Game Thread PLAYOFFS: ROUND 1, GAME 3: NUGGETS @ BLAZERS - MAY 27, 2021 - THURSDAY, 7:30, NBATV & NBCSNW

The blazers played well enough to win this game. But still getting out coached because our coach is so stubborn. We should handle this team easily but Stotts shoots the team in the foot.

 

Cringe

 

When 3 of your 4 best players are 6'3" or under, you've got to do abnormal things. Roster make-up has been and will continue to be the main issue.

 

There is a reason Dame stopped driving as much. He never got the critical call.

 

chip?

come on man

 

I might be down for Becky Hammon. There are some serious basic fundamentals missing from the way we play. If Pop trusts her she’s most likely 100X better than Stotts.

 

It took 75 games for Stotts to realize that Kanter has tough minus stretches…

 

no shit you fucking moron. we were all screaming that kanter should be benched this series after game 1.



Took you three games, and EVEN THEN you brought him back in in the 2nd half. Were it not for his egregious flagrant, you would have kept the same rotation. goddamnit would someone please put this idiot out of his misery

 

I'm just saying, I'd love for it to happen. I haven't soured so badly on Stotts that I would rather not have a chip so I could see him go. Now, I want him gone really badly but if we could put together some Cinderella magic run shit, I'd be all for it.

My prediction stands at us losing this series in 6 and like I said, if we lose on Saturday we'll probably be gone in 5.

 

I want Becky Hammon to succeed... pairing her with a Neil Olshey roster seems like a horrible idea.

 

Liked what RHJ brought but apparently he had minute restrictions..

 

Subbing in Kanter in the first half at the 5:00 mark is when everything went to hell. Guarantee he does the same thing in Game 4 again, thinking this time it’s gonna be different.

 

I agree... he should've put in that other solid defensive big on our roster...

 

This is why Nurkic still plays hesitantly and tries to avoid contact at times. That injury was a catastrophic one that is more difficult to recover psychologically than physically.

 

I only repeat my points to people who are repeating theirs. Seems fair to me.

 

I can hope that our perception of Neil's relationship with ownership is just as flawed as his approach to managing a team. I feel like it would make perfect since for Vulcan to call Neil whenever the season is over and when Neil says that he is ready to let Terry go McGowan tells him that if that's the solution now it should have been the solution after the NOLA sweep and McGowan fires Neil right then and lets the new GM fire Terry. I'll just keep that dream alive while I can.

 

Stotts is gone. That I’m sure of, and that’s better than any first round win. I’d rather lose to jokic than watch Lebron and AD roll around on the court and go to the line 30 times a game.

 

...can't make this shit up!

 

Tough loss....too many empty possessions, no free throws...foul trouble....get the next one! Dame and Melo made big shots....otherwise pretty much a clank fest shooting
