Of course.

 

[PCmor7]

I'm nervous!

Yoga. Breathe.

 

[JDC]

Little bit extra from Murray there on that screen...

 

[kingslayer]

Dear god. What a horrid start.

 

[VenomXL]

Stop leaving Murray wide open. WTF.

 

[BonesJones]

Smh. Terrible start and we lose the lead. Of course. WE ALWAYS FUCKING DO.

 

[crandc]

There went the lead. Stuck record

 

[BonesJones]

8 points in a minute and a half... smh.
