    Win the game, win the series. 19 years since WCF. I never saw Portland this good. We have a chance against everybody, but man, if we had Nurk I would feel real good aboutt our chances going to the Finals

    Blazers win game 4, it is an almost guaranteed trip to the WCF. Lose game 4, Denver regains the home court advantage and probably rides the momentum to a series victory. Both teams are going to be tired and both are banged up - though Portland is probably the worse off in that department. Will Denver be POed they lost a game they could easily have won, or will they be disheartened? What marching orders will the refs have from the league, the networks (and the bookies)?

    Too many subplots! How can anybody predict what is going to happen?

    I think the treatments the blazers can get at home will do wonders compared to what the nuggets can get on the road. I think we can recover better and have a stronger fourth quarter in game four.

    We need this game. My spidey senses tell me that the NBA hopes for a long series and might give the Nuggets some breaks this game. Got to ignore the reffing and baller through this shit.

    Dude is amazing, and "ALL" about team and "Honor". He's gives the game nothing less than all he has to offer.

    The way the refs call the game last night to me they tried to give the game to them. Refs can't be that blind about how jokic plays on defense. You fouls majority of the times. One was when Jokic was battling Kanter on the block I counted at least 3 fouls they should have called a foul. Then later in the game Kanter falls down and they call foul on Kanter. Know bad about the NBA commissioner was sitting there watching this bull shit refereeing. I am not saying they didn't miss some on us for fouling them. But the ones I see Jokic getting away with these are right in front of the referee watching this want gets me.

    Welcome to the NBA. Blazers got some calls too. I’m just saying Blazers need to prepare themselves for lopsided calls, play better, and win

    Did Harkless re-injure his ankle also? Is his status still Questionable even though he played most the game last night?

    I been watching the NBA for awhile and I also know there about as they get. But it seems they get worse every year.

    Isn't the game on at 4? That's what it says on the Yahoo sports app.
