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

[MickZagger]

We need another shooter off the bench. No shooting off the bench

 

[AldoTrapani]

And fuck our home court we suck at home

 

[Idog1976]

Also, I don't think I've ever disagreed with Dame when he wants a review. He's always right and that block was cleaner than Martha Stewart's bathroom.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Our bench is just trash. We need a scorer

 

[wizenheimer]

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

It would help a ton if Sharpe could find his stroke again.

 

[blazerkor]

Tough loss.

Ant hit a big shot late, but he played most of the game as if the Nuggets were holding his family hostage.

We need to work on our inbounds plays, too. We didn't even get a shot at the end of the 3Q or 4Q.

I know Dame ran back towards half court but Justice still should have thrown it to him.

 

[beast blazer]

Chauncey's fucking fault. If he would have challenged the Dame block we would have won.

He's a fucking moron.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Losing record at home. 2 Hart turnovers in last two minutes.

 

[blazerfan11]

Should always be able to get a shot off at the end.
I don't understand trying to thead the needle with 0.9

 

[Chris Craig]

We’ve won games with his challenges. What are you talking about? The only one he blew was Grant’s 6th foul a few games back but he prob wouldn’t have won it.

And we have lost several because he refused to challenge. Like tonight.

Great point.

 

[AldoTrapani]

I wish we had jordan clarkson off the bench

 

[Idog1976]

And we have lost several because he refused to challenge. Like tonight.

Yup.

 

[Chris Craig]

Losing record at home. 2 Hart turnovers in last two minutes.

He should have slowed down on that I stead of running. You reset and run the clock down.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Ugh... not even a good look at the end.

Hard with 0.9

 

[Idog1976]

Man this loss hurts wayyyyy worse than most during that losing streak. We needed this win. Oh well. On to the next one.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Should’ve passed it to Simons earlier

 

[Cugel]

pathetic embarrassing loss on Billups for fucking up the 4th quarter. Monster game by Dame leads to a big fat fucking L because of stubborn coaching.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Simons was straight dumpster juice.

Next time around we’ll have GP2 for situations like this.

 

[Mr. Robot]

i dont want to single out anyone, but man, hart couldve score 6 easy pts with layups and he didnt, his hands were terrible in those situations

 

[Chris Craig]

Should’ve passed it to Simons earlier

Simons was a black fucking hole all night.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Fuck Grant on D

Yeh, he's got give Murray the drive there.

 

[Natebishop3]

Losing record at home. 2 Hart turnovers in last two minutes.

One of those was a foul.

 

[Chris Craig]

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

 

[TBpup]

Valiant effort from Dame. Incredible shooting in the 2nd half.
Nurk battled and was tremendous in the 1st half.
Ant was brutal but did hit a clutch shot near the end.

It is confusing why this team isn't better at home. We used to have one of the best HCAs in the league. We have as good of talent as we've had in a long time.

 

[wizenheimer]

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

 

[illmatic99]

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.

 

[Chris Craig]

One of those was a foul.

The refs weren't going to call it for the Blazers tonight. Reffing like we were in Denver.

 

[AldoTrapani]

A shame to lose when we did so many things well.

Yup. That’s how I knew we were in trouble we were playing damn near perfect and it didn’t phase Denver
