Weed is Legal in Both States So Let's Blaze Fat Nuggets: POR vs. DEN Round 2 Official Thread

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

CJ/Dame gonna need a lot of help in the next round and I don't think they'll get it

 

[Serious]

shyt was hilarious how the nuggets crowd gave him a standing ovation when he fouled out..after going 3-13

Damn ET fukked him up

Millsap almost couldn't miss during the first 4 games.
Y'all remember that quadruple overtime. Millsap was the go to person, dude wouldn't miss no matter how heavily contested he was.

I think the NBA is going to be in a better place next year with the players finally speaking out against these nerds.

Care to explain the whole "Nerds" thing?

I completely agree, he was out coached in both series though. San Antonio just didn’t have the talent to get the win in the end and Portland did.

I don't think he was out coached. Denver's roster construction could use some work. There's a limitations in that roster. Can't have two guards that can't get their own shot at will start. Cannot have a multitude of wings and forwards with a variety of different skillsets.

Portland had better options for different problems.

Evan Turner can play 1-4. They had a 2 big and tall and athletic PF/Cs. A wing that can get their own shot. They got 2 6'9 athletic 3/D types.
Beasley, Barton and Morris are all between 6'3 to 6'6, and average at best. Plumlee is the typical athletic big. And Craig is the their shutdown defender and he is 6'7.
Nuggets are gonna have to get bigger and more versatile. Can't rely on your center to initiate your offense. Malone wasn't out coach, his roster was just limited. It's too guard heavy, and too small.

The teams that win in the playoffs got multi skilled guys on the squad with size that can defend, and an iso get buckets guy. Denver doesn't have that. I am surprised that got this far in the playoffs relying on Jokic to bail them out of situations. Malone ain't that bad. The Denver guards didn't take that necessary leap this year and it showed in the playoffs. Guard play is fundamental to success in the playoffs.

Nobody not a single person is going to act like that
Just call this a CJ appreciation thread because dame carried him in round one himself

No he didn't. Go look at CJ's numbers from the 1st round.

People don't like math and don't like numbers or accuracy or precision or strategy.

They just want basketball players to run up and down to court and do whatever they want.

Anti-intellectualism at its highest.

Mid-range game back in the muthaphukkin building

Front offices who build teams with a reliance on analytics.

It's the reason Houston only shoot threes or go to the rim even when they got an open mid-range shot.

Kanter is going to get destroyed in the pick and roll by GS

Also outside of Dame and CJ the rest of the blazers are way too inconsistent and they fukk up a lot against elite defensive teams..

The best backcourt of this generation will be decided

It already has.

Cj looking like a young RIP out there in the midrange but deadlier off the dribble
