Series Thread: 2nd Round: 3) Portland vs. 2) Denver

[PickleRick]

Lmao...Lilard almost hit that full court shot!

 

[PickleRick]

So happy this is the last 1030 pm start of the season. I be struggling to stay awake

Its rough in the mornings for sure....

Lillard goes off. 69% from 30+ feet in the playoffs is just stupid

 

[Duffman]

Looks like Portland has this one.

I went to bed and missed the 30 point or so comeback. Ill never shut off a playoff game early again.

To be honest it looks like Portland is playing their heart out and Denver is taking it easy and resting until game 7. I wouldn’t say this game is indicative of anything as Denver knows they can play it easy while Portland is gassing themselves for game 7.

 

[PickleRick]

Barton is an idiot.

 

[broncosmitty]

Soccer has better displays of manliness.


And Jokic just stands there, looking for someone that wants the ball.

 

[broncosmitty]

All that garbage and he barely even moved. Lol

 

[PickleRick]

Damn, Barton seemed to be the legit instigator...hate that cheap cop out double tech shit.

 

[PickleRick]

Jesus CJ and Lil are lethal.

Curry esque

Tonight. At home. Not so lethal game 5. Changes game to game for most.

Only fitting...both WC series will go 7

Only fitting....both WC series will go 7

You forgot to add the word IF between the words "fitting", and "both".

So far it's only Portland @ Denver in the WC.

We'll know by Friday night IF GS avoids a game 7 or not.


BTW: IF the GS-Houston series goes 7, then there will be *3 game 7's on Sunday.

*Philly @ Tor. / Hou. @ GS/ Port. @ Den.

Even though ahead at half, I thought Portland would lose. Denver was doing all the little things right- offensive rebounds, following their shots, protecting the ball... But Portland shot well in the second half and it's on to game 7.

Needless to say, the Nuggets should be a heavy favorite.

2 days off between game 6 and game 7....and if the Warriors lose today, that game is likely at 730 PM local time.

Hard to gas yourself out when you have 2 full days off....they'll be fine

Heavy? Probably 4-5 point favorite

I am not confident at all that Portland wins game 7 in Denver.

I just have this sense that Portland's game 7 goes a lot like game 5 did. There is going to be major hype for the game and they will choke.

They probably lose but i think it is a close low scoring game similar to game 2
