Game Thread PLAYOFFS: ROUND 2, GAME 4: NUGGETS @ BLAZERS - MAY 5, 2019 - SUNDAY, 4:00 PM, TNT

Tried that in the last minute for some success. Might be onto something

 

Missed free throws

Poor rebounding

Yes, poor officiating

Frustrating - needed tonight!

Must win Game 5

 

Harkless has to stay out of foul trouble. He has been the only player to slow Murray. Once he ends up off of Murray or out of the game we get torched because Murray , jokic, and milsap are all mismatches for them offensively. As a result we have to help and it just so happens the last two games Will Barton is hitting shot after shot.

 

You have to overcome adversity to win a championship. This is ours. We’ve been 2-2 on road in playoffs. We can get one more in Denver.

 

god damn that is a stupid fucking post. Dame is shooting 84% on FT's in the playoffs. Yeah, it's not as good as the regular season, but at least he's fucking getting to the foul line. He's made 61 FT's in the playoffs. CJ & Kanter are next at 23 each. Dame has made 15 more FT's than those two combined

 

If anyone could. Portland is embarrassing itself giving up offensive rebounds. There have been Denver possessions where they get two or three offensive rebounds. A small lineup only works if they can box out and effectively gang-rebound...Portland can't, it seems.

And Zach Collins isn't really providing anything. A couple of nice blocks, but he's a non-entity on offense and not really doing much on the boards.

 

Man, stop it.

 

I'm not saying that as the players did their job too. Stotts definitely deserves criticism for not getting looks for Seth as he was cooking, but I also saw hero ball from our backcourt, giving up WAYYY too many rebounds, missed FTs, Harkless not showing up, etc. That's not ALL on Stotts as your second post points out. Players shit the bed too.

I for one don't think the series is over because it's quite possible to win another one in Denver.

 

It is pretty unreasonable to be bitter considering we got to watch an incredible first series, and at worst will have gotten to watch 6 games in the WCSF..especially considering losing Nurk and Enes being banged up


At the same time im extremely bitter because we just had a team coming off a heartbreaking loss on the ropes at half time and we came out and played one of the worst quarters of basketball we've played all season. I do not see us winning in Denver again. Not with these officials, not with how they are defending Dame

 

Fuck Scott Foster. /

 

For all those saying Dame is bad... dude is facing so much pressure from the Nuggets defense and is still averaging 27 PPG... he isn’t backing down, his shot is also bound to start falling more consistently again.

 

I’m praying for it.

 

Warriors went 16-1 one postseason so I call BS.

 

Could we please loosen the fucking rims at hte Rose Garden? How many of those boards were because they caromed off the fucking rim and flew back out to the perimeter.

 

stupid post CC

 

This. Stotts has lacked the ability to call DT on ANY good opponent. It's my biggest complaint against him, among many. He should be fired just on that alone.

He won't. He'll leave Murray wide open. Time and time again.

 

Remember that rebound Hood catch it then Jokic stole away from him? Or the one where Hood and Aminu jump into each other? Or the one where Jokic pushes Zach and gets 2pts. Seriosly, figure it out Stotts.
