    I hate the way the announcers love to jok on his ic all game game long like it's made out of marinated kebab meat. But dude is a really cool player. Has a similar skillset to old man Sabonis (post injuries).

    Not wierd at all. The GS/Hou games have been the highest rated. Theyll get the prime time game.
    I'm guessing that the Den/Port has better ratings than Tor/Philly. Thats why the game time will be TBD until tomorrow night

    No way is game 7 a sure thing but how awesome would it be to host the West finals vs Houston. Heck even to face the Warriors with Durant missing a few games possibly. Without Durant, we match up with them nicely because they have no depth unlike the previous two times they spanked us.

    Nikola saying at the end of his press conference how nice it is to see Nurkic walking and doing well, was a pretty legit nice thing to say.

    Reporter to Jokic - "as far as containing Rodney Hood in game 7"

    Who the fuck would have guessed anyone would utter that sentence going into this series?

    Damn..... Jokic just basically stopped his interview to say that he's happy to see Nurk up and around.

    I just can't like the guy though.

    Zach back back to back 14 points. Now your seeing your power forward next year line up beside Nurk. He has show he can guard power forwards and has done job on Jokic too.

    They're typically middle aged men who have already made significant gains and plateaued. Zach was a teenager not too long ago.

    ...so, apparently, Hoodie Melo was in attendance tonight :dunno: I guess he was destined to help Portland win in the playoffs after all!

    Jokic gave insightful answers in his presser - between him, Dame, and CJ, there are some very smart players in this series.

    Great win by the home team! Hopefully the advantages we exploited so well today can get us a win on Sunday!

    If you tell me before season started that we just need one win, one game to get to the Western Conference Finals. I’ll take our chances, we are going there and win it.

    We’re so focused on the series itself that we forget what we’re looking at... we’re looking at Zach Collins literally get better as a player with each playoff game. Something about the playoffs that teaches you a little something.

    The way he plays “old”, he’s going to be going strong at 40.
