Game Thread 2023-24 GAME #50 - BLAZERS @ NUGGETS - FEBRUARY 4, 2024 - SUNDAY - 5:30 PM PST - ROOT

[Everything Beagle]

I feel like when Shae comes back you have to run him at SF if he starts. I can't imagine Scoot not starting for much longer, and Simons is way too good not to start.

 

[Chris Craig]

Malcolm and Grant are out.
the betting line gave Denver a 15 point spread

Trade incoming?

 

[GrandpaBlaze]

Blazers looking good. I see a lot of team ball and minimal ISO ball. Like it.

 

[blazerkor]

Inspired start from these young guys.

Whatever has Scoot playing this well, needs to continue. Don't mess with it!

This is why Grant needs to be traded. He just isos all game.

 

[bemac]

That's short-sighted. Being mediocre is NBA Purgatory.

Playing shit basketball is NBA purgatory...Young guys learning to play the right way with some vets is how you break out of it.

 

[Whyachi]

R3eeeeeeth !!

 

[Whyachi]

Nuggets are a bunch of brickers.
Denver fans want their money back.

It coincided with bloggers and podcasters labeling him a bust

 

[beast blazer]

How are we up?

 

[Cugel]

DEN is smothering this lineup. Havn't had a high percentage shot in minutes

 

[blazerkor]

How are we up?

Guys flying around the court, good ball movement and we're hustling on defense and making it messy for them.

 

[Whyachi]

airball, blocked shot, mega brick, Coach Billups calls timeout to discuss the Blazers bad offense.

 

[Whyachi]

Matiss3

 

[B-Roy]

Oh DA, that’s going on Shaqtin

 

[twobullz]

Twin towers with Ayton and Duop on the floor at the same time.

 

[PCmor7]

Reath and Ayton on the court together?

Ayton guarding Jokic unlike the other night?

I like this. I know Jokic will put up big numbers, but he always does. Seems like he's being made to work more, though.

 

[Whyachi]

Kris Murray trying to stop Jokic looked a bit lopsided

 

[B-Roy]

I didn’t realize we don’t play until Thursday which is trade deadline day. Makes it more curious we rested both Grant and Malcolm.

 

[Whyachi]

Blazer fans in Denver getting some love on TV

 

[PCmor7]

I was just thinking of a Nuggets-Pacers NBA finals. All the 170-162 games because you have two teams heavy on firepower and being so lacking on defense.

 

[illmatic99]

Scoot only 1 of 6, but has 7 assists

 

[Everything Beagle]

Not that anyone's down on Scoot tonight but Scoot going 6-6 on FTs and 7 assists in 15 minutes more than makes up for shooting 1-6

 

[Whyachi]

Blazers big 14 point lead cut down to 3. It's my fault for turning on the game. My constant insults towards Root Television sent bad vibes.

 

[Everything Beagle]

We survived the first half. Really proud of how we stay competitive even against good teams.

 

[TBpup]

Scoot only 1 of 6, but has 7 assists

....with only 1 turnover. Good Scoot.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Scoot with 9/7

He’s really starting to show some consistency

 

[TBpup]

Blazers got 19 points out of Scoot's 7 assists in the 1sts half. WOW!!

 

[beast blazer]

Scoot with 9/7

He’s really starting to show some consistency

1-6 from the field, but still 9 points on 6 shots because of his FTS.
