Game Thread PLAYOFFS: ROUND 2, GAME 5: BLAZERS @ NUGGETS - MAY 7, 2019 - TUESDAY, 7:30 PM, TNT

Because Terry Stotts is our head coach! Teams that are well-coached don't come out like they did tonight!

Brett Brown is the same way. Poor coach with a ton of talent.

 

It’s going to be the first game 7 of Dame carrers

Well that felt far too much like the 2018 playoffs - game 3. They'd better figure something out, or they'll be eliminated by this bunch of clowns.

 

Thanks, I needed a good laugh!

 

At this point in his career he still cant anticipate and get his feet and hands in position to receive a pass and lay it in.

 

We will see more Meyers and that will surprising be a good thing.

 

11th overall pick. Don't know what the fuck Olshey saw in him.

 

The NBA will want us to win Game 6 so they can have a massive audience Saturday afternoon watch as Jock Itch gets 30/15/15 without committing a foul. GUARANTEED.

 

Too busy with school? You can study 24/7..if it were me I’d take my break during the Blazers games. But what do I know I flunked out of Arizona State

 

I have always felt when people say “_____ wanted it more” or “_____ played harder” that it’s asinine. These guys are all competitors and want to win. Especially at this point in the season.

With that said, Denver absolutely wanted it more tonight. And absolutely played MUCH harder. Super disheartening effort. Dame has looked out of it for a large chunk of this series. CJ was a total mess. Aminu and Moe looked like they hotboxed their hotel room before hopping on the bus.

How many times did Denver get easy buckets cutting across a guys face? How many times did they get free points just by running the floor? How many offensive rebounds do they need to get before we’ve finally said “enough”? How many pick and roll coverages to we need to botch before we decide to focus for 48 minutes.

Just a complete and total disaster tonight. That was really bad. I’ve done a pretty good job this year of trying to be more patient and not be as reactionary as I have in the past (as many of you know, I embarrassed myself many times last year on this board). I’m at a loss for words regarding tonight though. That was absolutely disgusting and embarrassing. I’m in complete shock.

 

We just haven't had the same fire in this series that we had against OKC.

In game one we were super flat, and only Dame showed up.

Today we were super super flat, and only Dame showed up.

This team needs more talent.

 

When was the last time the Portland Trailblazers missed 14 free throws in a game?
That alone makes it a 12 point game.
Then the starters go 5-18 from three point. Lets say they make 7-18.
That makes it a 6 point game.
Aminu 1-8 and Kanter goes 2-9. Pretty easy to come up with 6 points there don't ya think?

Those of you bashing Lillard better step back. He was the only one who showed up for this game.
He would have had 20 assists if his teammates could hit an open shot tonight.

This Loss is absolutely not on Lillard or Stotts.
That was a dreadful shooting performance. If Collins, Leonard and Hood don't shoot respectably the percentages are UGLY!

 

I can only hope that the players have my level of anger and embarrassment right now. They will need that fire to win any more games. But I hope they do because that would make it so sweet.

 

Yes. He needs to attack’s jokic and Moda will love it

 

Chuck cracks me up lol

 

They have my friend trust me we are going to have a game 7

 

GMs love "prospects". If they work out, the GM looks smart. If they fail miserably, the GM blames the fans for being too impatient. The fans in this forum are more knowledgable than average - and yet look at how many make excuses for Leonard. They have swalloed the con hook, line, and sinker.
