Why I'll always remember Blazer Playoffs 2019

[Wizard Mentor]

1) 37
2) 4OT
3) Most playoff wins in 20 years (since 2000)
4) Redemption (Swept out last 2 years, including as a #3 seed, to being ahead in the 2nd round)
5) "My mind is abuzzin' cause I heard a hard take, that big Boogie Cousins turned into a snake..."
6) Might become the year that Dame kills the Triple-Double. The press has made a big deal about
it, giving Russ the MVP. However, now that Russ has won only 4 playoff games in 3 years, doubt
is being cast on the importance of it. That will be further questioned if we beat the Jokic and the
Nuggs.
7) Game of Thrones final season:

Of course there are also the individual stories...

1) Nurk eschewing flip shots to embrace his inner-beast, yielding his best season ever (and he's still
very young).
2) Most will remember the heroics. I'll also remember this as being the year Dame became a 2-way player.
3) CJ showing he can do more than just dribble the air out of the ball
4) Role players (Harkless and Aminu) not necessarily excelling, but stepping up when we needed
them to.
5) Freaking Gutty performance by Kanter playing with a separated shoulder.
6) Collins getting important playoff minutes, and being solid - refs still calling bs on him, though.
I'll be looking to see if this postseason ignites a 3rd year leap next year.
7) ...

Did I leave anything important out? Probably.

For when I want to re-live it...

I want to add this post season has been a defining moment to me for Stotts. He’s shown he can make adjustments in the playoffs, something I wasnt sure he could do.

I think Stotts knows his squad now. He knows the game and seems to have learned a lot these last few years.
