    I don't think Denver is afraid to play us, but if they were........


    They'd be Chicken Nuggets!

    Bada-bing.

    if they were in the Olympics and won first they'd be gold nuggets

    if they won because of the highest BBIQ, they'd be nuggets of wisdom

    if they had to change flat tires they'd be nuggets with lugnuts

    I will always choose Lillard over Jokic because of his clutch shot ability and range.

    I saw the headline of a Hollinger article on the Athletic. Seemed to indicate he picks Blazers over the Nuggets. Anybody care to post a synopsis?

    Thanks.

    I haven't been confident about a series since 2000, but i think the blazers are going to win.

    No excuse. We’re missing our starting power forward. With Collins, we sweep. Without him, we win in 5.

    If we win this series, it will be the 4th series Stotts has won without HCA. That would be seriously impressive.

    Good point. Lost the Pelicans series with HCA, I think that's it?

    Man, with way you talk up Collins as the starting PF, you'd think he put up Michael Porter Jr type numbers instead of (checks stats)...7 points and 6 rebounds and half a block per game.

    Well at least his defensive rating had to be off the charts, right?

    Oooh wait, it was 117.

    Well her PER must've been really high then.

    What? it was *below* 10?

    His WS/48 must've been well above league average (of .1), right?!

    Nope, it was .052

    I don't need to be an expert to say that if the Blazers lose this series you will 100% use not having Zach as an excuse.

    Just stop. He's played 11 games since he was designated the 'starter'. He hasn't shown that his presence makes a huge difference.

    It gets old. The first time it was funny, now it's like he's trolling people.

    That poster is a troll. I wouldn’t take him serious. He’s as objective as a mother is bias towards her first born

    I'll be at Ball Arena for Games 1 and 2 with my son screaming for the Scarlet & Black. Hoping the altitude doesn't play too big a role.
