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

Why no Tech for Collins for hanging after dunk?

 

[GhostOfPGA]

Gotta give props to these refs. True pros, they are. Now that the game is way out of reach, they start evening the foul calls. And giving Jokic some fouls so they look unbiased. That's how you know they are veteran NBA refs. They know how to work the boxscore.

Yup, Jokic should’ve fouled out in the third quarter if the refs called it as tight as they do against us.

 

[twobullz]

What is really embarrassing is the Blazers are 13-23 from the foul line.

Nah NBA isn't controlled like that at all.

I hope Jodi Allen is watching this. I can't even imagine what's going through her head.

Wondering if she should call the FBI and have her coach and players investigated for throwing games. It is almost impossible for a team to play this bad by accident - the question is why they quit like this?

 

[KingSpeed]

So you're never going to blame Stotts for a single thing, no matter what?

I give him props when he deserves it. I give him flack when he deserves it. Meanwhile, you're an unreasonably optimistic homer who tries to call out other people for their takes.

You can be balanced and understand that he is one of the best coaches in the league who has gotten his team to Game 6 of the WCSF despite his starting center having a broken leg and his backup having a separated shoulder.

I mean... They probably couldn't if they were called for the same fouls as us consistently.

 

[LayneStaley]

Starting lineup on Thursday: Dame/CJ/Hood/Collins/Meyers

I will never post again if Stotts changes the Starting lineup, no way.

 

[Magoo]

Like what I'm seeing with hood, Collins and lenard!

Dame's early misses at the line were deflating.

He's a good regular season players' coach.

 

[Natebishop3]

We haven't won since Kanter hurt his shoulder worse.

 

[KingSpeed]

I will never post again if Stotts changes the Starting lineup, no way.

I don't think Kanter can play anymore. 4OT plus all the traveling and the fasting. He's done.

"Balanced"?! I've NEVER heard you criticize him, ever. Only make excuses.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

This game = This HCP gif

 

[trailblazer18]

I agree!

 

[BonesJones]

Jokic complaining? What a bitch.

 

[Titan]

Why keep Jokic in the game anyway

 

[Darkwebs]

Jokic fouls out. Of course, it happens when the game is meaningless. Just a coincidence. Not manipulation by the refs in anyway.

 

[BonesJones]

Meyers can't even make a FT hahaha.

 

[KingSpeed]

Meyers Leonard hearing MVP chants?

 

[LuckyShot]

ROFL fuck you refs

 

[VenomXL]

What the hell is going on at the foul line?

 

[RonBrewer]

If we lose this series, I hate to say it but i will pull hard for the Warriors to go in Dry on this Denver team.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Oh now it looks like they called it fair cause jokic fouled out. What a fucking joke

 

[Magoo]

He should foul our ever game for fuck sakes

 

[LuckyShot]

Time to put in our starters and push.

 

[Jade Falcon]

He's a good regular season players' coach.

This. If you've got a young, rebuilding team who isn't going to the playoffs any time soon, he's the coach for you.

If you've got a team of Veterans who are trying to make it past round 1, look elsewhere.

 

[LuckyShot]

Murray looks like shit any time he has to take a contested shot.
