Deni Avdija on Tiago Splitter: “He got thrown in a difficult situation. But he’s done a phenomenal job. He’s getting the best out of all of us and we love playing for him.”

Thank you thank you

Chauncey Billups tweeting “Right!!!!“

1-1

TIME LORD OMG

My defensive strategy for Portland is Anybody But Vassell

He was grimacing at the free throw line. Dude really seems like he needs a massage.

Deni pulling out the fast break tells me he’s not feeling right tonight. Scoot gonna have to be the one who brings them home if they’re gonna steal this win.

About to get a noise complaint from saying SCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT

Scoot City bitch

I will remember how Rudy Gobert guarded Jokic better than anybody else

All those missed FTs in the 3rd quarter might be the difference

It was a wild one, but the Hawks just stole Game 2 and home-court advantage in the series.

Atlanta trailed by as many as 14 in the 2nd half and by 12 after 3 quarters.

32 points for CJ McCollum, who is suddenly quite popular in New York.

Breakdown to come on the Locked On Hawks Podcast.

Jamal Murray did it AGAIN

CJ was born to be the heel at MSG

Kuminga has been fantastic

Kuminga playmaking???

Wemby was special. And so was Deni. Scoot looked ready for the bright lights.

But Portland is gonna need more than two guys scoring well to get on the board. They defended well, rebounded OK and overall were better with the turnovers. But they also gotta make some more shots.

Even with the turnovers, Scoot has been the 2nd best Blazer tonight. And there hasn’t really been a close 3rd.

LET.

SCOOT.

COOK.

They went away from having colors because of 9/11

In Portland’s only win over San Antonio this season, Caleb Love had 16 points and 5 rebounds.

He was one of the reasons they made it here. Absolutely trash decision.

Trail Blazers’ Two-Way Players Watching Playoff Run From Home In a departure from NBA norms, Caleb Love, Chris Youngblood and Jayson Kent are not accompanying the Blazers to San Antonio.

In the latest of Tom Dundon's cost-cutting measures, the Blazers are the only playoff team that didn't send their two-way players (who are ineligible to play in the playoffs) on the road for Games 1 and 2 this weekend.

Scoot Henderson is right where he supposed to be

That was such a fun LeBron game. Shades of 2018.

That’s why they call him DominAyton

Alright this is over it’s time for DominAyton legacy game

Leaving AG in with two fouls in the first quarter in the first place put Denver in that position

Kinda funny that the 4/5 in the East might be the most lopsided matchup of the whole playoffs
