    I was responding to a comment that said “whoever plays defense first wins the series” with a comment that equates to “not really, we can sleep walk thru this series and win because of the talent difference.”

    TBPup made a similar comment.

    Good bench scoring and maybe a perfect game for dame.

    It pisses me off that the NBA allows players like crapazzo to be that physical with dame.

    Yeah, unfortunately they were approaching a 180M roster so something had to give.

    We played disciplined ball. We frustrated them all night with our defense. They came out and let Dame get what he wanted (I guess they didn't get the memo that you beat us by taking Dame out of the game in the playoffs). So, if they're going to play like this going forward, this should be a very quick series. I have a feeling they'll make adjustments though.

    Announcers as the final seconds tick off: "If this game is any indication, it's going to be an exciting series."

    ... the Blazers won by double figures. On the road. The Nuggets couldn't have played much better than they did in the first half.

    If this game is any indication, it's going to be an exciting, lopsided sweep. Good grief, talk about going far trying to push a narrative.

    All those who were crying

    I don't want to hear "I knew we were going to win" or any of that. Have more faith in your team.

    Hey Aaron Gordon really looks like the X factor huh Kevin O’Connor lol stupid ass bitch.

    The nuggets need Barton the most because if either jokic or Porter are off they have no chance.
