Bazmore reminds me of Ruben Patterson a bit.

 

[SIeepwalker]

Of course Tolliver misses the huge momentum shot

 

[VenomXL]

Solid close to the quarter after a miserable start.

 

[Thatbpguy]

I can hardly recall us missing 3's so badly in a game.

 

[illmatic99]

Missing so many wide open looks

 

[Titan]

Well it could be worse lol

 

[Natebishop3]

Tolliver watch 2019 - 12 minutes, 0 points, 0-1 shooting, 0 assists, 0 rebounds, 0 steals, 0 blocks.

Cut. This. Man.

 

[Hoopguru]

Can’t believe I’m saying this but if Tolliver is the backup for Zach we need Pau to get healthy FAST.

Skal

 

[GhostOfPGA]

Down 4, could be a lot worse. We need a big second half from Dame+CJ, they’ve been real quiet. I have confidence they snap into it though.

 

[VenomXL]

I think we answered that “who is the new Meyers/ET” thread. You guys are hilarious.

 

[LayneStaley]

I’d rather have Nards than Tolliver.

 

[James lamphear]

Very balance scoring close the QT out good. Whiteside already double double in the game.

 

[HailBlazers]

I can hardly recall us missing 3's so badly in a game.

And I can hardly remember us getting more than two steals in a half.

 

[SIeepwalker]

I'll take down 4 at halftime...

Baze is great on defense wow

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Toliver is totally this years Aminu/Turner.

Shoots 3's like Turner, and shouldn't create shots for himself like Aminu.

In terms of fan antipathy, maybe. In terms of usefulness he's no match for ET, let alone Aminu.

 

[LuckyShot]

Tolliver playing way too fucking much. He literally brings nothing to the table that I can see.

 

[riverman]

Hassan with 10 and 13 in 13 minutes of play...he gets a pt and board per minute..man

 

[Darkwebs]

Tolliver watch 2019 - 12 minutes, 0 points, 0-1 shooting, 0 assists, 0 rebounds, 0 steals, 0 blocks.

Cut. This. Man.

At least he makes me feel like I can be an NBA player.

 

[LayneStaley]

Gasol better take Tollivers minutes.

 

[GhostOfPGA]

Once Nurk and Pau get back, Tolliver will be a guy we love to see. Because it means we are up 20+.

 

[julius]

If Tolliver isn't hitting his threes, then what's the point of him?

A really underrated post.

 

[riverman]

We'll get better.

I like that the defense is solid with the starters

 

[HailBlazers]

I'm over Tolliver.

I'm over the complaining.

 

[James lamphear]

They are making every 3 pt shot they take it seems and we can't buy one tonight

There 3 are wide open and that hasn't changed from preseason on the defense side.

 

[Darkwebs]

Tolliver playing way too fucking much. He literally brings nothing to the table that I can see.

He's that guy who goes to a potluck empty-handed.

 

[Labinot41]

Tolliver is the new Turner lmao

 

[julius]

Like Wheels used to say, "My eyes don't deceive, so I have to believe!"

Yeah, I butchered that. Sorry Wheels.

 

[TBpup]

1st Half thoughts:

• Baze is a straight up thief
• Denver has no interest in driving when Whiteside is in the game
• Blazer bench looks very robotic in the half-court
• Collins called for 3 fouls and may not have actually committed a single one
• Dame will get more aggressive in the 2nd half
• ....still don't get why they signed Tolliver

 

[riverman]

I'm over the complaining.

This...

 

[wizenheimer]

Hassan: 10 points on 3 shots and 11 rebounds....ok half
