they did! wtf was malone thinking

wow cj heart u bro

Jokic out there looking like some battle of winterfell shit

Jokic has played more than 50 minutes already.

THIS GAME HAS HAD SOME REAL UPS AND DOWNS

you have got to be kidding me

Both teams played hard, to coin a phrase.

In situations like this it puzzles me why coaches don't go for fresh legs more often, but keep their exhausted starters in forever.

this game is Portland’s second nba classic of the post season imo

shit is wild

exhausting just to watch this

wish I were watching this with all the ILH bros <3 btw let’s go nuggs

Hahahaha hahhahahha

4OTnite

<3 you k3v I’m with you in spirit screaming like an idiot rn

ok now this game is reaching black mirror territory and the final score is gonna be your ex's phone number or something

that missed FT means we will probably see a winner in 4OT

Hood is Good

Hood is backing up my 'fresh legs' theory.

stotts is on ilh i guess

xp

Stotts pulled Hood for Harkless.

love games like these where players get subbed in like pinch defenders

congrats clay

Jokic played 65 minutes! CJ played 60!

love to get the W at 11:15

kanter playing 56 mins banging the entire game w his injuries is insane

feel like that loss was survivable for the nuggets but would not have been for the blazers

wow uh staying up for that would not have been a good idea but i’m sad i missed it.

can they give them an extra day of rest?

today is their day of rest. no extras. After that kind of game, I expect the players will be allowed to come in for any physical therapy they need at whatever time they wish to arrive.

Watched this late last night what a game. So many ups and downs. Nba playoffs >>>

That game was absolutely miserable for me. Had 3 or 4 nightmares about it

That Murray sideline turnover is just grotesque and I’ll never forget it

I do sometimes forget that Murray is 22

Jokic had two reaaaallly bad turnovers

No Siakim tonight! Yiiikes Toronto

ya its easy to forget it takes a while for guys to get good xp

Murray did so much good stuff last night I was worried about him earlier this season but I think he’s got it.

No Siakim tonight! Yiiikes Toronto

Damned lucky for the Raptors they aren't playing tonight!

I predict the Nuggs-Blazers game on Sunday will depend on which bench can deliver the most productive minutes. Kanter will be torn up worse than ever. All the starters will tire more quickly. We'll probably see sloppy execution all over the place, because the will to win will be strong as ever, but the minds and bodies will be depleted. Might be ugly, but getting the win will be critical for both teams.

Next game whatever. Doubtful I guess isn’t out but calf bruise sounds not great. Wonder if he got it when he tripped embiid
