How do you feel about home-and-away series during the regular season?

Poll closed Apr 11, 2019.

  1. Love 'em. The competition/rivalry is more fierce & fun playing 2 straight against the same team.

    9 vote(s)
    18.4%

  2. I like 'em. It adds some intrigue and interest to an otherwise long season.

  3. Meh. No opinion either way

    22 vote(s)
    44.9%

  4. I don't really like them. They don't add much to a regular season game.

    3 vote(s)
    6.1%

  5. Hate 'em. I don't like seeing the same team again so soon. And these seem to always end in a split.

    Or how bout we dont play into the trap every single possession with predictable and constant high pick n roll? Where's the "flow"? Wheres the "motion"?

    Nah, man. Trolling is the internet version of passive aggression. That shit you say builds up in people and their tolerance shortens. I know I'm wasting my time interacting with you at all, but I hate your posts that much.

    This is something I agree with. Why don't they take advantage of his range? Even if he misses, its the THREAT of him shooting that helps the team.

    Now the Blazer that was disappointing was Harkless at least 3 times he stood there flat footed while watching Denver get offensive rebounds and didn't see the energy from him.

    I like how if Dame doesn't have yet another super human performance something is wrong with him.

    Someone on twitter was complaining how Dame has been off since Nurk went down - in the meantime, he literally earned NBA Player of the Week.

    He was passive for most of the game.

    He nearly had his first scoreless half in 5 years...

    I went back and read all the gameposts I missed and not sure if cityofroses did anything all that bad seems like he/she was getting just as much crap as they were giving. Yes it was trollish but just about everything they said 3-4 people responded too in a manner that was almost just as trollish.

    :dunno:

    I don't think they will. The 2nd seed isn't sewn up, the Rocks are still in contention.

    It's not going to be easy for them, but the Rockets can win the 2nd seed. The Rockets did win the season series against the Nuggets, so the Nuggets HAVE to finish ahead of them. They need 2 more wins to cinch the 2nd seed, or 1 win and 1 Houston loss.

    If anything, the Nuggets will come out gangbusters on Sunday, because they also have to play at Utah (who is also fighting for an option for HCA, against Portland most likely).

    I think it might be that the load of carrying the team the past few weeks combined with the two defenders the Nuggets threw at him all game wore him down.

    Well in the first half they were exploiting mismatches and it was working. Would you rather have Dame force bad shots against double teams? They had built a lead in the 1st quarter that the bench squandered. How is that Dame's fault?
