    A lot of people will take Jokic over Dame. He is a first team All NBA talent. And they have quite possibly the deepest roster in the league.

    Well, a lot of people are fucking idiots.
    And sure, I'd take their depth over ours, but top talent almost always beats depth.

    Charles Barkley would argue with you. He says the Blazers have the best bench in the NBA>

    Hahaha - right? I love Chuck. But he's either REALLY RIGHT or REALLY WRONG, there's no in between with him. This is a case of him being REALLY WRONG. However, we're not far away from having a good bench. Getting rid of Turner and a healthy Nurk gives us a pretty damn solid bench. But until Turner is gone he's going to drag that group down to being worse than they should otherwise be.

    PUMPED! I am REALLY LOUD, though, so make sure you bring ear plugs! ;)

    An important sub-plot here will be the refs. The networks obviously don't want the Blazers to win games 3&4. That means the League doesn't want us to win. With the games being in Portland, how far will the refs go in favoring Denver?

    My prediction: one game they will keep it subtle and leave the door open for the Blaers to win if they are clearly better. The other game they will screw us into the ground and piss on our heads. It might be time to stop being polite and make the refs fearful of a riot!

    I'm not so sure the NBA wants the Nuggets ahead of us. Who is a more marketable star, Dame or Jokic? Dames already a bigger name and that shot vs OKC as well as Dames demeanor and the come back from a horrific sweep is a GREAT storyline. Hell Denver didn't even sell out game 2 of the SECOND ROUND and Boo'd there fucken team up 1-0 when they couldn't hit shot in the 2nd quarter.

    Unfortunately this is exactly what I expect.
    Terry better use his technical a lot better than he did in the OKC series (what a pitifully stupid time to get a T that was!).

    I just saw that the team wins game 3 has a 78% chance of advancing when the series is tied 1-1. The moda center is gonna be craaaszy

    The ESPN broadcasters for this game will be:

    Announcers: Dave Pasch (play-by-play), Doris Burke (analyst), Tom Rinaldi (reporter)

    Thank god we don't have to listen to McHale for a game. But he'll be back for Game 4, supposedly.

    I've called him over rated the whole time. I've been in the minority.
