Game Thread PLAYOFFS: ROUND 2, GAME 2: BLAZERS @ NUGGETS - MAY 1, 2019 - WEDNESDAY, 6:00 PM, TNT

Man what a great win today but god we can’t be fucking around like that anymore. I’m glad Dame didn’t play well and we still won but you will never see Denver all at the same time not show up like they did today. We have to step on their throats and put it to no doubt but great win!

Wow Friday with the weather being absolutely beautiful and being tied 1-1 in the 2nd round with home court is going to be lit!

 

we can play so much better

 

I also am wondering if Turner gets suspended for Friday because he left the bench?

 

Man wouldn’t that be god send

 

If they suspend him, they have to suspend Murray.

 

Nobody should be suspended, there shouldn’t have been double techs either. Mucho ado about nothing.

 

LMAO

 

Just going to point this out.
With Portland up 15 entering the 2nd half.
The game felt super put away.

Not all games feel like that, but it did tonight.
Was odd.

 

I thought Jokic’s press conference was interesting and honest. He even talked about that they didnt play well, but said hey the Blazers didnt play well either.

 

That might be true but we are not the only team in the NBA, we've seen it many times teams blew a big lead because they couldn't handle the pressure. For example: The Rockets were up 15 or so at Oklahoma and they blew the lead and Paul George hit a game winning shot, Rockets fall from 3rd seed to 4th, imagine being a Rockets fan over the last few weeks haha. But then i remember that i hate the Rockets and their Fans, and i cant stop laughing about their bad luck

 

if ET gets suspended than Jamal Murray will be suspended too (I'd take that trade!)

 

Well the Nuggets never went on a big run, Portland answered and kept them at arms reach most of the 2nd half.

Theres a lot of ways to look at this. If you’re Denver you’re probably thinking we couldn't shoot, had a lot of rebounds and we kept it close we probably wont play worse.
Portlands probably thinking they wont win often with Dame having 14 points and not shooting well. We gave up a ton boards and still figured out how to get one on the road.

 

The only concern I have is Denver largely beat themselves tonight. Stotts made great adjustments, but they were missing wide open shots. We need to close out on their shooters better.

 

Great. 831 unread posts. This time, I may just take the win and run...... Lol

WOO HOO!!!!

What a win though!!!!!!!

 

*shrugs* the game just felt over at half time to me.

 

If Turner is suspended and Harkless is out, we would be awfully thin.

 

We beat ourselves in game one with the turnovers. It happens.

 

We were rusty and they were aggressive. Smart strategy by Denver against a team that hadn't played in a while.

We CAN'T lose home court. Winning at altitude is rare. They're beatable on the road. Our legs were gone in the 4th at 5280. We were gassed.

 

Man... listening to casual fans call into radio shows is super annoying. Their uneducated opinions just make you cringe.

 

Man that was like pulling teeth but I'll take it. Possibly the worst rebounding game of the year, not sure how they won.
