    I personally was never worried. We won the opening tip. What are the odds that in a 7 games series the team that wins the opening tap wins that game.

    Right. I saw that opening tip and I said to myself Blazers win, then on the first possession the ball goes to Aminu.

    Did you forget that he's cold-blooded?

    I'm sure OKC and Paul George remembers. :devilwink:

    FANTASTIC!! This team is so incredibly special. Hats off to the whole organization. CJ was amazing and everyone did something to contribute. ET,ET,ET. Picked a great time to have his best game. But that performance sums up what this team is all about. "Each Other".

    I knew we would win this when Murray did a no-look pass after only two minutes, you don't do this type of BS in these type of game, they come back to haunt you.

    Just a fun quote from a Denver fan.


    Eric Rawnsley
    Congrats to the blazers, but this game got me starting to think the NBA needs serious reforms in officiating, or the league is fixed. One of the two. Touch fouls were called all game and at the same time the blazers fouled jokic every single possession. He was getting mauled out there. But I get it the, the blazers will make more money for the nba continuing on then nuggets so it's not surprising."

    Seriously if Aminu hits some of those shots he was wide open for they win going away.
    He could go for 30 or 40 easy if he hit wide open threes. But then they would guard him. Dame would then light em up for 40.

    Seriously.....did she even look at a box score? There were 2 fouls on Zach even the announcers called out as bogus. Reality is not their friend.

    a healthy 'better' team with HCA doesn't get beat by an injured worse team, not in a 7 game series

    Do we know what is up with Brian Wheeler? I hope he enjoyed the win today. Sad he can't be calling these games. Hope he gets well soon.

    How stupid can a fanbase be? They shot 15 more free throws than us. Like.... what the fuck do they want? 30 more free throws? 40? 50?

    How can they be so blind?

    Who's the one and only guy that at the beginning of the season seriously predicted Blazers would make the WCF'?

    They were in the bonus 3 mins into the third quarter. 3 minutes. How does that even happen?

    Like I mentioned before, I don't watch Nuggets game so I didn't know much about him before our series so that's why I don't get the frontrunning. Now, I did some research and I guess Lakers AND Celtics fans can't stand him. Uhhhhh okay lol?!?!?!
