So denver should of double him, and hope whoever gets the ball is cold?
Tough call either way
My god no shit. Run a double at him and make Evan Turner best you. Gotta make him pick up his dribble there.
I wouldn't feel that confident if it's dame that's open even though he hasn't hit a shot all night, but anyone else I'll take my chances rather than give CJ a pretty easy iso jumper
Evan turner and "veteran leadership" ... who would of thunk it was possible. Yet it happened!
How did we get the clownshow that is JVG and Jackson instead of Doris for this game? Its criminal.
Yep but to be honest, Stevens not only got him that salary but essentially saved his career. Stotts took that work and figured out a role for Turner. The past few years, he has essentially been the Blazers poor-man's Iguodala.
its a big reason I fired up this thread and commented so much. It helps me ignore the lazy indulgences of JVG et al (calling them a clownshow is an insults to clowns)
That game was fun and obviously hardfought, but also a lot of really dreadful basketball. McCollum was truly amazing all game long, Jokic was his normal really impressive self (although it's nice to play against a crippled and dehydrated Kanter), but the two teams shot 6-45 combined from 3 for the game. 6-45!!!!
Lillard was pretty invisible/awful for most of this series, game 6 and a few short stretches excepted. I don't think it was the defense, either he is playing hurt or he is still recovering after his superhuman effort to knock out OKC but he is pretty lucky McCollum played the game of his life today.
Surprised the NBA didn’t move the start time of this game to 6:30.
31 total points in the 1st Quarter.

Talking margins, but I wonder how wise it was for Rockets to cut loose James Ennis. They could have used another big wing v. GS, and Ennis is more seasoned than Danuel House (who fell out of the rotation mid-series) and a lot longer than Rivers or Shumpert. He has looked solid on both ends in his minutes tonight.
You gotta love CJ's old school scoring line: 37 points on 17-29 field goals, consisting almost entirely of sweet mid-range Js and clever lay-ups.
For a guy with somewhat similar game and skills to Harden, McCollum's kind the anti-Harden in terms of where he gets his points, and the degree to which he baits the refs. (Indeed, I've heard Blazers fans complain that he doesn't sell calls nearly enough). Dude just exudes class and respect for the sport.
Super pleased to see a WCF of two classic teams who play the game the right way, both with great fanbases, and both led by super-likable backcourt tandems. How much of a chance the Blazers have probably depends on when KD and Boogie return, and how close to 100% they'll be when they do.

Toronto needs to win this in the 3rd Quarter or Jimmy Butler might just takeover the 4th and bring it home for Philly.
What was Ibaka called for??
We know the NBA would HATE Tor-Mil , GSW - Por
Keeping PHL market helps a lot.
It is on second TV so not watching closely
