    We need a power forward...... and we have needed a power forward since LMA left.

    What the fuck Neil?

    What the hell has happened to Curry. He has not been aggressive at all in the play offs.

    Be nice if Portland stopped dropping passes. Has happened too often this year especially late in the season.

    Nards needs to roll when he sets a screen for Lillard or cj.
    Ignore what Turner said to him.
    Nards was killing me by just setting q screen and standing

    We was sloppy at the end of the half. Melsap owning Aminu. We have get off picks and this is not the same defense we play against OKC.

    If Aminu was open on the three, then Harkless should have slashed to the basket. Somebody should have; there was a lot of room there.

    Aminu was open when Lillard drove, Lillard didn't have an angle when he was almost trapped up top the first 5s of the drive.

    Turned it over too much, stopped moving without the ball in the last 90 seconds of the half.

    On the positive side, I like the pace. I think one of the keys to this series will be fatiguing Jokic. The Nuggets were so reliant on him in the previous series. If we can tire him and make these games come down the last six minutes, I like our chances a lot more.

    So Portland has fouled Denver 8 to Denver 7 fouls, but they have 10 more Free throws in the first half. Dang, between that and turnovers, that is all that is keeping Denver in the game.

    Turner got some nice rebounds but I’m still baffled as to why he plays over Layman.

    He had a dunk heading down the lane until he fumbled that pass from Dame.

    I'm all for trying to pry Love away from Cleveland for cheap. 1st round pick, salary relief for his bloated ass contract?

    Turner has the power to kill Curry's rythim, we need to bench him for the rest of the series.

    Give Curry the ball and bring Layman in instead of Turner.

    Bad end of the whistle and a couple stretches of awful decision making.

    Considering that, not in a bad spot.

    Seemed like Denver made a lot contested floater range shots. Both teams only had brief stretches of active defense.

    Feel good about our chances to steal this one.
