    It doesn’t, but winning it is big.
    I’m with Eric on it...
    I’m not so sure it means that we win the chip
    But Denver is in trouble

    Denver shot 8 free throws. Thought the refs only screwed the Blazers!

    Blazers go into Denver and take Game 1 to go up 1-0 in the series. A big run at the end of the 3rd quarter set the tone for the victory. Come celebrate with the Blazers Uprise Post Game Show:

    Just like happens a lot of times that guys are in here crying conspiracy when we don't get many at the stripe, Denver just wasn't very aggressive at all and didn't force the refs to make calls. We'll see what adjustments they make. If the idea is that they can single cover Dame and have Joker single handedly outscore us... it's going to be a very quick and very painful series for the Nuggets.

    I kind of felt at the beginning of the game the team had a slow start because of the time off? Once they got going they played much better.

    They offered him the same money but he wanted to go to Detroit to be the focal point.

    I feel it. It’s gonna happen again!

    i was in 10th grade in ‘77 and was fortunate to be in attendance at each of the playoff home games. There was a magic in the air and I feel the magic again! We can do this.

    maybe if they get Barton back, they'd have a little better chance of squeezing Dame. But if this game is an indicator, the last time Dame had this much daylight in the playoffs, he dismantled OKC, literally

    Denver has no chance if they can't do more to stop Dame, and he didn't even shoot that well tonight
    --------------------------------------------

    I watched ESPN because I can't stand Kent/Hurd (although Vince Carter is hard on the ears and IQ as well). Anyway, all game long they were praising Jokic as the top player in the league. He's good, no argument. But at the end of the night, Jokic had 34 points on 27 shots; Dame had 34 on 25 shots. Joker had 16 rebounds; Dame had 13 assists. And Dame's team won by 14 on the road

    I don't know if Vince was too terrible, he definitely wan't great but he also seemed to have to answer questions from the PBP guy about who he played against and with throughout the entire broadcast. It may have been just as annoying for him as it was for us.

    Powell will win the Blazers a game in this series is what I'm thinking. His shots were there and he was playing tough. Just didn't make a few he could have this game.
