Game Thread 2022-23 Game #44 - BLAZERS @ NUGGETS - JANUARY 17, 2023 - TUESDAY - 6:00 PM (PDT) ROOT

[TBpup]

What a crock! The Denver player completely shoved Sharpe as he hit the ball off him going out of bounds. Right in front of the ref. #3BlindMice

 

[dviss1]

He completely SHOVES Shaeden outta bounds on that play RIGHT in the referee's lap. NO call....

 

[dviss1]

Just keep playing Defense!

 

[dviss1]

I swear we miss WAY too many layups... Nas USE YOUR LEFT BRO... JESUS.

 

[Tince]

eh? didn't we win those mins in the first half?

Outlier

 

[B-Roy]

I’m getting serious CJ vibes from Ant, if he’s not hitting shots he’s such a liability

He settles WAY too much. GO TO THE RACK...

 

[Freshtown]

Feels like Denver isn’t even trying.

 

[illmatic99]

ant was not missing those kinda shots the last two years.

dude is cold

 

[AldoTrapani]

Haha Nurk has to be the least respected 40% 3PT shooter of all time

 

[Chris Craig]

Haha Nurk has to be the least respected 40% 3PT shooter of all time

Not 40% tonight

 

[illmatic99]

hate that we might be wasting another dame 50 piece.

this one is over

 

[TBpup]

Jokic just playing around Standing flat-footed on the ground, catches and lazily tosses up a side arm layup without even moving.

 

[blazerfan11]

Substituting players is not an option for the Blazers even though we're behind.
So it's over.

Been saying that for awhile now. He perfect in a bench scoring role. Microwave

It really stinks.

Shooting 31% from 3 this month. 6% lower from than his 2nd worst month this season.

 

[dviss1]

Nurkic looks terrible on Defense tonight. Slow. Out of position. A step late. Switching unnecessarily...

 

[AldoTrapani]

Jokic is shooting 13-14 with a 30 plus triple double right now lol

 

[MickZagger]

That’s just not winning ball with offense like that

 

[blazerfan11]

This game was a test for Billups. He failed.

 

[blazerkor]

This is shitty because Dame's arms extend but KCP ran into Nurk on purpose and was flopping. It's going to be really hard for these refs to overturn this even though they should.

 

[Chris Craig]

Yeah, embarrassing

 

[Tince]

Ant is ice cold, again... yet he's still shooting a better % than our starting center. That's a tough combo to overcome.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Thank you Holton for pointing out bad Nurk def fundamentals.

 

[Chris Craig]

That was a flop on KCP's part. Refs won't overturn it probably. That KCP has to resort to that when the game is in hand is pretty fucking pathetic.

 

[dviss1]

This game was a test for Billups. He failed.

Yeah, not blaming this one on him. Not sure what you're seeing but the players are executing terribly.

 

[blazerkor]

We were only in this game because Dame was blistering hot in the first half. He's just playing at his normal on fire level since and that's not enough for us to win with other guys missing shit.

 

[blazerfan11]

Some people tell us that the starting unit doesn't matter, it matters who finishes.

Well, if it's the Portland trailblazers, it's one and the same. So it does matter.

 

[PCmor7]

Coming up small at the end again.

We need to have the lead, and a decent lead, with 5 minutes to go to win most games.
