Game Thread 2025-26 GAME #6 - BLAZERS VS NUGGETS - FRIDAY - OCTOBER 31, 2025 - 7:00 PM - KUNP - BLAZERVISION (3 Viewers)

[Chris Craig]

I mean, against Joker? I'll take okay.

I would have liked to see him in the paint more on offense.

He did net some rebounds for us and had a nice three point play on a fast break.

 

[MickZagger]

exactly what i was thinking. who's decision was it for him to try to miss?

That was a smart basketball play. Denver had no timeouts. Any coach worth a damn would’ve told their guy to purposely miss with 1.4 seconds left.

Even if he makes the likelihood of a full court pass Christian Laetner style play is very fluky. Generally the hit the rim but dont make it is executed better

 

[Everything Beagle]

They don't act like it all the time, but there are these moments when the team just looks like they've been there and they belong. Jrue's shining on everyone out there. What a great trade. I'm so glad he's back with us.

Net some rebounds? 15 is some?

If he misses, Denver has no time outs. How is Jokic supposed to lumber down the court in 1.2 seconds to receive the pass?

Knowing/thinking we'll miss it on purpose also keeps Jokic at the key to rebound, which means he can't catch the pass to make the shot.

On a FT in this scenario, does the clock start the instant a missed FT hits the rim or when someone grabs it?

 

[Chris Craig]

I just meant he got us rebounds but struggled on offense.

 

[tlongII]

Loved the win. I just don’t understand why they shoot so many 3’s when they’re so bad at it.

When the ball is touched

When it's grabbed ("when a new possession is obtained")

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

GREAT WIN

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Kris looks like he can be a very good 6th man.

Highly impressed with his development.

 

[RippedCity]

the jump ball that toumani got was a lil generous. he looked like he was bear hugging jokic

In Portland, the reach around is allowed and even encouraged. Ask Strenuus.

 

[RippedCity]

Anyone else notice Slpitter has a Phil Jackson thing

What thing? Boning the owner's daughter?

I really really like his game this year. He makes shit happen.

Grabs it.

But it’s usually a catch and oh fuck hot potato type situation. Not a glide over to the sideline and make a calculated pass like on a make.

We call that the Naked Bike Ride

 

[wizenheimer]

He did ok, not great.

he had 15 rebounds in 24 minutes; 7 on the offensive glass. And for the most part he kept Jokic out of the paint; not easy. He did really well I thought

 

[julius]

Ooh hey, just realized, the Blazers are 1-0 in the cup!

 

[Everything Beagle]

Ooh hey, just realized, the Blazers are 1-0 in the cup!

Yeah we have to recognize the reason for that ugly-ass court!

 

[TYDame]

Damn, that was crazy. Did not know they will win that game.

 

[GrandpaBlaze]

4th in the west. Haven't seen anything like this in years!

 

[MickZagger]

Ooh hey, just realized, the Blazers are 1-0 in the cup!

And once again we can say, it’s a great day to be a Blazer

Tie breaker vs Golden State and LA

Now you know.

 

[GrandpaBlaze]

Tie breaker vs Golden State and LA

With tiebreaker, does that technically make us 3rd?

 

[tlongII]

We got Time Lord back!

 

[TYDame]

Anyone saw how Tiago was coaching on the side line before the Toumani block? Dude was locked in.

 

[Everything Beagle]

Tiago is a good coach. I like what he sees in the players, and what he's getting from them on the court is shocking given all that's happened. Have we ever had a coach start his first season with us 4-1?
