Game Thread PLAYOFFS: ROUND 1, GAME 4: NUGGETS @ BLAZERS - MAY 29, 2021 - SATURDAY, 1:00, TNT & NBCSNW

That's because most of the people on Reddit are 12 and they didn't live through the 2000 WCF.

 

OK. First I would like to say that I do not live in my mom's basement. I did these calculations while watching Memphis-Utah. Starting beginning of game to this point in the thread, I counted 38 clearly negative posts and 96 clearly positive ones. (about 165 neutral). Most positive posts concerned Powell, quite a few for Nurk. Vast majority of negative concerned CJ, a few Stotts (not moves in this game, but just in general.) A guy named ????Sly Poker Dog seemed to have the most positive posts.

 

• Dame will get more than 2 FTs (7-7...even in what was a very poor game for him shooting wise)
• Nurk won't foul out (battled Jokic to one of the Joker's weaker playoff performances.)
• Austin Rivers won't be the best 10-day contract guy in the history of the NBA (8 points and was mostly irrelevant)
• Stotts won't use Kantor as much....but may/is allowed/should put him in at the end when we HAVE TO HAVE A REBOUND. (Kanter....mop up minutes when the game was well in hand.)
• Our defense will still be....well, meh, but we will "hit more shots" (Missed this one....one of their better defensive games)
• We will be more balanced and Dame/CJ won't continue taking 50+% of all the shots (Went from 51% of the shots in a Game 3 loss to 34% of the shots in a Game 4 win. Much better.)

And that little prognostication just went toward the down payment on a new SUV. Thank you Blazers!!

 

I thought he’d be raging against me still. Apparently I didn’t ‘flex’ on him hard enough

 

You never posted a picture of yourself holding an airsoft gun.

 

I agree he’s a good dude. Trust me I know. If he wanted he could ban anybody he wants for life. Sly, stay the same!

 

When he plays defense, he thinks he's a dog... but, he's really a pussy (cat)!

 

Dogs do like to sniff stuff?

 

Says one of the most negative posters on the forum. Didn't you create a thread saying this is the worst team you have ever seen or something?

 

you should ask Bobf or Mr. Bounce to put that in a chart or graph

so, disregarding the approximate 200 posts you didn't categorize (like Aldo saying "what'd I tell ya"; or Bones saying "drop coverage"; or Sly leg-humping somebody; or me babbling about how mean why wife is or what I'm drinking), which probably includes lots of shots at the officials, that leaves 299 posts.

And of those 299, less than 13% were negative....which certainly seems to counter the narrative by many that this place is mostly negative. Of course, to balance the 'survey' you'd need to do a count of game 2's game thread. Last night, the Blazers were in control almost all the way, and the Nuggets looked like a lottery team. The opposite for game 2. I'd be pretty certain that was more negative than game 4

game threads are emotional and reactive. fans!....what surprise!

 

Off topic, but all I have to see to have a problem with WAR is Jakob Poetl being a 6.8 and Nurk being 3.4. There's less gap between Poetl's WAR and Embiid's that Poetl's and Nurkic's. It's why even advanced stats are far from perfect.

 

....so he only took 10 shots. It’s something CJ needs to adopt
