    Their bench is going to be a problem for us.

    Their guard corps is good, but ours is better.

    Our ability to contain Jokic is going to mean everything.

    I'm happy.
    Harris/Murray vs Lillard/CJ
    Milsap/ that one dude vs Chief/Moe
    Jokic vs Kanter
    Bench
    Coach
    Advantage Portland all but one.

    True, and with Murray/Harris/Beasley, they have lots of looks to throw at him.

    I'm not worried. If we get the same effort from Moe/Chief that we got in the first round, we might sweep.

    His conditioning isn't great. Gotta run him on the break and make him play defense.

    @Wade Garrett was saying that Jokic looked gassed at the end of tonight's game. If a tired Jokic is an ineffective Jokic, I hope Kanter makes him work hard.

    He was gassed. He doesn't look like he is in the best shape. He was slow running the floor. When the Spurs got in front of him in the paint he got lazy and threw up one handed off balance hook shots that missed.

    so then, it's fairly certain Kanter is playing?

    Not certain at all. I said "I hope". Him playing is part of what I hope.

    One thing that pissed me off was whenever the Nuggets would miss and the Spurs would rebound, Jokic would grab or smack the guy with the ball on his way down the court I guess to slow them down so he could get past them and down the court. Be prepared to see him do it to the Blazers too

    I hope that the youth and inexperience that showed itself for the Nuggets tonight continues in that the Nuggets are more focused and satisfied with the first round win instead of moving on. Maybe they relax a little.

    Jokic is overrated and I have never been impressed by him. It's their guards that can give us some problems.

    Blazers in 6. I want us to go to the WCF on our court.
