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

[BigGameDamian]

Our bench is just terrible!

 

[KingSpeed]

Seth Curry 30/7/4 tonight

Also, future Blazer Kevin Love 30/17

 

[Strenuus]

Tons of players are great at 20. Especially the great ones. Of course there's a chance he ends up great, but it doesn't look like it right now.

It is funny how people got brainwashed though. Im just the voice of truth to help people.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Lillard stop shooting those 3s man fuck just play within the flow man

He's trying to get in a groove.

 

[bobf]

Doncic isn't only better than Simons. He's better than maybe everyone on our team. I would say he is.

Way better.

 

[HailBlazers]

Tons of players are great at 20. Especially out of players who ended up great. Of course there's still a chance he will get there, but he's not looking good right now.

Tons! TONS I tell ya.

 

[Strenuus]

Just Simons? Lillard is shooting 2 of 8. Is that good?

You missed what I meant.

And yes, lillard is fine. Nice try, though.

 

[James lamphear]

Actually Simons been playing better then Dame or CJ this game. Because he got score on it doesn't mean it was bad D.

 

[Chris Craig]

Damn David Stern had a brain hemmorage

 

[VanillaGorilla]

Tons! TONS I tell ya.

Lots, at least.

 

[James lamphear]

He has been beat bad all half. 5pts

True!

 

[Chris Craig]

At least we are not getting blown out.... yet

Almost

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Almost

Its on the edge.

 

[James lamphear]

I always say who wins the rebound battle usually wins the game. There winning the rebound battle plus 8 offense boards.

 

[wizenheimer]

it seems like just yesterday, Oct 27, when Portland beat a team with a winning record. When will it happen again? tonight?....next year?

The only way it'll happen is if the other team beats themselves and misses a lot of shots...cause our defense aint gonna do anything.

Before this game, Simons had the same effective field goal percentage as CJ McCollum. He who gets paid $27 million to shoot the ball. It may not matter if he's 20 or not, but he's a lot cheaper than CJ McCollum.

 

[TBpup]

Good analogy by the Chuckster between the Clippers and the Blazers. They had Paul, Blake and Jordan but also had injury issues too but went as far as they could go and they broke it up and rebuilt. It certainly helps that they are a large market, even if every Blazer was healthy, are they on par with the Clippers or Lakers this year? Very doubtful.

 

[Chris Craig]

Its on the edge.

The edge, the edge, the edge of glory!

 

[BigGameDamian]

I agree with the Chusker! We need a trade.

 

[BonesJones]

REBOUND. PLEASE.

 

[Strenuus]

One has upside. One is capped. One can still get way better because hes 20. One is capped.

How hard is this to understand? Its so simple.

 

[BonesJones]

This is pathetic.

 

[Strenuus]

Whiteside is a double agent!

 

[blazerfan11]

Was Anfernee Simons guarding Jamal Murray right there? It looked like jv defense by someone.

 

[James lamphear]

Whiteside switch he has to cover he stop in between and Nuggets got easy layin

 

[KingSpeed]

I think we’re going to win this game.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

I dont want to sound negative all the time but as someone who loves good defense, this version of the Blazers is so frustrating to watch, not only are they out of position like 3/4ths of the time the effort kind of comes and goes. They make some highlight plays here and there I guess...

 

[JDC]

I think we’re going to win this game.

Neither team is playing like they really give a shit, so it's definitely possible.

 

[B-Roy]

Holy fuck does Denver really have 17 OREBs???
