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

[DDolla]

We are going to get blown out in game 5 then we come back and win game 6. Game 7 at Denver Jokic gets to the line 30 times... Ballgame.

 

[kjironman1]

At work, couldn’t watch, listened to the radio stream.

Sounded like we got hosed by the refs in the third quarter. Did we or didn’t we?

Well asking that question on this board is kind of silly now isn't it?

 

[Lukee]

ffs don't melt down.

 

[Chris Craig]

Dude no

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

 

[kjironman1]

Gotta make your free throws.

 

[Natebishop3]

I haven't read the comments but fuck anyone who posted (if they did) that the refs weren't bad because the fouls were pretty even in the end.

This was horse shit officiating.

The refs didn't turn the ball over 14 times.

The refs didn't' miss 6 free throws.

The refs didn't let the Nuggets get 17 offensive rebounds.

The refs CERTAINLY didn't leave Will Barton wide open on back to back threes.

 

[Sarni]

I think we can win game 5.

 

[wizenheimer]

If dame and cj had only hit their fts...if dame hadn't waited till the 4th to start playing...

if Collins could grab a defensive rebound and refrain from getting a T

if CJ hadn't turned his back on Barton ball-watching giving Denver 6 points

if any Blazer could have shot well in the 3rd Q

if Portland didn't give up 17 offensive rebounds

 

[MightyMouseOps1]

We lost because Will Barton kept knocking down 3s. The defense is designed to force Barton to take those shots and he hit it time and again down the stretch. Fucking crippling.

 

[Wade Garrett]

Two really good teams goin at it. This is some great basketball..
Most said Blazers in six?
That's still in play.
Got 'em right where we want 'em.

 

[Minstrel]

We choked. The refs weren't doing us any favors, but we totally could have won this.

I think it was a poorly refereed game for both sides, really. If I were a Nuggets fan, I'd be pissed by a lot of calls, too.

If Lillard has even an average game for him, Portland wins, maybe by 10. Just an off-night, it happens. Happened to Steph Curry last night.

But the refs did allow Jokic to foul all night, called touch fouls on us, and let Dame get molested down the lane for 4 straight games.

 

[DDolla]

I think we can win game 5.

I hope so

 

[ehizzy3]

Not the easiest thing to do. This is why I don't want Scott Foster in a home game.

of course it’s not easy this is the playoffs man. But I refuse to just assume we won’t, especially when we already have this series

How many people were saying Denver were done after Friday? It’s a 7 game series for a reason.

 

[Chris Craig]

I just want one Conference Finals man... why the fuck does it always have to be this way? Fuckkkkkkk

Because we are Blazers fans. It's the burden we must carry.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

fuck these fucking pieces of shit..win game 5 in that fucking shithole

 

[Titan]

Mike Malone has some Silver dick to suck tonight

 

[kjironman1]

I think we can win game 5.

I think they pretty much have to win game 5

 

[Jade Falcon]

We choked. The refs weren't doing us any favors, but we totally could have won this.

This. Can't blame 14 turn overs and missed FTs on the refs. They did us no favors, but this loss is on us.

 

[beast blazer]

Oh well....portland run should stop here if dame plays this way

 

[KingSpeed]

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

No he hasn’t

 

[Natebishop3]

But the refs did allow Jokic to foul all night, called touch fouls on us, and let Dame get molested down the lane for 4 straight games.

This is Portland. Are we not used to this kind of bullshit by now? We can't shoot ourselves in the foot and we did.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

i cant believe will fucking barton beat us

 

[Chris Craig]

We showed we can win in Denver. Series isn't over. Just evenly matched.

Its over. Murray will destroy us in Denver. He has become the best player in the series

 

[GhostOfPGA]

This is Portland. Are we not used to this kind of bullshit by now? We can't shoot ourselves in the foot and we did.

We shouldn’t have to play with a different set of rules, it’s ridiculous that we have to expect perfect games from our players to win.

 

[Jade Falcon]

We lost because Will Barton kept knocking down 3s. The defense is designed to force Barton to take those shots and he hit it time and again down the stretch. Fucking crippling.

He never fucking played this good for us. I remember last year after we beat the shit out of Denver him sitting alone in the stadium and me feeling sorry for him.

Not anymore.

 

[Serbian]

All i want is from scotts is to double and blitz murry. That bastard is too good to be wide open of 1V1!!! Let jokic score let him score 40 points but take murry away , and we will win the series because If we double or dont double he does damage regardless, i know murry is young he would screw up big time with doubles and blitzes

 

[illmatic99]

i cant believe will fucking barton beat us

They hit some massive shots when Dame made his run

 

[Shaboid]

if Collins could grab a defensive rebound and refrain from getting a T

if CJ hadn't turned his back on Barton ball-watching giving Denver 6 points

if any Blazer could have shot well in the 3rd Q

if Portland didn't give up 17 offensive rebounds

If onlys and justs were candies and nuts, then everyday would be Erntedankfest

 

[Chris Craig]

We shouldn’t have to play with a different set of rules, it’s ridiculous that we have to expect perfect games from our players to win.

Just the way it is. Nothing we can do about it.
