Going to be tough to come back from this.

I think it's time the 3 point line was moved back and there was no such thing as a corner 3 anymore. The entire NBA has become "Which team is hotter from 3".

I swear Denver is the most bi-polar team in the league they can look like trash or the best team in the NBA all in the matter of one game.

Porter JR is gonna be a superstar, he makes or breaks this team as much as jokic

Nothing more annoying than ticky tacky fouls being called one way.

Cheap ways? You get what the repeater tax is, right?

also we're getting so many good looks but just can't get them to fall. If we keep our composure, we can potentially make a run.

Not aiming for signing gtj is the ultimate cheap move

GAry wants 15+ million dollars. Portland wants to keep Powell, who apparently wants the same. Gary at this stage is not worth that as he's inconsistent and as much as he's a dawg, he's not good on defense. Portland needs to win now. We have 70 million or so tied up in our two guards. Putting in 15 million to Gary isn't the move and isn't about being cheap, I don't believe.

Remember the 2019 Playoffs saw Portland get blown out in game 5 but the Blazers came back to win games
6,7

80+% of our turnovers are making stupid passes through 2+ defenders.

Could we box out a player one **** time?

3 Blazers near the hoop and the 1 Nuggets player gets the **** rebound.

It's now 7pm Portland time the Blazers are now playing in a time they feel more comfortable in.

I turned it on late cause I was at a dog training class. It was 22 points at that point and since I’ve had it on Portland is +14. So I am 100% blaming my dog for the start lol

powell as a longer term veteran is eligible for far more as you know. The gary costs more argument is moot imo as the cap on what he can be offered is much lower and if teams go spend crazy powell could just as easily get a huge deal

We weathered the storm. We made our run. We have to keep it up, keep up the good shots in the second half, clamp down on defense. We have a chance. Let's go guys.

Down 3 after having a 20+ point deficit, I will take it.

What a huge turnaround! This series has been entertaining at the very least!

It's not a moot point. Gary wanted fifteen million and can get that, plus he's a restricted free agent this summer so we would be forced to make a decision within a smaller time frame potentially.

The point you were making is Gary was traded because Jody Allen is cheap. But if Jody Allen is willing to pay Powell what Gary Trent wanted, that isn't about money. It's about who's worth the money.
