Hoooo whatever happened there!

Wanna say it came from the 2014 series but think it was even earlier.

Containing this guy will obviously be the key to this series. He's the engine to their offense. As mentioned on the previous page, we didn't have Wemby in any of those first 3 matchups this season. Deni's game revolves around his ability to get to the rim (and draw contact to get to the foul line), so hopefully Wemby can stifle him a bit and turn him primarily into a jump-shooter.

Wish I still lived in Portland. Would have been great to see Wemby live.

Almost moved to Portland when I was a kid back in the day. Was literally between Portland and SA. Crazy to think I might've grown up a Blazers fan tbh.

Deni (and the Guests in general) shooting well from three is their only chance to extend this series.

@scott or @LeBowen can change it to whatever format they'd like tbh. Looks fine on PC though imo.

It’s perfect

I might come to regret it, but feels like a weight has been lifted from my shoulders with the Guests beating the Suns tbh.

Guests are probably the easiest first round match up aside from the Lebron lakers

 

[Robz4000]

Spurs open up as -3500 favorites, by far the biggest favorites in the first round at least until the odds come out for OKC vs whoever they land.

Fun fact: The last time the Spurs faced Portland in the Playoffs in 2014, Tiago Splitter was our starting Center. Good times.

Was arguably his best series as a Spur as well. Shut down LMA after he shit on Howard and the Rockets in their previous series.

We are so damn back. I'ma pop a bottle of Scotch to celebrate right before the game and hopefully the drunken stupor I'm in by the end of the game is a good, happy one.

Glorious times tbh

Bobo won us the Mavs series
Tiago the Portland series
TD the OKC series
And Kawhi vs Heat

I have a wedding to attend to that day in Tagaytay. Hope I wont be in a pissy mood (that means we lost game 1 tbh).

Would also argue Splitter played a significant role against the Mavs. They had no answer for his playmaking in the high post in the fourth quarter of game 5 tbh.

A wedding on a Monday? Are you a minister or something? hehe

I remember when Zach Edey was doing his draft combine sprints and someone posted the video of Mr Larson chasing shooter with the exact same running style as Edey.

Their anniversary is 4/20 and wanted to get wed on the same day. Psychos tbh

Never forget Boris’ 3 pt shot in game 4 tbh. Probably the biggest shot of the run over TD’s fadeaway in game 6 vs OKC IMO.

accurate tbh.
tho, i can never forget that manu dunk that seemed to just suck the souls out of the heat. can't remember which game that was, maybe 5?
also, wasn't that the year that cojo had that nasty dunk against OKC in a loss? shit put hair on my chest
