Is Kanter going to play? His separated shoulder could be a big factor in who wins this series. The Nuggets really choked in their game seven win. They should have won that game by 20 as badly as the Spurs played. They went 2 for 20 from the three point line. Which isn't good enough to win most playoff games. But DeRozan and Aldridge were their typical inefficient selves and managed to put up too many shots with too little productivity and the Spurs managed to lose. So I hope the Nuggets can get their act together and shoot at a 40% clip from three point range and handle the Blazers tonight. This should be a HCA series and maybe go seven. But who knows. Kanter I would say is key in controlling Jokic. This guy can really pass the ball. That was the big difference in winning game seven. He got the ball to guys for layups since they were not hitting from the outside.

If you don’t count the Avelanche Stanley Cups(Denver was gifted the NHL’s OKC Thunder) and the Bronco’s SB’s, Colorado pro sports have been brutal. |

Game started between Portland and Denver.
Toronto made it close in their series game 2 against Philly, but couldn't lead for most of the game.

Kanter grabs his shoulder after every trip, but he's scoring.
Portland is rusty on 3 point defense to start the game.

This is one of the best games I've seen Jokic have.

Jimmy Butler has a huge fourth quarter and saves the Sixers season. Both teams shot like crap most of the game. Toronto plays great in game one and then they have this mess of a game. Gasol is great defensively against Embiid but does not do crap on offense. So we have two ineffective centers on offense. Kawhi about the only one playing great basketball for the Raptors. Siakam wasn't too bad nor was Lowry but the rest of the guys did not do much at all. For all the so called stars the Sixers have a lot of weaknesses on offense. Simmons and Leonard a great matchup. Looking forward to game three of this series in Philly.
Jokic was dominant last night. Denver hits their threes and they can win this series. Murray is a young guy (22) starting to learn to play under pressure. Jokic is only 24. These guys are going to be a force in the WC for a long time to come. Portland much older and much more experienced. But did not get any offence out of Aminu or Harkless last night. Their role players have to be productive for them to win this series. Warriors or Rockets would beat either one of these teams pretty easily IMO.

This 2 week break will do wonders for the battered up Warriors. I hope the Nuggets are ready.

Bucks got crushed in game one. Then they started hitting their threes and dominated the Celtics last night. They looked like two different teams. Now it moves to Boston. Greek freak looked really good last night. So did Bledsoe and Middleton. Hope they win at least one of the next two games in Boston. I hate the Celtics.
Nuggets have a long way to go before they can even think about the WC finals. Their team is a lot of young guns that depend on hitting their three point shots. These guys completely choked in their game seven against the Spurs. They were lucky the Spurs choked worse. It will be tough for them to win in a hostile environment like Portland. You better wait until they win a game there before you put them in the WC finals. Right now I would pick the Blazers to win that series.

Watching Blazers Vs Denver, game 2.
1) Blazers look like the better team.
2) Clippers (and Rockets and Warriors) could have taken either of these teams. At least, the way they're playing now.
3) This is kinda crappy basketball right now. Sooooo many open look misses. And awful defense. Nobody has heart out there. Nobody seems to want this game, at least heading into half time.

I don't think Portland's play is crappy.

If I understand TNT correctly, Denver is 0 - 6 in 2nd round series when the series is tied 1 - 1.

I watched Portland vs Denver. I find it unbelievable how they let McHale call those games. He is cleary still hurt of that 3 point shot from Dame the biase is just crazy and annoying. Also I was pretty impressed with Enes Kanter. He played really good on the offensive end. I also liked Mo Harkless. I still can't believe that the Blazers won even though they got outrebounded and Dame even had a bad game.
Overall I love the intensity in this series. Both teams didn't play very good but it was still nice to watch. I still got Portland beating Denver in this series and am rooting for them.

While I'm at it please remove Marv Albert and Mark Jackson too. Mark Jackson is just annoying I can't stand this guy and he's also butthurt that the Warriors fired him. Marv Albert is just too confused. I feel like Doris does a great job. They should let her call the games more.

I’m glad that we got to show the world what we were made of vs the Warriors, but these Clippers could’ve beaten anyone else in the Western Conference in the 1st round That loss to the Lakers really stings.
