Game Thread GAME# 26: BLAZERS @ NUGGETS - DECEMBER 12, 2019 - THURSDAY, 7:30 PM, TNT

[Strenuus]

Man Whiteside has been so good this season

phenomenal player

Imma save this for when he sucks for a couple games and you hate him.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Simons should be a better FT shooter than he is...

 

[Strenuus]

Man Simons has been so bad

Hes 20. Its not our fault you got brainwashed by olshey. Own it.

 

[B-Roy]

This team is hopeless defensively.

 

[BonesJones]

BOX THE FUCK OUT.... WTF. THIS IS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL SHIT...

 

[B-Roy]

Skal is bad. He's really bad on both end.

 

[blazerfan11]

The other team is shooting better on 3 pointers than overall shooting percentage. Nothing new!

 

[Strenuus]

Lol we have won one game against a team over .500 and people want to make the playoffs.

Like seriously, wtf?

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Skal is bad. He's really bad on both end.

That wasn't Skals fault. Carmelo didn't stick to his guy, he watched.

 

[BonesJones]

These things are so fixable. That's why I don't buy the "injury" excuse. We're absolutely clueless on where to be defensively, and then when teams do miss a shot, we run under the rim instead of boxing out and give up offensive rebounds. If we just played good positional defense and boxed out, we'd be up right now.

 

[James lamphear]

Defense really bad against the 3 we don't we play so far off the we react slow getting out on them.

 

[Labinot41]

Blazers make Nuggets offense look like an elite offense

Over under on 3 months before stotts notices it?

 

[blazerfan11]

What would the score be without Whiteside? 40 - 20?

 

[B-Roy]

Not talking about that play. Talking about him in general. His reactions are slow in a Meyers kind of way.

This

 

[BonesJones]

Gotta love possession where C.J. bring the ball up, dribbles 15 times, then throws it right to the other team.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Did you see Stotts' response to question about stopping Denver's scoring? SMH

 

[Labinot41]

Yeah Nurkic is not going to fix the problems

 

[BonesJones]

Our offensive system is so shit. Gotta love the play where the only option is Simons across the floor running away from the pass.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

I apologize.

 

[B-Roy]

My fear with Melo is that he was going to abuse the freedom Stotts gives his players on offense. It's starting to come to fruition.

 

[BonesJones]

Hezonja boxed out!!!

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

I didn't putting my kids to bed, what did he say?

 

[VenomXL]

Melo with the stupid gamble with three seconds left on the clock.

 

[blazerfan11]

Carmelo's 2 point shooting is atrocious. 41 percent before this game. Sadly there are even worse 2-point shooters on this team.

edit : Hezonja 38 percent, Bazemore 34 percent, TRent 33 percent, and Tolliver at an amazing 31 percent.

 

[Labinot41]

I love it when Melo has more shots than Dame!

 

[AldoTrapani]

No they aren't.

Look at what Porter Jr is doing and he barley plays for them lol

This team is absolutely better this year

 

[Chris Craig]

Fuck

 

[BonesJones]

Why the fuck is Hezonja in? Dude already has a turnover and has fallen asleep defensively on multiple possessions. Where the fuck is Little? This clown ass coach has no clue.
