    I think the Nuggets caught what the Thunder had in terms of shooting from the previous series problem is it's only temporary and Dame and CJ need to wake up or this lead will fade fast.

    ESPN announcers - 'Dismal first half'
    Portland has a 15 point lead therefore it's dismal.

    I hope Dame and CJ wake the fuck up in the 2nd half. Or this could get ugly if Denver gets hot.

    I like how they pick up higher and mix it up with some double teams. Yes Nuggets have miss some open shots but majority time we been rotating very good.

    Can't count on them continuing to miss open shots second half, so Dame and CJ need to get cooking.

    this was the worst half of the playoffs for Dame. He and CJ have 11 points on 17 shots, which is horrible. Yet the Blazers are up by 15

    Denver won't go 4-20 on three's in the 2nd half so at least one of Dame-CJ really need one of those 20 point 2nd halves

    Jesus, Shaq is massive. I never got to see him play in his prime, but he must have been a nightmare to go up against.

    This is post of the game in my opinion. No matter if this is a win or loss, you would still be correct in your analysis of the game.

    Dame had a low scoring first half in game 3 last series and then he scored 25 in the third quarter.

    CJ and Dame are combined 4-17 and they’re up 15. While yeah Denver will probably start hitting shots. You’d expect Dame and CJ to warm up too.

    Yes, looks like Stotts is actually making some adjustments. I'm not sure if they have practiced this enough to be effective but so far it has thrown Denver off a little.

    Looks like major defensive adjustments were made.
    Denver's sucking for sure but a lot of it is because of the flat out hustling Portland's doing on defense.
    Should win but 15 points aint what it used to be.
    3rd quarter....we know what time it is.
    Better be.

    Even though Zach has 3 fouls but he been activated on both ends. What he wasn't afraid to battle Jokic.
