Game Thread PLAYOFFS: ROUND 2, GAME 4: NUGGETS @ BLAZERS - MAY 5, 2019 - SUNDAY, 4:00 PM, TNT

But but but..........HE'S ONLY 21!

Don't you know that 7-foot tall players start hitting layups when they're in their mid-20s?!

 

Another thing nobody is realizing is Denver doesn’t give a fuck about this series. It’s all an investment for them. But us we need this and much more...

Denver doesn’t even have our fan base but we still can’t use our own home court advantage..

Fuck the nuggets

 

Hahaha what the actual hell are you talking about?

You think Denver doesn't care about this series? Are you serious?

Yikes.

 

Yes he did. They absolutely tried to get Curry the ball in the second half. Watch the game again. Denver doubled Curry the second he got the ball. Curry however didn't pass well out of the double and when he did, the open look was missed.
That is not on Stotts or Curry. Just the way the game went.
Portland got destroyed in the third Quarter because of fouls and missed shots.

 

Nurkic...?

Zach shot over 64.3% from 0-3 feet this year, which matches Nurkic's career high. Nurkic shot 60.3% from that range this year.

I just gotta be honest: You sound like a hater...

 

People act like winning in Denver is impossible but Blazers won game two much more easily than game three. When you think about it they have not had much home court advantage this series.

 

Problem is, I feel like we don't have enough sets to free 3pt shooters. I feel like it's predictable after a while. I feel like we have too many sets that weave into handoffs/pick n roll and not enough creativity in terms of off-ball movement to free space.

 

Zero but he only shot the ball twice. He is doing other things on the court and i am pretty happy about that actually.

 

I totally agree. But i also see that both teams are fully capable of winning this series. It's been so close every game. I don't expect it to be any different for game 5.

 

like what

 

I know you have a hard on for the kid, but try and pay attention, Bones.

And it's not being a "hater" to see that the hype on him is not only misplaced, but that he wasn't worth a #10 pick. In fact, NO project should EVER be a top-10 pick.

 

We will win the next game.

 

I can say the exact same thing about the game today. You will not see 3-13 shooting from 3 point many times from three of Portland starters. Aminu 1-4, Harkless 0-2, Lillard 2-7

 

I wouldn't say that.

 

I hate when people say "project". Its too vague and doesnt accurately reflect anything. He was a very solid contributor off the bench for a playoff team and isnt even 21 and a half yet. Most "projects" wouldnt be at that point. And this is despite the fact that he still needs to add 20 lbs of muscle, which will be a huge help to his game.

 

How about 4 rebs, 2 assists that should have been 4 or 5. A block that didn't get counted on the box. He locked down Milsap twice and caused two turnovers. One should have been called a steal but it was more of a deflection. +4 while on the court but i really hate that stat. However collins, Curry, Hood and Turner were all positive plus minus.

 

It's been two years. What's the hold up?

 

To that response i simply say.... Watch game five my friend. Watch game five.

 

whoop dee doo.

i saw a guy who stared a wide open 10 foot shot in the face and quiver at the thought of shooting it. he shouldnt see a second of time on the floor.

 

Still haven't read all the comments but what the fuck does Rodney Hood need to do to get some more touches? The guy is on fire this series and we get him 4 shots?
