The Portland Trail Blazers face a win-or-go-home Game 6 versus the Denver Nuggets tonight. This series has brought out more Blazer’s Edge Mailbag questions than I’ve seen since LaMarcus Aldridge’s free agency was a hot topic. Today we’ll get to a half-dozen of the most popular queries.

In my opinion, that’s the wrong question. If we’re talking probabilities, Portland beating a Nikola Jokic-led Nuggets squad without Jusuf Nurkic on the floor—with Enes Kanter carrying a separated shoulder injury besides—was always a longshot.
