How do you feel about home-and-away series during the regular season?

Poll closed Apr 11, 2019.

  1. Love 'em. The competition/rivalry is more fierce & fun playing 2 straight against the same team.

    18.4%

  2. I like 'em. It adds some intrigue and interest to an otherwise long season.

  3. Meh. No opinion either way

    22 vote(s)
    44.9%

  4. I don't really like them. They don't add much to a regular season game.

    6.1%

  5. Hate 'em. I don't like seeing the same team again so soon. And these seem to always end in a split.

    Undersized? Strength wise...yes maybe slightly.

    But Millsap doesn't win with his size / strength. He wouldn't be nearly as effective for as long as has if that was case.

    And he torched every guy we threw at him. Aminu made it the toughest on him of all and it wasn't even close.

    It's an account from a poster who was here long before you joined, and has a reputation for trolling fans only when Damian is having bad games. There's a reason why that account was banned, just as there's a reason why people reacted the way they did.

    I thought Harkless did better then Aminu on Millsap.

    Milsap is about 6'7" and only had half the rebounds Aminu had tonight. I am not sold that Aminu's size is the issue. Was he really muscling him down low with his weight? Either way Aminu is a not the answer at SF. I much prefer him at the 4 against most teams. Hark did not have a good game either IMO.

    Cj was missed tonight. To win tough road games you need someone to get hot and put up 30 besides Dame. Not saying CJ would have, but we all know that sometimes he does. Relying on Hark and Chief won't cut it.

    Disagree.

    And he's also smaller than Aminu, so my point still stands.

    Defending him with size is not the answer.

    I get it, and he probably is Tunchi I said after his 4th post... I just think why let him stick around to begin with he’s gonna troll and be trolled. Not my place to make that decision, just seems like in this case he wasnt the one who really started getting personal until a bunch of posters started trolling him right back.

    I think Harkless has a stronger base and made it harder for Millsap to get to the spots on the floor he wanted to get too. He kind of pushed Aminu around, now Aminu has really good lenth and uses it well, but Millsap was basically getting whever he wanted too.

    You still have the fact the Paul Milsap scored 25 points got 7 rebounds and was 9-12 shooting in this game. He led the Nuggets in scoring for this game. They need to adjust Sunday and that adjustment better be giving Aminu help or to get a bigger body on him.

    My bet is Stotts will go either with Harkless or maybe figure out a way to get Turner in front of him. Aminu was getting crushed. Multiple times i watched Milsap just blow through him.

    He has 0 leeway. He shouldn't even be allowed to come back, technically. So when he starts shit-posting on Dame and complaining about no calls for the Nuggets, then that's what's gonna happen.

    Im sure he blames me instead of himself.

    Lets see how the first half goes. I am fine with letting Zach close the game if PM is eating Aminu up.

    Milsap just had a great game - he'd been in a slump and was due. We've defended him fine before.

    Ok, I can buy he has 0 leeway, but why cant he post bad things on Dame or no calls on the Nuggets thats not exactly breaking forum rules... Its annoying sure but its a stretch imo to say he broke the rules for whats allowed here (at least tonight).

    I mean ultimately I dont really care, Im not sure why Im posting about it. Other then I thought in some ways he was right, if Dame scores at his normal rate they probably win.

    They built a lead despite Dame’s abysmal play. He was 3-14 shooting.

    The bigger worry to me on Sunday is that Barton and Harris went 3 -16 tonight (0-8 from deep) You know that won't continue.
    Of course neither will Dame's 3-14

    My guess is CJ and Seth play, Portland wins. Unfortunately this means Blazers will either be 4th or 5th.
