Congratulations, my friends.

Keep that backcourt at all costs but try to add a decent / borderline star wing to it. Aminu and Harkless are underwhelming

Nope, 8 assists. You’re probably counting his defensive rebounds and his rebound total. Lillard has still never got a triple double.

Oh, yeah I misread that.

Dame and CJ both played 45 minutes at elevation. Neither looked exhausted in the 4th Q either

Jokic played 42 minutes and looked wrung out down the stretch

**************************************************

I'm wondering: no Aminu in the 2nd half....is that any reflection on how the Blazers will prioritize re-signing him?

I think Zach Collins is ready to step into that roll. He's a better defender...and even though the percentages don't show it yet, I think he will be a more reliable shooter. I'd still want Chief on the team as a backup, but not that the expense of retaining Kanter or Hood.

I don't mind resigning Chief, but Zach's clearly the answer there longterm. Considering we're going to miss Nurkic most of the year, I'd rather spend money to resign Enes on a one year deal and see what happens in 2020.

That's Jody Allen at the end, isn't it?

the only way i can see us winning this game is if denver has another poor shooting night, it doesnt have to be horrible shooting night, just poor enough... to me, the key will be stopping paul millsap, hes been killing us the whole series, well, except the last game... if we do good job on him, i think well have a chance

last game both dame and cj mccollum shoot the ball well, rodney hood played out of his mind, but i dont believe all of these things will happen again... were gonna need kanter, zach collins, chief and harkless to step up so badly

i just want them to play harder than denver, win or lose, it doesnt matter, just go out there and give your best shot

how about that 8-)

Jokic had to deal with the second coming of Jungle Jim Loscutoff, aka Meyers Leonard.

Congratulations, Portland! As a Pacific NW resident I always pull for the Blazers as my Western Conference team, would be a dream come true to meet you in the finals

How much of a breakthrough has this team made? Will the Blazers be annual contenders?

GreenRiddler · Post #479 » by **GreenRiddler** » Mon May 13, 2019 12:39 am

I still remember people wanted Gary Harris beside Dame over McCollum. I am sure Denver would make that trade in June if we ask them.

It's honestly not lip service at all to say it's truly impressive. With all the injuries you've had, combined with the frustration of playing in the West with Golden State year after year, the Blazers have really been on an amazing trajectory.
