Game Thread PLAYOFFS: ROUND 1, GAME 5: THUNDER @ BLAZERS - APRIL 23, 2019, TUESDAY, 7:30 PM, TNT & NBCSNW

If Denver closes out San Antonio in game 6 when will game 1 of the 2nd round be played?

 

Conversely, I feel that the replays of the Trail Blazers broadcast are far superior to the national broadcast.

Unlike the national broadcast, the cameras chosen get right in there, and show you what really happened.

I don’t know if @ThePosterFormerlyKnownAsTheHCP or the director or someone else chooses those cameras, but whoever it is, is doing a great job.

 

Aww Kevin and Lamar just said that it’s Director Jeff Curtin’s birthday tomorrow. Now I feel a little guilty.

Happy Birthday Jeff! What better present than the game we just witnessed?

@ThePosterFormerlyKnownAsTheHCP please also let Jeff know that we don’t hate him, we just disagree with some of his decisions.

 

At the start of the fourth quarter, Kanter with 11 was the only Trail Blazer apart from Lillard in double figure scoring.

Considering they both finished with 17, CJ and Mo really stepped it up in the last quarter.

 

The only dark side of the night were the bench guys: Hood, Collins and Turner.

MAN, were they awful? i felt SO BAD FOR LILLARD in that moment, as soon as he took a breather those guys were ruining his masterpiece.

Every time the possession starts with Turner with the ball we run out of clock or we end up losing the ball
Collins has bad hands, everytime he gets the ball he seems like he has a hot potato
Hood is Mr. inconsistent, he seems like a very emotional guy

I think Layman deserves more minutes, he can give us those easy baskets those three can't.

 

Curry with some great D in the fourth.

 

yeah Curry is the one we can count on, no doubt he's the keeper this offseason instead of Hood.

 

That's all they've been doing all series

 

OKC lead by 8 with 3:15 left when Nurk entered the building.

 

CJ also waved goodbye to OKC.

 

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say no way has anyone done it twice

 

It’s just as good watching it the 20th time.

I’m still in a sort of dazed, elated, confusion.

I just can’t fully process what happened.

 

So now people aren't allowed to have emotions without the fear of being mocked?

 

Have you not watched recently? Everyone has been saying it.

 

Irrationally blaming the officials......never seen that before

 

heeeey! you must be fun at parties

 

Thing is, with they way Rodney is playing we can probably keep him with his non-bird rights.

 

Collins has been the best put of the 3, and brings the most defensively. He had a good game in game 4.

 

I am

 

I still haven't fully digested that shot yet and I've easily seen it a 100+ times now. Maybe when I get some rest and get off this high.
