    Struggled his way to 2-1 up without arguably our second best player.

    Do the blazers want the season to end?

    We aren’t losing this game because of the refs. We are losing because of one dimensional specialists like Aminu, harkless, and Curry. Denver’s offense looks like a well oiled machine. All their players can shoot and even though they have no shot blockers they have guys at the rim even when our guards get thru the double on the pick and roll . Nobody is worried about Aminu and Harkless and turner on offense. Curry no shows anytime someone is physical with him.

    I was talking to my Pistons guy earlier and he said he would do this:

    ET, Leonard, Collins, 2019 25th pick, and 2020 1st (lottery protected) for Blake Griffin

    OKC was a horribly overrated team, and their best player was hurt, and their franchise player is a fucking head case who can't make a shot.

    They are NOTHING like Denver. Denver would have wiped the floor with them too.

    With the way this series has gone I wouldn’t be shocked if we make a run here, get it to 8 going into the 4th and I think a young team will start to get tight.

    This is stupid. Nobody is blaming Dame but it's okay to say someone is playing one of their worst playoff series to date. Good lord some of y'all are such sunshine pumpers.

    I have the Blazers in 7 and since we’re not going to lose at home again, this is the loss. Relax guys. We’re good.

    Giving up Collins would hurt... especially with Blake’s injury history and contract.

    Why not go after Murray on the defensive end every time like they do with Milsap? Murray got 2 fouls in the 1st quarter, 0 points...

    Sorry but that's nonsense. Not having our second best player is not Stotts' fault. Not having our second best player makes coaching a lot harder, especially in the playoffs, and he's managed to have this team do pretty damn well, considering the circumstances.

    and, you prove yourself a liar because just a couple of pages ago you said that you "love Dame". Somehow you're going to try and find a way to blame Dame for Denver's 1st half. Your love sucks

    I’ve noticed that they bring a double on Murray’s man.

    Collins and Meyers need to play and be given the green light to shoot 3 after 3 with the way Denver is guarding us and the way Aminu is playing offensively.

    He had 39 game one. I don’t care about Dame’s stats. Winning is what matters.

    I agree. Aminu is about as good of a three and D small forward as you can get for what we are paying him. Asking him to play PF is asking against milsap an jokic is to much.

    I never thought I'd say this after what he did to us but this series makes me miss LMA and all of those rebounds that just fell into his lap.

    I don't have a major problem with Stotts but it would be nice to take away his crutches. It's time for this team to take the next step however we need to.
