    They were the ones keeping it close in the 4th before the blowout, Dame has been cold.

    Jokic is one of the easiest superstars of not my team to root for I can ever remember.

    barely any attitude. Crazy diverse skill set for a big.

    No they weren’t. They’ve been missing and turning it over

    Portland’s as soft as they come. They deserve to lose

    Thank goodness Dame didn't end another good team's season with his first round playoff shenanigans.

    Not Dame going 1-5 in the 4th. Nah that can’t be right for the “most clutch” player in the league.

    40% from the field and 27% from 3 with 5 turnovers in an elimination game?

    Why didn't we get Aaron Gordon? That's the kind of role play I want.

    Blazers and Lillard have no excuses..

    Another first round exit. Their team was completely healthy. Nuggets were without their 2nd best player.

    1st round exit in 4 of the last 5 years.

    It was a strange disappointing season for the blazers. They should've been better with Covington and powell and a healthy nurkic. At least Portland fans will have dames epic game 5 performance to remember.

    Another first round exit for Lillard. Yet somehow he gets more respect than Harden.

    How about Denver playing some clutch defense. Doubled up Portland 28-14 in 4th Q scoring.

    I think the West is lucky Murray isn't healthy. He really turns it up for big games and I bet this is closer to a sweep if he were playing and I'd have them going to the Finals with AD and his glass body not being able to be relied upon currently.
