Finally, Roy hits a shot
 
maybe Roy is having sympathy pains for Joel.

It looks like LMA was just standing around, letting the rebound hit the floor and Denver just picks it up.

Seriously, this is easily Roy's worst game ever.

chris_in_pdx,

Look at it from this perspective:

Denver's game plan: Get the ball out of Roy and Aldridge's hands and force others to beat you - ACHIEVED

Portland's game plan: Let Bayless and Miller be the leading scorers - HIGHLY UNLIKELY
 
Roy silent protest of the Travis trade.

You might also look at it from this perspective:

Denver's game plan--allowed Portland to score 106 points in regulation

Portland's defense--gave up 58.9% shooting

Portland's offense--led by Miller and Bayless--was sufficient to win the game, if the defense played up to par.

You just summed the game up. Denver was able to do that, they won. Why is that Nate's fault? Why does blame have to be laid at all? Denver played a better game than Portland, they won handily. The Blazers were without their center, and their best player is still hurting with a sore hammy.

82 game season. This one doesn't hurt much at all, not like that Utah game a couple of weeks ago. Better team won. Move onto the next game.

Oh yeah, and the Lakers lost today. Good times!
 
It's games like tonight that makes me sometimes wonder why the team even bothers to put on a front that they give a shit.

What I was trying to say is that it's the coach's job to make adjustments. We didn't see that the whole game. If it's this easy for the opposition to eliminate your two best players from the game, then we are screwed.

I agree. The Lakers loss and Dwight Howard's constant abuse of Pau Gasol kinda makes up for this.
 
The Blazers did continue to battle back. Each time they got close Denver got serious, but it's not like the Blazers got blew out early and just cruised.
 
Well, that game was just what I expected. Having been at the game, the score was a lot closer than the game was. I hate the Thuggets, but they toyed with us tonight.
 
I'm not typically hard on Roy, but I agree with this...

Denver Stiffs - A SB Nation Denver Nuggets blog

Stiff of the Game

-Brandon Roy: Beyond the fact that Roy missed 11 of his 14 shot attempts, his body language stunk from the opening tip. In uncharacteristic fashion for a player of Roy's caliber, the Blazers star player didn't appear to want to be on the Pepsi Center floor tonight and instead just went through the motions without ever attempting to impose his will on the game. If I were a Blazers fan, I couldn't be more disappointed in Roy's performance tonight.

Next home game vs SAC. This is the sign I would make.

Miller's Dunk Priceless = Roys Play Gutless
 
You guys see Bayless on the bench after Miller's dunk? He looked so confused! lololol

I caught that! It was hilarious! Dunk was awesome btw. Too bad it didn't ignite the spark I'd hoped it would.

I notice the new guy looking happy as all get out about the dunk.
 
It's not like I am dissapointed. I expected a loss to Denver. I did not expect how it happened though. The only positives to take away really, is that I think the backup guards continue to show growth. Batum had a rough game tonight, and really hasn't played well offensivly since his brief outburst. He got jipped on a couple of defensive calls, but that happens against Carmello. He has to get a reputation himself before he will start getting those calls.

Basically the reason the Blazers lost this game though comes down to Denver being physical with our two main scorers. The game was in reach the whole night. The only reason we couldn't get close is because of the two main guys unable to get their game going.
 
Nene shuving Andre Miller and another Blazer under the basket was gross. Comcast sportsnet showed that twice and Nene getting the call (FT's) a few seconds later. That pissed me off.

You can either

A) Be the physically dominating team.

B) Be the team that is physically dominated.

Don't look for the refs to bail you out. The league has always been ruled by the more physically dominating teams.

Simply put, this team needs to grow a pair.
 
I wasn't expecting a win without Camby. Nene and Anderson were just too much size for Howard. It didn't help that B-Roy played the shittiest game of his career and Batum got into foul trouble on some bogus calls and Nate decided not to play Batum.

We have 5 very winnable games coming up. We need to take care of business and as long as Camby's around when the playoffs come around we'll be fine.
