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

[wizenheimer]

looked like a bullshit foul call on Sharpe

and for chrissakes...grab the defensive rebound

 

[Cugel]

Other than that messed up final bit to end the quarter, the bench did pretty well.

 

[illmatic99]

this was the denver injury report from this morning

 

[blazerfan11]

how is that a foul on Shae? Longest NBA possession.

What a crap call that was.

 

[OneSport3]

What was Ant thinking there? Dribble out the clock then throw the grenade to Sharpe? That was terrible.

And what happened to the Ant freezing out Shaedon conspiracy earlier in the year?

 

[MickZagger]

Collins just loves getting in the mix

 

[Cugel]

I never understand why those calls tend to go to the offense. It's a loose ball, anyone lays claim to it first come first serve.

 

[MickZagger]

I'm confused. You're bummed we didn't get a guy you said would suck with the Blazers?

Ugh that those were our targets to put us over the tax threshold

 

[blazerfan11]

We have Sharpe and Little. Throw some lobs on backcuts! They're so focused on Simons.

 

[Cugel]

Collins just loves getting in the mix

I love that about him.

 

[blazerfan11]

I don't understand our offense.
Putting zero pressure on the hoop.

 

[MickZagger]

this was the denver injury report from this morning

Questionable is on a lot of injury reports. It means game time decision

 

[blazerfan11]

What the fuck is going on with Simons.

 

[blazerfan11]

Yay!!! A fucking lob!

 

[OneSport3]

Wow, we’re actually winning bench minutes!!!

 

[blazerfan11]

Keep passing and hitting the open guy for a bucket. The more lobs the better.

 

[crandc]

Nas having an impact again.

 

[blazerfan11]

To me, it is criminal how underused Sharpe and Nassir Little are on lobs. Especially against a suspect defense.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Hope somebody else beside Lillard will start guarding Murray.

Jerami Will be guarding him in the 4th.

 

[blazerfan11]

There was nobody even looking at Nasir little on the weak side on that stupid play, where we went to Nurkic down the middle instead of throwing up to Little.
Cory Jez is right.

Edit: so it didn't work the first time do the blazers go to Nurkic down the middle again and get a turnover. What the hell.

 

[Cugel]

Seems like a lot of easy FB points for Denver. Give Dame some help

 

[OneSport3]

Teams that I have seen be successful against Denver have mercilessly hunted both Jokic and Murray on the defensive end. You can’t let them both hide on defense. Jokic can’t defend the PnR and Murray just can’t defend.

 

[illmatic99]

dame in that groove again.

that ball is coming so cleanly off his hands

 

[MickZagger]

Oh we got an Adelman on the sidelines for Denver tonight. May need to check on his water bottle

 

[AldoTrapani]

Simons was so much better earlier in the season

 

[DDolla]

Hitting 3s but not playing defense

 

[blazerfan11]

If Simons isn't making shots, put Nassir little in for him.

Simons really should not be in the game.

 

[blazerfan11]

Eubanks, Little, Sharpe are combined 5-5.

Simons is 3 for 10.

please, Chauncey Billups don't piss this game away.

 

[Chris Craig]

If Simons isn't making shots, put Nassir little in for him.

Simons really should not be in the game.

Yeah, he's hurting the Blazers tonight
