    Overall majority of the team was bad but give the Nuggets some credit they came out establish how the game was going to go. Believe me am not Stotts supporter but the players did not respond tonight.

    Nuggets are missing 2 of their main guys. That’s sad

    The refs wanted denver to win. We can expect calls going our way at home. The NBA did not want to take chance that blazers sweep them. It just sucks how rigged nba is

    I expected Denver to come out with energy and win this game. But Portland was not prepared and not focused to win tonight. So disappointing.

    How much you want to bet that Terry makes zero adjustments after this game? He will just say that shots weren’t falling. No adjustments needed.

    Kudos to Denver coach, he benched Rivers and went to Morris instead. Must be nice having a coach who makes adjustments

    Disappointing loss.

    Blazers just didn’t bring the energy. Dame is the only player that looked like he had any urgency.

    Regroup and let’s get the next one.

    On to the next one. Terrible first quarter and it was all uphill from there. Dame tried to will them back in it but wasnt getting the calls and ran out of gas I think in the second half. Oh well. At least we stole home court advantage. Game 3 should be exciting.

    Kanter should not be in line up he is terrible in this series. Just trash. We need to play little instead. Or jefferson we need some interior defense we got nothing

    What's sad is I'd be fucking shocked if he did.

    5 turnovers. Awful fouls. Lost composure

    I wonder if Stotts and Kanter have been sharing a room this whole time...

    Also, 12 attempts is not enough playing a backup backcourt.
