Portland had 6 days off between games and while having a few days for rest is nice 6+ days is a **** eternity and most teams don't look good with 6 days of rest.


yeah I was thinking that earlier, it seemed like any time por had 3+ days off they did not play well in their return game this season.

That's most teams not just Portland go see similar series in the past like the 1st game for a team in the playoffs when they sweep a team and the other team they fight went to 7. 9 times out of 10 the team that had 5-8 days rest or whatever looks much worse.

Legitimately laughed at the block by Evan on Milsap. Amazing.

This game doesn't feel like it should be within reach. Denver is playing really well and shooting really well.

It's nice to see productive games from both Hood+Turner in this game, if we get more of that in future games it will be huge.

Turner seems Like an ideal guy to put on millsap. Hopefully this ends up being a good series for him

We are best when Lillard is driving to the basket.

Yeah, it feels like we need some guys to step up who have been pretty inconsistent. I guess the nature of bench players is that they are less consistent than starters in most cases. But Portland needs to be able to weather a down game from Dame or CJ or Kanter.

They keep talking about how young the nuggets are this year. How much older are the Blazers?
