Time for a powerup!

Nice first quarter but we're only up 4 with us shooting 53% from three and the Nuggets shooting 17% from three. Those numbers are very unlikely to stay where they're at... ours likely to go down and theres likely to go up.

Still going to be a really hard game to win.
 
Like what I'm seeing tonight
 
This rotation isn't working.
 
Fantastic first half. Denver went on a 10-0 run, but Blazers adjusted, kept the lead, and went on a run of their own to build back the lead.

Got to keep it up in the second half.
 
Heck of a first half.

Toumani is ascending. His shooting has become consistent. If he comes back next year with a ballfake and drive as a changeup to that, he'll be in the neighborhood of borderline all-star and the Blazers become a much, much tougher team to beat.

Matisse is almost the same deal as Camara. His offensive game has become a weapon now. Now he's driving and dribbling behind the back? I'm here for that.

Great defensive approach on Joker, IMO. Make him a scorer. It takes more energy. Don't go for the ballfakes; he often presumes the defender will react to the first fake but he automatically goes to a third move that's actually just going back to his first. A couple of times Rob Williams let Jokic fake himself into bad shots by not biting (TBF, Timelord jumps so quickly he can wait to react on Jokic's shots).

Scoot, you need to stay on the floor, buddy. He's gone from so great at navigating screens to now he gets one or two fouls per game by getting caught trailing and then not being able to stop and running into the cutter/dribbler.

Deni with six assists and only one turnover, but that pass to Camara in the corner with the shot clock expiring was basically a turnover. Deni's passing sometimes feels like watching a guy with a live grenade.
