Game Thread PLAYOFFS: ROUND 2, GAME 1: BLAZERS @ NUGGETS - APRIL 29, 2019 - MONDAY, 7:30 PM, TNT

I’m working, and I can’t watch the game.

I don’t know whether to keep an eye on the score updates, or to try to avoid seeing the score so I don’t know the result when I watch the replay when I get home.

 

Im really nervous about this series. I think Denver is deep and is a really rough matchup both roster and style wise. I picked Portland in 6 but I was much more confident about the OKC match up. I also think Malone is a better coach (with much more coachable players) than Donovan).

Someone give me a pick me up as to why this is a good matchup for us?

 

I can give you 37 reasons.
There's something about our team this year. Something special.
Dame told Meyers before 5he okc series they're gonna make a long run.
For the first time in.......well, a long time, I think we can actually see it happening.

 

He IS Sam Elliot. But he is really Wade Garrett. The baddest of the badass Sams!

 

RH was on STARZ last night.
Watched it.
I've noticed the rotten tomato rating gets better all the time. I think its a great "guys flick"...Sam Elliott steals the show, for me.
Anyway...
Back To Blazers.

 

I'm ready to bet that one-armed playoff Kanter is better than two-armed playoff Labissierre, especially vs. Jokic.

 

Sam Elliot does live in Oregon BTW. So maybe he's a Blazers fan?

He and Katharine Ross bought a property I had wished I could buy for years. (I saw it first, dammit.)

I'd tell you where, but then he'd have to kill me.

 

I don't think assist numbers are important. We should be able to attack Jokic constantly in pick n roll, and if Dame's able to score of those (which he should), it won't result in assist numbers. What it could result in is Jokic foul trouble, and we'd really be able to get our offense going if Dame's scoring a bunch out of pick n roll.

 

He can still box out, set a screen, and make layups. I'll take it.

 

Thats hilarious because i pulled it up on vudo a week or so ago and forced the wife to watch it with me.

 

He lived a block over from my pool house and went to david douglass high school.

 

once in a while guys step up and find themselves in a situation like this and thrive, probably more often they do little and fade. Skals situation in Sac was pretty bad for him, he showed me more skills in that season ending garbage time game than I thought he had. He's at a stage in his career when opportunities become fewer, this IMO could be huge for him, he can see he's on a team with a great leader and environment, lets see what he does with his chance. He saw how well Kanter has done in his time here, can he step up? we will see

 

Been so long since we had a game

 

Has anyone seen yet if Harkless is Ninja Moe or Headband Moe tonight?

I am still making my way home from work.

 

No Shit!
One hour to go..

 

i hope Enes doesn't hurt himself further

 

That was some really funny shit right there! I didn't have a clue he lived here, so hell yeah he watches the Blazers....

Hi Mr. Elliot! Glad you could join us!!!


(Just so he doesn't miss it....)
