Game Thread 2022-23 GAME #25 - BLAZERS VS NUGGETS - DECEMBER 8, 2022 - THURSDAY - 7:00 PM (PDT) ROOT - NBATV

[Strenuus]

Not worried.

No one should be.

 

[Tince]

No support for Dame in the 4th.

 

[MickZagger]

Sometimes Hart needs to slow his fucking role. Looking like Ruben Patterson toward the end of that one

 

[Mr. Robot]

same thing like against indiana, cant get defensive rebound and they get the putback

ant was bad, but players have bad games

 

[HailBlazers]

Yeah, he's like that guy in the gym that can't shoot.

Hey, my defense is outmatched.

 

[BlazerBeav]

The Nuggets get murdered when Jokic is on the bench. Tonight we got outscored in those minutes. It’s insane.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Simons was a black fucking hole all night.

On the fast break I mean

 

[julius]

Fucking Blazers. It's a total embarrassment that they're under .500 at home.

 

[HailBlazers]

So mad at Chauncey for not challenging any calls

 

[MickZagger]

this loss did not come down to one challenge or one shot or one play.

we had a 10pt lead going into the fourth at home. should never lose a game like that and it takes quite a few mistakes to do it.

i don't like our tendency to give up leads. team desperately needs a more killer instinct when we have teams down. the same thing happened in the indiana game but we pulled that one out.

Our bench blew the lead. They sucked

 

[Tince]

That Hart turnover on the fast break was a killer too

oh well. Have to get that win back on one of the games in Denver

Yeah, he gave is up early so he had to be expecting it back. After getting blocked at the rim a minute before, those two empty possessions were a game changer.

Chauncey is way to conservative with his challenges. You should ALWAYS use the challenge if there is a possibility it will take points off the board. That Dame block resulted in free throws for Denver.

 

[Chris Craig]

So mad at Chauncey for not challenging any calls

Yeah, he just wastes it.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Not worried.

No one should be.

Idk why you like this mediocracy shit

What challenge would he have won?

That's the game right there.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Nurk had such a good game too fuck

 

[MickZagger]

Unless you’re Giannis, you pull it out on a 1 on 3 fast break. But Hart twice tried to pull some magic out of his hat.

 

[blazerfan11]

Blazers should have fouled Murray when he was inside the arc on that last Denver possession. They had a foul to give and it would have left the Nuggets an inbound with 2-3 seconds left. Dumb not to foul

The Western Conference is so even this season that the endings of games get magnified and the mistakes as well.
You can't make a misstep or you end up like Golden State in Utah.

I am pretty sure they were out of timeouts also so they wouldn't have been able to draw up a play.

 

[Chris Craig]

What challenge would he have won?

Dame jumped and grabbed the ball out of Gordon's hand and got called for a foul. It result in two points for Denver. A challenged would have reversed the foul and no points. That's the game difference. But, Chauncey refused and didn't end up using the challenge or the timeout he would have used for it.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Fucking Blazers. It's a total embarrassment that they're under .500 at home.

It’s awful. If we don’t win both against Minnesota, I’m out.

 

[MickZagger]

Idk why you like this mediocracy shit

The whole league is mediocre right now out side of like 3 teams lol

 

[KSF-ERIC]

The West is floundering right now. Win 8 in a row and you’re first. Gotta get busy.

 

[MickZagger]

It’s awful. If we don’t win both against Minnesota, I’m out.

Get out of here! Go!

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Yep

 

[Chris Craig]

Nurk had such a good game too fuck

He played the best I have seen him this season tonight and for naught.

 

[MickZagger]

Chauncey is way to conservative with his challenges. You should ALWAYS use the challenge if there is a possibility it will take points off the board. That Dame block resulted in free throws for Denver.

He’s got like a year and 2 months of coaching experience. He should learn.

 

[AldoTrapani]

The whole league is mediocre right now out side of like 3 teams lol

And? This is our season every year. What are even doing? At this point we know what we got and it’s the same shit.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Dame kills fans’ dreams all the time. Now we know how they feel.
