Game Thread PLAYOFFS: ROUND 2, GAME 6: NUGGETS @ BLAZERS - MAY 9, 2019 - THURSDAY, 7:30 PM , ESPN

[Jon]

I dont understand. Game 2 and 3 we ran like hell. Every other game we didnt, we lost. Why dont we run?

 

[A$AP Meyers]

Almost every offensive possession ends i. Dame above the arc waiting doe a screen or trying to create 1v1 with less than 10 on the shot clock. This offense is a joke.

That’s because we waste 10 seconds every possession running “dummy” blocker mover or wheel action..or that stupid top weave shit

We literally spend half of every possession just moving for the sake of moving. Never moving with purpose.

Denver is the complete opposite. They waste zero time getting into their actions or going straight to the P&R to get the matchup they want. Denver doesn’t even have to work on defense aside from the 5-10 seconds we desperately try to get to our spots or get a shot off

 

[hoopsjock]

Glad to see we made zero adjustments.

Exactly like last game. 0 adjustments.

0.0 changes from last game. Malone has to be as happy as a pig in shit. It is really hard to respect whats happening from a strategic standpoint

I love that we didn’t change fucking anything after getting blown out.

I listened to an interview with Stotts right before the game and he said that they got good looks in Game 5 they just didn't go in. I knew right then he wouldn't make a single adjustment.

 

[Cugel]

How much of a hole does Stotts what us to be in before he makes some changes??

It's an "unconventional" approach to say the least. Like sticking with the missionary position night after night after night, even when it don't work.

 

[brooklynballer]

Sick of this shit. Every time a Nugget takes the ball to the rack the fucking refs whistle a foul. Every fucking time. Meanwhile Dame and CJ getting clobbered by that cocaine snorting, red-nosed motherfucker and nothing.

 

[Bill_Lamebeer]

Let Aminu walk and keep hood. Seriously

 

[JDC]

Glad I'm still at work.

 

[illmatic99]

It doesn't seem like Murray should be getting these foul calls. Idk.

They are legit fouls

 

[wizenheimer]

after the time-out, Denver will shoot FT's 9 & 10. Portland hasn't shot any yet. This isn't a comment on officiating ...it's a comment on which team is the most aggressive and confidant

 

[GhostOfPGA]

The nuggets set the tone in game 1 with physical play defensively, they get away with it because it’s what they’ve been doing all series. We didn’t match it and decided to play straight up, took the hard road. Still can win this series though.

 

[LuckyShot]

Dame: Look at Murray, how aggressive he is getting to the line... gee, what are you waiting for?

2 things: 1, Murray has much more space to work with and 2, Dame doesn't get any calls consistently. They give him a few token calls, but he has to get trucked 4 times before they give him a trip to the line. It's not a winning strategy like it is for Harden.

 

[Aussie Blazer!]

They should play the "Say what" segment all the way through the game, as it seems to be the only thing that can distract the Nuggets....

 

[Cugel]

Glad I'm still at work.

Brother, you aint missing a thing

 

[Blazerized]

It took 3.5 games, but Denver seems to have us pretty well figured out.

Yup, that's what I was afraid of. Repeat of pelicans series.

Doesn't help that the refs are doing this to us though.

 

[CupWizier]

The bandwagon fans are e

Alright see ya. Don't comment in this thread again then.

The bandwagon fans are exposing themself.

 

[brooklynballer]

So goddamn depressing. What a birthday gift for me. Thanks Blazers.

Happy Birthday! If indeed it is your birthday?!?

 

[Magoo]

Let's rally back Portland!

 

[42N8Bounce]

Free Throws Attempted:
Portland: 0
Denver: 10

Let’s start taking it to the rim Blazers. Get aggressive and mean!

 

[hoopsjock]

I dont understand. Game 2 and 3 we ran like hell. Every other game we didnt, we lost. Why dont we run?

Stotts.

 

[LuckyShot]

It took 3.5 games, but Denver seems to have us pretty well figured out.

Then that's pretty sad on them because they should have had us figured out at least 2 years ago. It's not like the blueprint to beat us has changed.

 

[DUB]

The Nuggets players are watching the entertainment on the big screen during the timeout. Brooke is saying phrases to our players with headphones on. They look like they don't have a care in the world.

 

[twobullz]

Collins air ball on a short little hook shot.

 

[BonesJones]

I listened to an interview with Stotts right before the game and he said that they got good looks in Game 5 they just didn't go in. I knew right then he wouldn't make a single adjustment.

Thats beyond ridiculous. My goodness.

Im so... sigh... nevermind.

 

[LuckyShot]

They always have someone in the key playing zone defense.

 

[Jade Falcon]

I hate Collins so much. He is so overrated by this forum.

 

[VanillaGorilla]

Was Hood not fouled there??

 

[Cugel]

Terry take Hood out he's hot

 

[LuckyShot]

Should be a foul on Murray. Rolling on the floor tripping people has always been a foul on us...

 

[VanillaGorilla]

Feed Hood please

 

[GhostOfPGA]

Lmao swallowed the whistle so hard on us
