Blazers vs Nuggets Round 1

[CEH]

I think Portland's done. They blew their wad last night after Lillard threw up so many hail mary 3s and score the final 17 (??) and still found a way to lose

Are you doing drugs again?! I thought you swore you would never do that again! Nuggets are starting a rookie G, who is the other starting guard again? Oh just a guy on no one‘s roster for over 2 months this year. They are giving significant minutes at guard to an undrafted two way player.

Band aids didn’t work, Malone is now using duct tape to hold this team together.

Which is why the Blazers won again last night. The Nuggets want it more - or more Nuggets want it than Lilliard does.

I really enjoyed the game last night - I think it was an NBA playoff classic. These two teams always seem to have an extra emotion attached when they play each other.

Figure this one out. Dame goes 1-10 and Nuggets lose. Dame hits 55 and Nuggets win.

portland wins the series in 7.

Your reverse Mojo expertise is perfect.

Now - if only @LGM's Lakers get eliminated tonight - I'm going to twist and shout.

It looks like a clean sweep for the Suns. But since the Nuggets can now have a full house in attendance , I’ll concede that the Nuggets will win one game.

Ayton has been as good a defender vs Jokic as anyone in the league. So the Nuggets lose their most important advantage. Also the Suns guards actually play D, unlike the Blazers, so the depleted Nuggets backcourt is in for problems. This is a series that Gordon will have to shine along with Porter (and with that name I don’t think it can happen) to have a chance.

Yep, Suns in 5 I’m afraid.
