Once again Ant is a no show

 

[OneSport3]

Keep putting Jokic in PNR. He can’t guard out there.

 

[B-Roy]

I think Ant has gotten better defensively this season, but the amount of plays where he's just not paying attention and gives up an advantage is baffling.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Nurk showing a little bit of a pulse.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Westbrook needs to be like Josh Hart. Shy as hell to shoot lol

 

[DDolla]

Ball Don’t lie and Dame is mad

 

[B-Roy]

Lucky to be down 6.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Ball Don’t lie and Dame is mad

Both bode well for Blazers!

 

[Idog1976]

A worrying performance from Dame. It looks like he doesn’t have any burst left!

 

[riverman]

Dame is going to do again!

 

[MickZagger]

NBA officiating is a joke.

Eubanks gets hit in the chops. No foul. Jokic extends the arm as far as it will go, knocks him down. No call and a layup.

Other end. Grant gets the tomahawk chop across the arm, causing him to lose the ball. No call. Nugget player picks it up and Jeremi spins and collides with him. Good foul call on Grant ... but let's see what Joker thinks. Take foul? Take foul. FT and the ball.

What garbage.

It’s been awful. The Moda center is letting the refs have it

 

[OneSport3]

Dame is mad now. Thank you refs!

 

[blazerkor]

If Nurk would concentrate on going up strong in the paint we would be up in this game right now...

That shit is so old at this point.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Nurk showing a little bit of a pulse.

I'd like to see him fight for contested rebounds harder,

 

[blazerkor]

Dame is mad now. Thank you refs!

He did get that exact same call on the guy diving on him last game.

 

[DDolla]

Where is Sarr when you need him to replace Nurk?

 

[PCmor7]

...related to his reported core muscle surgery in the offseason

Huh? Someone asked what a core injury was. No one was answering, so I did. I don't understand your quote-reply to me.

 

[riverman]

Grant has helped keep us in this....great to have that on the roster

 

[illmatic99]

gotta love dame

 

[OneSport3]

I’m really confused at the defensive strategy. Denver is shooting 42.6% from 3 this season, 2nd best in the league. They have shooters all around. You can’t play zone vs that.

Why are they putting Ant on MPJ? MPJ has 5-6” on Ant. Why isn’t Grant guarding him?

 

[riverman]

Dame is becoming a much better rebounder and defender this season...you can tell the difference

 

[Haakzilla]

...sorry, was just adding to your answer to guy -- no worries! #RipCity #LFG

 

[MickZagger]

Hart needs to start looking for his shot more

 

[blazerfan11]

That was an exhausting half to watch. Feels like we should be down by 20.

 

[DDolla]

What happened to Ant?

Also, Hart vs Gordon and Grant on Murray. Need to switch those around.

 

[riverman]

Something happened around here....I can post again without falling into the quicksand....even edited the post without feeling like I'm waiting in line for a beer at the Superbowl

We will be as soon as Jokic starts scoring

 

[riverman]

We will be as soon as Jokic starts scoring

3 fouls he picked up will help us out

 

[inconceivable]

Who else saw Sharpe wide open for a lob, he was calling for it. I believe it was Ant who missed him.
