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

Funny how the Refs decide to call fouls on Jokic in a game they are up 25 points.
You will never see those calls when it is a tight game.

 

Man CJ fucking disappeared tonight...

 

Btw I have only turned off probably 2 or 3 games ever out of frustration but this was one of them.

 

"What if we made a ton more shots, then we could've won, so it's not Stotts fault"...

The shots we were getting weren't quality. The offense wasn't quality. Stagnant, iso-heavy, little ball movement, heavy on simple pick n roll and handoffs, didn't free Dame up off the ball at all, etc.

It's time for some of you guys who gave me shit all goddamn year about giving Stotts "props" to criticize him for once. I gave Stotts props. I'm not afraid to do so, so quit refusing to point out the things he does bad. It wouldn't be an issue if I didn't have to hear about it all fucking year.

 

If the players cared half as much as the fans, games like this wouldn't happen.

 

Same.

 

No. It's obvious you are not paying close attention and just looking at numbers.

 

No offense, but if you haven't been paying attention you might not want to act like you know what the fuck you are talking about.

 

Look at the way we played in round 1 and the way we played the last 6 halves. Even though Dame went off (who knows if we even win without him turning into a GOD), our style of play was much better. Much more calm, focused, deliberate, aggressive, a lot more movement. Stotts orchestrated a GOOD offense in round 1.

Exact opposite the last 6 halves. So my opinion goes both ways.

 

There is a reason we are missing shots and they aren’t

They are getting an absurd amount of good looks and our offense is a disaster

 

Yes they were. Aminu was wide open 4 fucking times.
CJ was wide open for huge threes 2 more times.
Kater missed point blank shots.
Harkless was fed wide open looks multiple times.

Your tired mantra of trying to look more intelligent than an NBA coach is boring at best.

 

That's the average CJ. Occasionally he comes alive and takes over, but not often. That's why he's our best trading chip.

I turned it off after Murray went ape shit in the 2nd quarter when Stotts finally called a Timeout. This is only the 2nd game this year I've done that.

 

Do you even know what our motion offense is? You should look into it.

 

Dude go watch the game again. How much more open does Aminu have to be to make a shot?
For fucks sake? What the fuck are you watching here?

 

The refs are allowing them to be the aggressors, which is giving them tons of confidence.

 

That is ignorant on so many levels.

 

My Game 6 and 7 adjustments:

Start Collins and Hood:

Dame, CJ, Collins, Hood, Kanter

Sub pattern: Leonard in for Collins when Plumlee enters [Leonard guards Jokic and bangs him hard];

Rest Kanter (or Leonard) & Hood by bringing in Chief and Harkless;

Rest Dame for Curry;

Rest Dame for CJ

 

Do you know what OUR motion offense is?
Are you on the team?
Seriously you are way outta your league with me bro.
I'll clown ya. Stick with the haters and have a nice evening.

 

It's worse than ignorant.
It's people letting their emotion control their intellect.

 

That was only thing that encouraged me in the end of 3rd q - Damian hitting those 3pointers. I prefer him to try to hit them instead of pumfake 3s when no ones arond him. Refs fucked him badly and to be honest, if I was him, I would go home after they haven't call flagrand on Jokic when he grabed Lillard, show them finger on the way out and play in 3on3 league for fun. I mean, how much can you take and still go forward. It's good he put 2/9 tonite, as this lose was in the cards. This should give him more confindence to take deep 3s in next game in Portland and make them.
