    I think I have come to despise Jokic...

    Also one of the last play when Beasley is called for a foul and proceed to act like it is a unbelievable outrage... then they should the replay where he clearly hack Lillard across his whole arm and body. FUCKING LOL

    You may or may not be joking, but in case you aren't I hope you're taking advil (ibuprofen) and not tylenol (acetaminophen). Tylenol and alcohol will fuck your liver dead. While advil/alcohol isn't a great idea either, it's a much less bad option than tylenol/alcohol.

    He started the 2nd half last night. Played 6 minutes and didn't show that he deserved any more minutes. As soon as he was in they just attacked him in the pick and roll and he can't get over a screen so his guy is always free with Jake running behind. As soon as Jake went out they stopped the pick and roll. Other teams have figured out he is not a good defender, doesn't have a reliable shot. I am not sure why Blazer fans continue to want him to play . Personally I would rather see one of the rookies get the minutes at least they can hit a wide open 3 pointer.

    Haha, I love when people say they're not going to argue while they're arguing. I've watched the video. I hear the whistle and there's not a single player on the Portland bench on the court. I haven't seen an angle that shows when Murray went onto the court so can't comment on that. If you don't mind, can you link the video that shows him on the court prior to the whistle? Thanks.

    Was so glad Nurk called out McHale's bias against the Blazers. Had to mute the game and listen to the radio broadcast because of how bad he and the play-by-play guy were. The boners they had for Denver made me nauseous. Thank fuck the next game is on ESPN.



    Just look at McHale's face when Dame hit the OKC series clincher:

    Terry Stotts' adjustments were key to that win...and Denver's adjustments--looking to trap/swarm Dame more--helped their cause, but surely hurt their morale. Stotts deserves the game ball.

    He wasn't any worse than Turner or Curry. Those dudes provide worse than nothing. At least there's the chance that Jake will make a nice back-door cut. He also pressures the ball full court, which is nice to see and burns a few seconds off the shot clock.

    NBA Justice!

    IOW: They won't penalize any Denver player for the clear rule violation, just like they didn't call the 6th foul on Jokic for the flagrant shove.

    Yep I almost died one night from the effects of taking Advil over a long period of time and apparently not drinking enough water. The ER doc told me he gets several cases a week. If not taken with lots of water Ibuprofen will create a tiny hole in your stomach causing it to fill up with blood. I had about a liter of blood in my stomach and passed out when I stood up in the middle of the night. Luckily my wife was there to save my ass before I choked on my own blood.

    I am no longer able to take any ibuprofen . Only Tylenol is allowed.

    Bottom line: Drinks lots of WATER when you take either.

    These are the same fans who demonstrated throughout the game that they clearly do not understand the rule of verticality, or whatever it's called these days, and the right of the defensive player to occupy space.

    Their crowd has been pathetic. First time they've advanced in the playoffs in a decade with a transcendent star and they can't even show up for a playoff game. I expect Moda to completely intimidate their players in Games 3 and 4. Imagine if they had a similar crowd to go with their altitude.

    I posted last night that between the refs and the announcers, I really didn't even enjoy the game.
    Right on Nurk.
