Ant gives one effort on both ends and then gives up. Yes the Nuggets are denying him but when his teammates are in trouble he’s gotta work harder to get the ball.
 
Terrible pass by Jamal Murray.
Easy Ant basket
 
Nuggets seem like they're cracking up. Too much good Blazer basketball.
 
When Ant is on, I'm not sure there's a better offensive guard in the NBA. He regularly scores against good defense in different ways. All that's really missing is consistently and getting to the line more.
 
I’m not sure if Ant is missing Ayton on the pick and rolls or he’s just not comfortable throwing the pocket pass, but there’s gold there and Ant keeps throwing it to the corner or the wing when Ayton has a run to the rim.
 
Now that last turnover on the post feed definitely is an example of Ayton not being physical enough. He has the mismatch. He has to make himself big and solid and seal. If he does, that's a layup.
 
I hate when Jabari gets into "I have to take every open 3" mode. That usually is more bad than good, and much more bad than good.
 
Nuggets finally broke through, up 2 to end the 3rd
 
Chauncey rotation is just bad. Took out both Simons and DA. The team is underman and should have one on the court
 
How is this lineup supposed to score

To some degree he's limited. He's going to have to play that a few minutes here or there just because of who is unavailable. Quick 3s by Jabari Walker aren't exactly making an already challenged offense look better, nor is Scoot getting right to the hoop and using the rim to reject his own shot.

Scoot's poor TS% is taking a beating tonight...

Yep, but he's taking good shots tonight. He'll have plenty of nights when they won't go in, but I'm just looking for good decision making, and honestly, he's doing a good job there.

Without Brogdon or Grant, scoot is just stuck with some awful spacing, and zero offensive creation when they go to the bench lineup. This is a situation in which he's set up to fail.
 
Simons got about a 2 minute rest.
Coach needs Ant to fix his offense.
 
Blazers gave up
 
Nobody wants to guard Jamal Murray.
Denver up 8, Billups needs a timeout.
 
Game over
