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

Adjustments or no adjustments? We'll tackle whether the comments by Stotts are justified, a case of keeping his plans secret, or if we should be concerned that he doesn't seem to think there should be. Let us know what you think in chat!

 

Whatever you do, please don’t say guarantee on our game Chuck.

 

If they're going to continue with Aaron Gordon on Dame, I'd like to see some more off ball actions to make Gordon have to chase rather than be disruptive at the point of attack.

Obviously have to take care of the ball better and communication is going to be big and transition defensively with all the cross matching that'll be on the floor.

Nurk is also going to have to make Jokic
work more defensively. I know we don't really use them much this way, but I'd like to see him used more as rim runner off misses. Opportunity for potential mismatches and also getting Jokic in foul trouble. I do agree that he's better used as a drag screener in transition, but I think we need to see this sprinkled in from time to time.

Got to guard the ball way better. It's been an issue all year and Denver let us off the hook game 1 (23 drives versus 40 in game 2). Thought we showed a little bit more help on Jokic in game 2 so that led to some of that, but these are short closeouts a lot of the time so there's really no excuse to give up the amount of penetration we did.

Liked the start Powell had on Michael Porter in game two. I thought he was really physical at the point of the screen off the ball and blew up some of their actions. Got to recognize their early rotations defensively and find him weakside. Like we've seen too many times before, when Denver ratcheted up the pressure on the ball, we often tried to beat it with the dribble rather than the pass. The opportunities are there to get to threes and drive kick going if the ball changes sides.

Pump to see what the atmosphere is going to be like tonight. Wish I could be there.

Go Blazers

 

Damn right. Critical Thinkers who do their own full research

 

No, credulous people who prefer conspiracy web sites to actual data. People who do real research developed the vaccines.

 

Please Win, Don’t go to OT as we don’t have Rodney Hood to save us

 

kendrick perkins with some truthful words on how terry stotts uses nurk

stephen a smith was also somewhat right

 

Yes they should but certain players get more up in front of there own crowd.

 

PLEASE LEAVE

 

I am starting to feel agitated. An hour to go. I want a boring fucking 30 point Blazers blowout.

But any margin of victory is acceptable.

 

Just photoshop ur name onto a vaccine card and show the digital version as evidence you’re vaccinated, easy enough. 8,000 fans is pathetic, should be double that

 

mods not giving a damn

smh

 

Siick!

 

Let’s go blazers!!!

sly part of the mainstream media smh
