Game Thread PLAYOFFS: ROUND 2, GAME 7: BLAZERS @ NUGGETS - MAY 12, 2019 - SUNDAY, 12:30 PM, ABC

Right. I saw that opening tip and I said to myself Blazers win, then on the first possession the ball goes to Aminu.

Seriously if Aminu hits some of those shots he was wide open for they win going away.
He could go for 30 or 40 easy if he hit wide open threes. But then they would guard him. Dame would then light em up for 40.

 

[TBpup]

LMFAO!!!!!!!!!

Seriously.....did she even look at a box score? There were 2 fouls on Zach even the announcers called out as bogus. Reality is not their friend.

 

[wizenheimer]

I still think the Nuggets are a better team. However, we're more resilient and clutch.

a healthy 'better' team with HCA doesn't get beat by an injured worse team, not in a 7 game series

 

[Sedatedfork]

Do we know what is up with Brian Wheeler? I hope he enjoyed the win today. Sad he can't be calling these games. Hope he gets well soon.

Congrats to the blazers, but this game got me starting to think the NBA needs serious reforms in officiating, or the league is fixed. One of the two. Touch fouls were called all game and at the same time the blazers fouled jokic every single possession. He was getting mauled out there. But I get it the, the blazers will make more money for the nba continuing on then nuggets so it's not surprising."

How stupid can a fanbase be? They shot 15 more free throws than us. Like.... what the fuck do they want? 30 more free throws? 40? 50?

How can they be so blind?

 

[Hoopguru]

Who's the one and only guy that at the beginning of the season seriously predicted Blazers would make the WCF'?

 

[Labinot41]

Zero chance we can win this game fams!

Oh boy oh boy. Oh boy boy it happened again

 

[kjironman1]

LMFAO!!!!!!!!!

They were in the bonus 3 mins into the third quarter. 3 minutes. How does that even happen?

 

[Dom McBlazer]

He's a rat faced front runner.

It's not just this series. I am sure he will mature with age. But right now he is a cocky little shit and has been since college.
He needed to be brought down a peg. But no doubt he is very good.

Like I mentioned before, I don't watch Nuggets game so I didn't know much about him before our series so that's why I don't get the frontrunning. Now, I did some research and I guess Lakers AND Celtics fans can't stand him. Uhhhhh okay lol?!?!?!

 

[kjironman1]

You are money no question.

 

[Hoopguru]

Jody Allen traveled to Denver? Went into the locker room after the game?

Interesting.

Very cool.

Paul is smiling from heaven.

I think the team slogan for the WCF's should be :" Ball for Paul"

 

[kjironman1]

One thing is for certain. That Murray kid is gonna be good for a long time. He is a damn good player.

 

[Sedatedfork]

I totally agree. That dude was hitting some unconscious shots in this series. Seemed to play without fear.

 

[kjironman1]

I really appreciate that the Blazers stayed on the court and shook hands with the Nuggets players.
That was a very hard fought series. Nuggets deserve some respect.

Total gahbidge. Was he complaining everytime Enes or Dame got "mauled"? Insert Justin Timberlake, "Cry Me a River". Look at the FT's awarded.

 

[Labinot41]

Aminu only 7 minutes tonight.

Seriously, he and harkless probably the most useless forwards off all Playoff teams. We would be a Contender with an Upgrade on both positions

Harkless had some good moments in the 4th. But yeah, the forward positions need some upgrades.

Don’t look now but they are contending?

He likes to run his mouth and in my opinion hasn't earned it.

 

[Labinot41]

Ok wrong word, we would probably the best team in the NBA.

 

[tykendo]

The Blazers, with a healthy Nurk, will be "contending" for years to come. Suck It! National Media.

 

[Labinot41]

Don’t look now but they are contending?

I'm just not a fan of Aminu and harkless after this series. I really hope Neil is able to make an Upgrade this Summer

 

[Hoopguru]

right on! The Harris kid is also pretty tough!

 

[wizenheimer]

well, figuratively-digitally, all of here like to run our mouths and we didn't have to earn it either

 

[Wade Garrett]

I just checked and the Blazers plane has changed its scheduled destination from PDX to SFO.

You have a point there.

 

[tykendo]

I'm sure they packed in prep for this potential situation. Warm up the Trolleys, "ding ding".

 

[Hoopguru]

I have mixed feelings on this. He has very important strengths, but his weaknesses are glaring. I do think he's shown glimpses of addressing them in these playoffs though, and that is great to see.

The one obvious factual thing is "The players like playing for him" so when we hear guys like Kanter and Hood talk about how different it is and everyone gets long very well, thats the synergy thats hard to measure.

 

[kjironman1]

Man they can’t even enjoy this win.

 

[theprunetang]

And we just captured our injured bird! What a day!
