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

[OneSport3]

Yeah, this series isn’t on Stotts, what more can he do? I mean I’d like to never see ET play again but we don’t have a third ball handler other than him, so we are stuck.

Couple that with having to play by another set of rules than the other team and it’s a hard day.

Why not go after Murray on the defensive end every time like they do with Milsap? Murray got 2 fouls in the 1st quarter, 0 points...

 

[Wade Garrett]

If Nurk was here, wed still be getting crushed. He wouldnt be able to fix the problems we have right now.

I disagree.

 

[VanillaGorilla]

I gave Stotts props for the 1st round. None for this round thoug . Funny how he struggled when we go up against a competent coach.

Sorry but that's nonsense. Not having our second best player is not Stotts' fault. Not having our second best player makes coaching a lot harder, especially in the playoffs, and he's managed to have this team do pretty damn well, considering the circumstances.

 

[BlayZa]

Forum melting down quicker than the team

 

[wizenheimer]

Great, He's having his only good game of the series and we're down 18

and, you prove yourself a liar because just a couple of pages ago you said that you "love Dame". Somehow you're going to try and find a way to blame Dame for Denver's 1st half. Your love sucks

 

[GhostOfPGA]

Why not go after Murray on the defensive end every time like they do with Milsap? Murray got 2 fouls in the 1st quarter, 0 points...

I’ve noticed that they bring a double on Murray’s man.

 

[MightyMouseOps1]

Collins and Meyers need to play and be given the green light to shoot 3 after 3 with the way Denver is guarding us and the way Aminu is playing offensively.

 

[KingSpeed]

Great, He's having his only good game of the series and we're down 18

He had 39 game one. I don’t care about Dame’s stats. Winning is what matters.

 

[Stumptown14]

This team desperately needs a legit starting PF.

Aminu is a bench player

I agree. Aminu is about as good of a three and D small forward as you can get for what we are paying him. Asking him to play PF is asking against milsap an jokic is to much.

I never thought I'd say this after what he did to us but this series makes me miss LMA and all of those rebounds that just fell into his lap.

 

[Boise Blazer]

I don't have a major problem with Stotts but it would be nice to take away his crutches. It's time for this team to take the next step however we need to.

 

[Lukee]

Chuckster is great

 

[hoopsjock]

We aren’t losing this game because of the refs. We are losing because of one dimensional specialists like Aminu, harkless, and Curry. Denver’s offense looks like a well oiled machine. All their players can shoot and even though they have no shot blockers they have guys at the rim even when our guards get thru the double on the pick and roll . Nobody is worried about Aminu and Harkless and turner on offense. Curry no shows anytime someone is physical with him.

I don't know man, Jokic had at least 3 fouls when we were only down 6 and if they call any one of the 3 he picks up his 3rd and likely sits the rest of the half. This game could be completely different if that happened.

 

[KingSpeed]

I gave Stotts props for the 1st round. None for this round thoug . Funny how he struggled when we go up against a competent coach.

Funny how you had us losing to Thunder in 6 after game 3. This series isn’t over either.

 

[Boise Blazer]

I would LOVE Aminu... Off the bench. We can't contend with him as a starter.

 

[riverman]

We're shooting 38% and they are shooting 55%

 

[GhostOfPGA]

I would LOVE Aminu... Off the bench. We can't contend with him as a starter.

Unless he is a 3, and we get a PF.

 

[oldmangrouch]

Like I said, @oldmangrouch you can yap all day but tell me who else showed up so far tonight?

If he gets credit for his leadership in victory, he needs to take the heat in defeat. Sorry if my refusal to be a hypocrite offends you.

 

[Boise Blazer]

When he has a great game we are almost unbeatable but that is way too infrequent.

 

[KingSpeed]

Do the blazers want the season to end?

No. They just want another chance in Denver with 2 days off.

 

[riverman]

Funny how you had us losing to Thunder in 6 after game 3. This series isn’t over either.

Let alone a 4 OT win......I don't get it either

 

[Lukee]

Show some heart and effort!

 

[Chris Craig]

I have the Blazers in 7 and since we’re not going to lose at home again, this is the loss. Relax guys. We’re good.

 

[LayneStaley]

I think Zach is starting at PF next season.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Giving up Collins would hurt... especially with Blake’s injury history and contract.

I'd do it in a heart beat without a second thought. When you're getting outplayed by Mason Plumlee, the writing is on the wall.

Give me Griffin, thanks. Even injured, he's WAAAAYY more valuable than Collins will ever be.

 

[riverman]

CJ!!

 

[BonesJones]

Funny how you had us losing to Thunder in 6 after game 3. This series isn’t over either.

Funny how youre wrong all the fucking time yet you give other people shit for being wrong.

 

[Boise Blazer]

If he gets credit for his leadership in victory, he needs to take the heat in defeat. Sorry if my refusal to be a hypocrite offends you.

You have still yet to tell me who else has stepped up so far this game....

 

[VanillaGorilla]

Play this half with some heart and I'll be happy. Crash the boards and play tough defense.

 

[GhostOfPGA]

I'd do it in a heart beat without a second thought. When you're getting outplayed by Mason Plumlee, the writing is on the wall.

Give me Griffin, thanks. Even injured, he's WAAAAYY more valuable than Collins will ever be.

He makes 31+ mil a year tho

Collins - 6pts, 2 reb
Plumlee - 0pts, 3 reb

Blaming Zach makes 0 sense.

 

[hoopsjock]

Aminu, instead of standing around and letting Murray get his own missed shot and then fouling him how about you box him out.

Fucking lazy shit.
