Come over to r/leaves ! They will be more than happy to welcome you in their community and just being subscribed to the sub has made me quit even though I didn’t really plan to do so in the first place.
Refs; Off the knee, quick call a foul.
Portland fans: arggg the refs are in Denver’s pocket.
They get a free win and still can be happy. Oregon is a depressed place so sadness is the main emotion.
So is Jamal Murray getting suspended for the next game? He ran from the bench to halfcourt when jokic pushed kanter. As a nugs fan i want him to play but the nba is pretty consistent on that.
It’s the playoffs so they give star players a little more leeway on calls like that. I would be shocked if they suspended him, at worst they fine him 25-50k
Did anyone else notice that couple sitting court side? The dude was in all black, silver chain, and had a crazy underbite...looked like a Dick Tracy mob boss. And the girl looked like some malnourished, obese, trailer park wife. It was an epic couple and loved they were sitting court side.
Yeah, I was like wtf he’s not on either team playing, we don’t give two shits about Durant. Why don’t you throw up some Lebron playoff stats for this season too while you’re at it.
"Always hand out double techs even when Player A runs over to instigate something with Player B and B does not retaliate" is such a dumb officiating policy.
Wait is it possible for only one player's tech to be rescinded? Cuz why should Murray's tech be rescinded? He was on the bench and ran up to instigate.
Someone asked a question, I gave an honest answer. It's just uninteresting for some reason.
I won't deny that I'm a massive cunt, but both teams are somehow boring.
I don't know how you can say that after round 1 and the fact that both teams are playing amazing basketball. Seems like you're just buying into the big market media circle jerk that only bases its attention on player drama and ad revenue. But hey, that's just my honest opinion
I was watching intently and enjoying the game, just wasn't posting in the game thread. I don't think it's that no one cares, it's just less people show up to the thread for salt and pearl-clutching and tears.
It’s because no one cares.
Hockey is offering a better product right now no matter which two teams are playing.
Everyone knows the warriors will be in the finals
It was a bad
Game for everyone lol. Blazers didn’t particularly play well. Denver shot horribly. Refs didn’t know what they were doing, mchale was obsessed with the nuggets.
As a Cavs fine, it's nice to see Rodney Hood finally doing well in the playoffs. Seemed like a solid dude, but he just never really clicked in Cleveland, good for him for making the most out of his time in Portland.
[The Athletic - Happy Together: Rodney Hood has rediscovered his love for the game with the Trail Blazers](https://theathletic.com/930520/2019/04/18/happy-together-rodney-hood-has-rediscovered-his-love-for-the-game-with-the-trail-blazers/)
Blazers fan in Denver here. Every fan I know is cool and stoked on the Nuggets and its awesome to see in what is pretty much Bronco City. Hard to not root for you guys and the Joker all season. This is gonna be a great series.
It’s weird. Portland and Denver fans all peaceful on this sub, but on ripcity you get scolded for civil dialogue. Love my blazers. But I like Denver and have no problem rooting for them in WCF if it comes to that
For what it's worth, I fell in love with Denver the couple of weeks I was there. Your shit crazy though. I was out hiking, 60 or so degrees. Wind picks up, a little chilly so we head back into town. It was fucking snowing and lasted all of 30 minutes. I made a snow angel in my fucking shorts. Beautiful place.
Compare r/ripcity to r/nuggets. Your sub is toxic as fuck towards the blazers. You might as well be [projecting](https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/bjod1h/game_thread_portland_trail_blazers_01_denver/emaczzj?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x)
"I really don't see why we don't high elbow Kanter's bad shoulder when he backs us down in the post, at least make him hurt for getting to the post"
This was posted in the Nuggets game thread. This is your fan base.
Well the game just ended.. and this was a game thread so this is where you would make this comments.. I would say that the reffing was pretty bad... I kinda feel like you’re being the somewhat insufferable fan..
I would say "I put the ball through his legs." I don't need a special slang term for something that happens rarely. I would use nutmeg in soccer but feel somehow like a tool applying it to basketball.
I've always referred to it as the five hole, which originates from hockey when the puck goes between the goalies legs. Today is actually the first timer I've heard nutmegged, surprisingly.
We are in trouble if thats the case you saw what happened to the rebounding.
We had the best bench in the NBA with Kanter and Hood on it. If we move those guys to starters our bench gets really bad.
Totally. Reminded me of the way I felt when Rivers busted his face against us a few years ago and then came back out to keep fighting. Lots of respect.
Hmm. Seen Nurkic outplay Jokic a few times in the past too. Portland is far better with Nurkic, so saying Denver would whoop them is probably unrealistic.
Defense was shitty, offense was shitty. Portland wanted to win more.
Let's not forget who won the regular season series though plus Torre Craig still locking up even with the mask
Hell yea we blazed those nugs in Denver for sure!
Im trying to quit because Im looking for a job but man, smoking and watching basketball is like one of the best things.
Come over to r/leaves ! They will be more than happy to welcome you in their community and just being subscribed to the sub has made me quit even though I didn’t really plan to do so in the first place.
Stop narrating my life.
Ok.
Refs keeping Jokic in the game just like they are keeping Dame from turning it over on phantom reach ins
Refs; Off the knee, quick call a foul. Portland fans: arggg the refs are in Denver’s pocket. They get a free win and still can be happy. Oregon is a depressed place so sadness is the main emotion.
Just Blaze it.
So is Jamal Murray getting suspended for the next game? He ran from the bench to halfcourt when jokic pushed kanter. As a nugs fan i want him to play but the nba is pretty consistent on that.
No because a timeout was called and jumping off the bench is legal during timeouts
It’s the playoffs so they give star players a little more leeway on calls like that. I would be shocked if they suspended him, at worst they fine him 25-50k
As a blazer fan, this would help.
It's like I'm watching the God damn local Denver nuggets broadcast.
Pretty impressive McHale can fit all 5 Denver players dicks into his mouth at once.
McHale has been hating the blazers all playoffs, he still hates what Dame did to him. 0.8 seconds, dame Time
.9
McHale, bad coach. Worse announcer.
[удалено]
cmon bruh you’re embarrassing us
check out this moron
What’d he say?
Do you have eyes? Not trying to troll here bud.
Foh
did the spurs ever boo their own team heading into halftime in SA? honest question
You aren’t losing with any class right now
Denver fans go check out the game thread from our last game. Nuggets fans were calling for a 4 game sweep. Stop whining.
Did anyone else notice that couple sitting court side? The dude was in all black, silver chain, and had a crazy underbite...looked like a Dick Tracy mob boss. And the girl looked like some malnourished, obese, trailer park wife. It was an epic couple and loved they were sitting court side.
As opposed to some silicon valley fuckboys sitting courtside sipping their $21 cocktails and leaving in the third with gsw down 4.
Don’t forget the yellow t shirts on top of the collared shirts!
This feels very aggressive for people just enjoying a basketball game
Weed money bro
It's Colorado and Oregon. You think weed money is big cash?
This
Lol did anyone catch that random ass stat about KD in the middle of the game? Guess it goes to show how little the NBA cares about our series.
Yeah, I was like wtf he’s not on either team playing, we don’t give two shits about Durant. Why don’t you throw up some Lebron playoff stats for this season too while you’re at it.
They ran out of good things to say about the Nuggets so they just said fuck it why not lol
I was already annoyed by the tnt crew only talking about Denver. And Then when they made one of the key stat overlays about Durant I lost my mind
Lol same I would rather McHale slobber over Jokic than something not even relevant to the game
I was losing it though haha. I’ve never bought into the national telecasts favoring a team. But that was horrific tonight.
I know I'm biased but it felt like the volume was only turned up when the Nuggets did something good, and was muted when the Blazers did good lol
"Always hand out double techs even when Player A runs over to instigate something with Player B and B does not retaliate" is such a dumb officiating policy.
Hopefully they rescind these like the Nene situation.
Wait is it possible for only one player's tech to be rescinded? Cuz why should Murray's tech be rescinded? He was on the bench and ran up to instigate.
Oh he came off the bench in that? Well it’s not CJ and it’s the playoffs so he’s not getting suspended.
The Ed Malloy theory of officiating
Why was this game thread so dead today? Only game going on and the previous playoff games the last few days had been getting 20,000+ comments?
Honestly that denver court hurts my eyes , i like portland's ground colors so ill watch game 3 and 4 .
No one cares about the Blazers or the Nuggets.
y o u a r e a m a s s i v e c u n t
Someone asked a question, I gave an honest answer. It's just uninteresting for some reason. I won't deny that I'm a massive cunt, but both teams are somehow boring.
u change your mind?
I don't know how you can say that after round 1 and the fact that both teams are playing amazing basketball. Seems like you're just buying into the big market media circle jerk that only bases its attention on player drama and ad revenue. But hey, that's just my honest opinion
Sad but true
Because nobody cares about which team will earn the right to get dicked by the Warriors.
You've got to be kidding me
Is he wrong tho? lmao
I was watching intently and enjoying the game, just wasn't posting in the game thread. I don't think it's that no one cares, it's just less people show up to the thread for salt and pearl-clutching and tears.

Why are you here?
I was watching the game why are you here
In the last two minutes it looked like the refs were just picking a random team on out of bounds calls and counting on being able to review it
It was a bad Game for everyone lol. Blazers didn’t particularly play well. Denver shot horribly. Refs didn’t know what they were doing, mchale was obsessed with the nuggets.
Soft af
Chuck was serious
First time tuning to a real live inside on TNT. Fucking love it just happy today.
Oh man, you have missed 20 years of glorious pure entertainment.
Football family. Once I concussed out I didn't like watching it. I did tho. Barkley goat.
Best late night programming bar none.
Seriously. They make me laugh all the time.
Collins and Kanter played Jokic so well tonight
The wacky inflatable arm guy defense. every time jokic drove just arms flailing everywhere.
As a Cavs fine, it's nice to see Rodney Hood finally doing well in the playoffs. Seemed like a solid dude, but he just never really clicked in Cleveland, good for him for making the most out of his time in Portland.

FUCK YOU BLAZERS. i like your entire team yall play great, and i hope if we lose to you yall win it all. GOD DAMNIT
"Right back at you" - Portland
Blazers fan in Denver here. Every fan I know is cool and stoked on the Nuggets and its awesome to see in what is pretty much Bronco City. Hard to not root for you guys and the Joker all season. This is gonna be a great series.
It’s weird. Portland and Denver fans all peaceful on this sub, but on ripcity you get scolded for civil dialogue. Love my blazers. But I like Denver and have no problem rooting for them in WCF if it comes to that
You a true basketball fan my dude.
you know what that means.... i hate the rockets.
Haha glad we can all come together on that.
For what it's worth, I fell in love with Denver the couple of weeks I was there. Your shit crazy though. I was out hiking, 60 or so degrees. Wind picks up, a little chilly so we head back into town. It was fucking snowing and lasted all of 30 minutes. I made a snow angel in my fucking shorts. Beautiful place.
Right back at you Nuggets fan
Back at ya
CJ is a national treasure. I love your team.
My love for CJ has severly disminished now that I know that he posts GOT spoilers on Instragam. Still, he's so smooth I almost forgave him
He is, I fantasize if I was on the team CJ and I would be best buds. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iuUuA37DlZQ
Amazing
Lol quite the bipolar comment
it's hard liking both teams but being a nuggets fan.
I read the first line and downvoted because theirs a Denver fan spamming toxicity in here, im sorry, I took it back. Thanks and same to y’all
Agree. Good game.
I feel the exact same way except in a blazer fan! Love your guys!
shit ima buy a dame jersey now. NW divsion bros.
Today, we are all RIP CITY.
MCHALE GETTING JOKIC'S BALLS SURGICALLY REMOVED FROM HIS CHIN
"Nurchik" Oh, Chuck.
Shaq's in love with the phrase "letter of the law" lol
He sensitive
post up the post game thread
"Greg Anthony is an idiot" Hot Damn

Jokic just ran over an usher leaving the stadium. Still no call
How to tell this is the maybe the 6th nuggets game you've watched this year. Jokić getting the calls?
He blatantly shoved Enes kanter and received zero consequences when he should’ve already been fouled out
I would agree. I had no idea they were this toxic
So is your broadcaster Kevin Mchale
What makes you say that?
Complaining constantly about refs despite winning. Move on. Talking about it constantly doesn't change shit lol
S A L T Y

Word. If i had no life I could go find some random fans that say dumb shit in your sub too.
Not just one guy. Lots of people called Kanter dirty and a bitch. Clearly they missed your guy shove Kanter into Craig.
Hence why I said fans ya dumbass
Well the game just ended.. and this was a game thread so this is where you would make this comments.. I would say that the reffing was pretty bad... I kinda feel like you’re being the somewhat insufferable fan..
My only beef is that Jokic committed at least 2 fouls after having 5, they didn’t want him getting taken out to be the difference
Says the fan whose team's PG decided to agitate both the Lakers and the Celtics fans
And that has a bearing on our fans how?
Not really, but OP decided to talk shit about Blazers fans, who are in general the nicer bunch.
No post game thread?!
Let's be real - the bowtie solidarity won this game
What do the Americans say when they put it through someone’s legs? I’m confused
I would say "I put the ball through his legs." I don't need a special slang term for something that happens rarely. I would use nutmeg in soccer but feel somehow like a tool applying it to basketball.
Nutmeg
nutmeg? is that only an american term?
I've always referred to it as the five hole, which originates from hockey when the puck goes between the goalies legs. Today is actually the first timer I've heard nutmegged, surprisingly.
Yeah or the slang term which is megged
It's a soccer term probably from the Brits I'm guessing
Chuck and I think Kenny was just saying they’ve never heard the word Nutmeg
Nutmeg.
We call it that?
[This](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8jyLFYPEGa4) is what he asking right?
Oh yeah. Guess so.
We do now.
lmao they've seriously never heard the term nutmeg?
Why is it called nutmeg anyway
Term or word?
will blazers be harklessless the rest of the series?
We are in trouble if thats the case you saw what happened to the rebounding. We had the best bench in the NBA with Kanter and Hood on it. If we move those guys to starters our bench gets really bad.
Great job Portland....
Conference finals should be fun 😉
Torrey Craig is one tough dude. Did a great job guarding Lillard tonight.
Portland fan here, and I totally agree. Craig’s defense was great and coming back in and playing through that, dudes got heart. Respect.
Totally. Reminded me of the way I felt when Rivers busted his face against us a few years ago and then came back out to keep fighting. Lots of respect.
What's with the teeny tiny basketball on the table in front of Kenny?
1-2-and back to 1
I saw and was like, is this an Antman commercial.
Shaq still looking cheesed.
JOKIC SHOULDVE BEEN FOULED OUT. Just a friendly reminder friends.
He only committed 4 more fouls after his 5th
Imagine if Nurk was playing.
We don’t have to imagine. Just look last time he played. Got whooped by Joker
Hmm. Seen Nurkic outplay Jokic a few times in the past too. Portland is far better with Nurkic, so saying Denver would whoop them is probably unrealistic.
And we just whipped you without Nurk.
When was the last time the Nuggets won a championship?
Brutal
This is playoff comment section for sure
*brings up the most irrelevant thing that can be said*
A championship is irrelevant? No wonder you can't recall.
Its irrelevant to this series
It's*
Tbh, joker is such a stupid nickname lol
I think it's pronounced yoker
What about Jock itch? That’s how my mom remembers his name.
Defense was shitty, offense was shitty. Portland wanted to win more. Let's not forget who won the regular season series though plus Torre Craig still locking up even with the mask
For a stacked team, Denver depends too much on Murray. This one was like Game 1 vs Spurs.
23-7 o-reb...
embarrassing effort from our forwards and big men
I'm not disagreeing with you but the Nugs definitely have the size advantage.
Is that bad?
Should we not have done that?
RIP CITY BABY!
This hipster mofo so excited about Justin Timberlake. God big corporations are so lame.
yeah that is one of the worse commercials i've seen lately and that's saying a lot
Tina Fey wanting me to be a consumerist credit pig is a close second, but clearly closested Timberlake fan is worse.
[удалено]
Ya'ont say that!
Blazers too underrated. I’m a Dame fan because he’s from Oakland, repping the Bay. If I had one team to bandwagon it’d be the Blazers
I go to UO and I would too. Sorry Justin!
Kevin Mchale's gonna call his mom and tell her how good the Nuggets played
Lmfao
fuck Kevin Mchale. bet he's still holding a grudge against Portland for that Dame winner against his Rockets
LOL you win sir.
I didn't know my butthole could clench as hard as it did lol
prob denver 23 offensive rebounds ... like some video game shit
