Game Thread PLAYOFFS: ROUND 2, GAME 3: NUGGETS @ BLAZERS - MAY 3, 2019 - FRIDAY, 7:30 PM , ESPN

I figured that you would dig that. Haha. We might all disagree on politics in OT, but we all love the Blazers. There is no questioning that. Gotta have fun with your wording every once in a while.

 

I’ve got that exact jacket. It’s an old starter.

 

I have no problem with the way Jokic plays. It's the playoffs, man up. I say fight fire with fire and send Meyers out there and make sure he gives Jokic the hardest 6 fouls of his life in game 4. Beat on Jokic and get him gassed.

 

Wow.....from the Nuggets SB Nation blog comment section with the dirty Chokic arm throw:

That one actually got liked into a highlighted comment....

Seriously, I hope we wipe the floor with these assholes. CJ needs to drop 60 on them next game.

 

Only thing I'll say about the elbow to Kanters shoulder is this.
I bet you the Nuggets players believed he flopped into Craig's facemask.
Therefore you had to figure they'd at least test his shoulder a couple times.
The fact that the refs didn't call anything I don't know if I agree or disagree.

I do think three times is bush league though.

Also I've never been boxed out, or boxed out people with my elbows first.
Maybe Jokic is fundamentally unsound.
I don't see him box out enough to be a fair judge of that.

 

I blame Harden for this shit. He's created a bubble of conspiracy over the entire league to where everyone calls something/someone a flop/flopper, regardless of whether or not you actually get hit or shoved. Fuck that bearded cunt.

 

We'll destroy him in WCF

 

I had to apologize to my sister that the game was going into Quadruple Overtime. I dont think she understood.

 

Dewey defeats Truman

 

OH MY GOD!!!

I couldn’t watch the game live, but I‘ve just finished watching the replay.

WTF JUST HAPPENED?!?!?!

This game will go down in the annals of basketball history as one the best games ever!

When all of us here are long and dead, people will still be re-living this game.

It is a privilege to be a part of something so epic.

 

Enes Kanter is a warrior! He showed such fortitude, and determination. He fought through injury, and pain.

CJ McCollum was a stone cold killer tonight. He was Dame like with his clutchness.

Kudos Will Barton! Best game of his career? I love “Will the Thrill”, but I found myself cursing him multiple times tonight.

Rodney Hood. What can I say? Obviously we don’t get this win without the contributions everyone provided, but his fresh skipping legs gave us the energy, and execution we needed to get over the line. Awesome job Rodney, and great call Stotts to put him in the game.

 

There was an extremely audible, skin-on-skin SLAP! when Kanter tried to make a layup at the halftime buzzer.

If the refs make that clear call there, the game would have finished at full time.

 

HOOD HOOD HOOD HOOD


CHOKIC

 

Ignoring everything else, I reckon if Jokic was as fit as he should be, Denver would have won that game.

As a Portland fan, I don’t care. But if I was a Denver fan, I would be furious with his lack of commitment to get into his best game shape possible.

 

That is a tough one for me. I usually hate the total decisive beat downs in a playoff series because it is more embarrassing and the losing team often comes back with more intensity and determination not to have it done to them again , while the winning team gets over confident. Zero data to back that up but I am hoping Denver peaked with this loss. Probably not though as they play really intense defense on every play. They are much better team than OKC. This is another war. got to win on Sunday. I have grown to hate these guys
