Game Thread PLAYOFFS: ROUND 2, GAME 6: NUGGETS @ BLAZERS - MAY 9, 2019 - THURSDAY, 7:30 PM , ESPN

The money I've won from the Scott Foster game and the @DEN game will all go straight on the Blazers for Game 6.

 

Looking for revenge.

 

Good grief. One, where would you play him considering our backcourt is better than he is. Two, he's killing Philly with his inability to shoot - and we have enough players with that problem.

 

He is 22 in his second year. And looked like a young Magic Johnson last year. You have him next to Dame/Nurk and bring in two knockdown shooters, you have a better shot in the playoffs than you do now. I think we can have him for relatively cheap (CJ + pieces)

 

I want tall, physical dudes who can overpower opponents. I'm tired of getting pushed around on defense and on the boards. Shooting is fixable.

 

Tickets prices dropped about 30% after last nights loss. $149 can get you behind the basket on the visitors side sec 107
300 level tickets for $60 + tax

 

They come out and drop a few shots and the Moda is ROCKIN!
There is no question in my mind this team wants to play game 7.

 

You mean like when we lost after being up 17 in game 4?

 

You SERIOUSLY have that viewpoint after watching last night's game?

 

Agreed. I saw a team roll over and die. We seemed perfectly OK with the idea that they are the better team. I saw absolutely nothing in the biggest game on the year.

I see no reason to believe that we even want to continue this series.

 

I saw this on twitter yesterday. My bad for thinking it was right.

 

I remember in playoffs where a team gets smoke like we did and come back and do the same back to them. But I see is a tired team in the Blazers and especially on defense. But we will see what there made come Thursday night.

 

But if I was Stotts I would maybe start Zach to play Millsap. You have to make adjustments and that one I would do. When he did match up with Millsap he did really good job. I dont think Millsap score on Zach. I Zach stuff him in the middle of the key one time. Plus looking at the stats for defense right now Zach is our best defender. Zach DBPM is 4.2 in the playoffs. Nurk last year was I believe 3.6 that how good Zach is on the defensive end this year in the playoffs.

 

Remember when players would guarantee wins? What happened to those days?

 

Maybe I'm a prisoner of the moment a bit here, but it really feels like the Blazers don't have anything left, which is disappointing but man they've put up a heck of a fight. I didn't get to see the 1st half last night but from all accounts, they came out flat, couldn't shoot, couldn't rebound, looked a step slow from the beginning. I saw the 2nd half and I saw a team that just looked like didn't have much fight left. It sounds like I'm being a downer, but I'm kind of ok with it. I hope they come out and look like a desperate team in game 6, but I'm not sure that's going to happen. I think the 2nd half of game 4 took the fight out of them, especially that they would play good defense for 20 seconds and Denver would still score or get a rebound and then score.

Glad I got to watch this Blazer team, they competed hard up until last night.

 

If I was an UBER driver, I'd hire myself to drive myself to NYC. You could actually get PAID to travel right?

 

what was the mood like on the plane? Curious to see if these guys have another fight in them.

 

This is the game the refs/league give us to help quash any “officiating concerns” by fans before really raw dogging us in front of a massive Saturday afternoon audience in a Game 7. I guess it’s too bad this whole thing is just a massive business to make money.
