Game Thread PLAYOFFS: ROUND 2, GAME 6: NUGGETS @ BLAZERS - MAY 9, 2019 - THURSDAY, 7:30 PM , ESPN

Great post. That’s how the crowd was at the game. Having fun and being positive. Don’t understand why this place gets so negative. This is supposed to be fun and we have a good team making our deepest run since 2000. Enjoy it.

 

Ok, lol.

 

I agree with your assesment - so why the heck does he have to play the thug?

 

dear labinot thank you for this post. This is biggest pain in Bosnian short history. That genocide in Srebrenica, even the Serbians made many more war crimes and genocides all over Bosnia. I survived the war, 4 years in blocked city (Sarajevo the Capital) with everyday shootings and killings al around us. But not to speak about thay memories, just wanted to say that yesterday was memorial day in our country and Nurk showed big sign of patriotism where he just mentioned the names of few of our heroes, who made a big part in the defense of our country and people.. i repeat Deffense as we were atacked by Serbians. Those people, not single one of them wasnt accused for anything relating any bad things. Serbian media of course do not like opposite defenders. and to add, this has nothing with Jokic, they are in good relationship and i am sure that Jokic is aware what his country done to Bosnia (and other balkan countries)... Nurk is a big and huge man.

 

It's weird that the Blazers had to play every other day until now also? Their series should have started first also. They gave those teams an extra couple days in their series.

 

I can't agree with this take bro.
Jokic is absolutely an awesome player. I can understand why he is getting noticed. The Blazers might have found that formula to deal with Milsap and Jokic but this has not been easy at all.

 

No question there.

 

You did! One of the few of us that kept the faith!

 

Yep this has been a very good season. From this point out i just can't find anything to complain about other than wishing the injuries didn't happen. Seriously how can people not like the desire and drive of a team that everyone was writing off on March 26th?

 

Is this dude for real

 

He's actually a really good guy. You should also appreciate the beauty of his footwork and his court vision. It's a testament to how good he is that they traded Nurk. They knew exactly what they had with him, but they also knew Jokic was special.

Don't get me wrong. I hate the Nugs because of their laundry, but I actually like most of their players individually.

 

HOOD IS GOOD

 

Aminu 17 min
Harkless 16 min
Zach 29 min
Hood 32 min

I give Stotts props for that. Not sure about Turner 19 minutes tho

 

Media coverage of this series is embarrassing.

 

I've gained a lot of respect for them as a whole through this series. Jokic can be annoying at times with flopping around and all that but he's a very unique talent. Murray's a good offensive player, Craig and Harris play their butts off on defense. Sure they did a tiny bit of showboating and stuff in game 5 but every team including the Blazers do that once in a while. I love how hard they play, they're well coached. Blazers and Nuggets might be heading into a good rivalry for a few years.

This has been a great series don't see any reason to disrespect them.

 

That's amazing

 

So, 6:30 is what I read now.

 

Yes; pocket it; Denver has the huge mile high home advantage; Portland has momentum and hopefully has realized Hood and Collins need to be used more. No edge. And you can't predict what Stotts will do.

 

I was wondering if it was Hastings that made the comment. That guy is a first-class jackhole. Scott Marlowe--their PXP guy is just as bad. Homers and whiners to the extreme.

 

I'd like to see how he performs against Nurkic before I give him too much credit.

So far he's been going against 1-armed Kanter and undersized Aminu.
