You also thought the Rockets would beat the Warriors.

Might...
You gave 7.5 points and instructed all to do the same. Might.

I think guys look at who they'll be playing with, who will be coaching, the team's reputation.  Knix have been losers for a long time.  Players and coaches reputations tend to go bad in NY.  Etc.

Good G7.
I basically assumed that the home teams will win.
But I don't have faith in either DEN or POR.  POR with more experience.  But can you win relying on RodHood?
McCollum having a terrific game.

Teams combined 6-45 on 3's.

Mo Hark had a nice 3Q.
Zach played damn hard.
Fun game, even with Lillard struggling to shoot, POR won.
Lillard did make 2 key 3's in the 4Q.

Enes "no room for me in the modern game" Kanter on the floor at crunch time in the best game of the 2019 playoffs.... lol, lol, lol.....

*** 40 f'n minutes, needed every one, and hasn't had a sip of water since dawn

What a game.
Love both these teams.
Bright future for Denver.
Can't wait for the next series.

Kanter was up and down in G7.
Had some shaky moments on both ends.
Schooled by Jokic a few times; tried to pass to the corner on the move and threw the ball out of bounds 4Q, clanked a shot slightly out of his range 4Q.  Lost a late rebound that Ev Turner recovered.

Did keep a number of balls alive on the glass.
Did a credible job v. Jokic late.
Was on and off court late as POR needed his boarding.
Overall, a fairly solid game from Kant, with hiccups.
Jokic a tough cover.

Btw, Joker made DEN's only 2 3-pointers.  Rest of Nugs were 0-17.  Funny thing is JVG and Jax kept harping on POR missing 3's and what their % was, while DEN was worse but went unremarked upon..

Thought his two makes during the run back were pretty key. He got schooled maybe more than a few times. But also turned Jokic back more than a few times. A couple times, Jokic felt him, decided not to go in, and just passed the ball out. That's the Nuggets' biggest advantage nullified. Also, a few big boards and tips. What with his shoulder, probably best as he could do, and they don't move on otherwise.

Basketball is so much better when big men are involved.

*** And as for all those missed Denver threes, Kanter did a really credible man-on-man vs. a guy who is a top 5 mvp candidate; Portland defenders stayed on the shooters, goes a long way to helping to explain.


**** Also, sooner or later Denver's inexperience had to show up, that's just how it is..

DEN always keeps a Big out there.
Gonna be interesting with GSW.
If KD is healthy, they might not even bother with Bogut.
Making POR decide if/when/how to use Kanter.

would expect a reduced role either way, which is good for EK as maybe he can heal up a little bit for the subsequent round  :)

Well, you know I've been holding it in for a while.
I've been pretty restrained lately, even when Harden choked for the 5th time.

*** mainly cause as awful as he was this time, it was nothing compared to last year, or, to the greatest no-show in NBA Playoff History, his game six performance in the forty point home elimination loss to the Spurs in 2017....

You’re too ambitious. Kawhi is enough for me.

Ok, and finding a real coach. No KI!

But I’m ok with KD.
