Game Thread GAME# 72: NUGGETS @ BLAZERS - MAY 16, 2021 - SUNDAY, 6:00, NBCSNW

If Lakers lose then Portland slides into 5 seed to face Clippers. That’s the doomsday scenario.

 

Could not have ended much better for Portland.
Take a few days off Blazers!

 

There is still time in the Mavs game too, cant trust this trash Timberwolves team until it’s over

 

Now we can all talk about Playoffs… Playoffs

 

Only thing needed now is for @GrandpaBlaze to figure out who gets the May cookies.

 

Hell yeah! Longest playoff streak in the league! 8 straight! Great job team! Got it done! Get some rest...everybody is 0-0 after this game going forward! Bring on the competition!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Look like we playing Denver next week. It be a good time off for some of these guys.

 

@AldoTrapani is gonna give us hellfire and brimstone if we lose to the Nuggs in the 1st round.

 

Why is Hurd playing dumb?

 

Sure did look like the Clippers absolutely do not want to play the Blazers.
They didn’t even try to win that game. Left time outs on the board and didn’t contest those last two shots.

 

Makes no difference if the Mavs win. They are locked into 5 seed now (assuming a Lakers win).

 

They are division champ

 

Or they absolutely didn't want the Lakers in the second round.

 

they wanted to avoid the Lakers til round 3.

 

Lakers vs Warriors, I hope that game go to 6th Overtime

 

Good one! I don’t think they give a fuck about the Blazers. This is all about avoiding the Lakers as long as possible. They wouldn’t see the Lakers til the WCF now. The Blazers are the least of their worries.

 

I think knocking out the best teams early is great in the playoffs....get em while you're fresh and healthy. I don't care who we play in the first round....game's on!

 

i just hope they don't have us playing Sunday. I'm making my move to Oregon that day and won't have a TV or internet that day

Connecting thru Denver for my flight too. Should be fun if we get a Saturday game 1 and we win.

 

If the Lakers win then it is a three way tie. Dallas gets the first tie breaker because they're division champs and will be the 5th seed. We will get the second tie breaker because of head to head and be the 6th seed and the Lakers will get the 7th spot and play-in.

 

Nooo I actually think we have a good chance. But clippers would have demolished us!
