Game Thread PLAYOFFS: ROUND 2, GAME 5: BLAZERS @ NUGGETS - MAY 7, 2019 - TUESDAY, 7:30 PM, TNT

[LuckyShot]

Stotts needs to pull out some footage of what people said about us last year after we got swept and let the team know that they will hear the same shit this year. Getting to the second round only to piss down your leg means nothing.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

38% shooting for us, 55% for them.

 

[Portland2014]

Man i hate Jamal Murray, he acts like he's Michael Jordan.

 

[beast blazer]

I'd love to have a tough defender like Baldwin now too...he never got a chance.

 

[LayneStaley]

The NBA wants a Game 7 on sat and sun this weekend, book it.

 

[LuckyShot]

No, they really aren't. That's why it's so frustrating.

This. They are just taking what we give them.

 

[RonBrewer]

We can comeback.

Agreed. We can come back to Portland and win one more game.

We look like we did last year vs. New Orleans. Dame doesn't know how to play through the double teams and pressure. Denver has committed to guarding Dame and it's paying off. They are playing us on D exactly how New Orleans did. That would be okay if we weren't having so many live ball turnovers on the break. We are absolutely giving this game away and we are not matching Denver's heart.

 

[The Professional Fan]

This is basically the feeling of a blazers fan. This is home base.

 

[GhostOfPGA]

I just wish for once we’d have the refs on ourside in a series

 

[Paine Tablet]

Because of Jokic. He is white ...the next Nowitzki.....just wait until you see Doncic treatment coming up

You mean the Yao Ming treatment because he was white too.

 

[LuckyShot]

after all the trashing of Lillard around here for the last few days, he's the only Blazer who showed up in this game

Pretty much all of the trashing was fucking stupid to begin with.

 

[twobullz]

Take out Lillard's 7/12 shooting and the rest of the team is 11/39. If the rest of the team doesn't hit shots, it doesn't matter how good Dame plays.

 

[Serbian]

I just hate terry scotts, he is twin brother of Jason Gerret. And as a cowboys fan im stuck for over 10 years with that clown. And same with Scotts. Aminu should never ever play again period. Start Jake the snake mix it up you predictable motherfucker.

We can beat Denver tonight, just need to nut up in the second half. And close this out Thursday.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Hopefully they start missing some shots. We cant beat a good team with our second best player injured and the fucking refs with them shooting the lights out.

 

[Boise Blazer]

This game is NOT on Lillard. Who else has showed up at all for the Blazers? All you Lillard haters can fuck all the way off unless you can tell me who else has showed up in this game.

 

[wizenheimer]

Damian, once again getting dominated by his counter part in the playoffs. Westbrook and Beverly are the only two he's gotten the better of.

he doesn't guard Murray and Murray doesn't guard him

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

This team desperately needs a legit starting PF.

Aminu is a bench player

 

[Lukee]

Man i hate Jamal Murray, he acts like he's Michael Jordan.

he and Harris have punchable faces

 

[LuckyShot]

this is the effort we come up with?

Not prepared. Poor coaching. Same story we've seen in the playoffs every year under Stotts. Just rolls the ball out and let's the players win or lose.

Dame's 7/12 with 1 turnover.

 

[VanillaGorilla]

Starts with the head coach. Stotts can't win a series unless its against a terrible coach (Donovan, McHale) or if stars get hurt (BG. CP3).

Kinda sucks that he'll stay another year.

Our second best player is hurt and we have won 2 games in the second round. You don't think Stotts deserves any props for that?

 

[oldmangrouch]

The team is dead. They are not even making a serious effort. Stotts is the coach and Dame is the leader. Both of them should be deeply embarassed by this.

[Portland2014]

Ernie Johnson is so happy we're down by 18, i fucking hate this guy

 

[DDolla]

This happens when you give home court back to the Nuggets.

Stotts isn't doing wmthe aame things he was against OKC in regards to their pressure.

 

[VanillaGorilla]

Not prepared. Poor coaching. Same story we've seen in the playoffs every year under Stotts. Just rolls the ball out and let's the players win or lose.

The players not playing with effort is mostly their fault.

 

[hoopsjock]

The only good thing about being down is when we get down big we sometimes play faster and with more urgency and we usually play well when we do that.

 

[Wade Garrett]

Man...I remember this game a couple years ago where Yusuf Nurkic put up a 30 spot and made Jokic look like a little baby..
Was just thinking about that.
If only Nurk was here. Not saying this series would or wouldn't go seven, but Blazers wouldn't look like a bunch of toddlers hanging onto daddy's leg.
