Do you think Dame will shoot from half court this season (not in an end-of-the-clock scenario) ?

That's some positivity but I think the Lakers with AD out are the better chance to get a W and that's also a very slim chance. Honestly I thought tonight was the best chance but they played well... not their best and we played about as badly as we can. With this roster that we are rolling out every night, with one guy over 6'8" who isn't even a good defender, this is a rough road.

There really is not a single excuse why we haven't picked someone up that's a post on a 10 day. Not a reason I can possibly think of. The 10 day contract window isn't closed, we don't even have to apply for the hardship clause because we have an open roster spot, we would get the hardship exception anyways. This is managerial negligence and there really isn't a good reason why it shouldn't cost Neil his job, if in fact we are trying to make the playoffs... which it looks like we will.

Donta Hall is a G League all star who gets 2 blocks a game, shoots 66 percent from the field on mostly dunks, gets 10+ rebounds is 6'10" and 230 lbs. Why the fuck wouldn't we give this guy a shot on a 10 day. He's on an unaffiliated team and he's their for us to give him a try.

At least a 2 way player if he not one yet.

There is talk about the brutal schedule the Blazers have had.
I looked at the Nuggets schedule. They just did a 4 game road trip with one B2B in it. This is their first game back after a road trip. So altitude could hurt them as well.
Obviously they have their injury issues as well. They lost to the Celtics, Wiz and Hawks on that road trip but got one win vs the Cavs.
Jokic is dealing with a couple nagging injuries just like Lillard. Sprained Thumb and a tweaked right ankle he is playing on.

This is as close to a "Schedule Loss" as i have ever seen. Combination of injuries, B2B, Type of opponent, Elevation just being in Denver, Mix in the way the Blazers have played the last two games and this one is already in the Loss column right?

Nope.... There is a reason they play the games. All it takes is one player getting a hot hand and the Blazers are in this game.
If they are close you never count Lillard out.

Go Blazers
Kjironman is a fan!!!

No, you are wrong.
 
Don't know if i can watch this one. On the other hand, Jokic might set some sort of record like 50-25-25 or something.

Agreed. We could have had Justin Patton. I don't know how good he is but Houston just signed him and he had three blocks in his first 20 minutes.

Theres a Nuggets forum somewhere that somebody posted our injury situation and saw Dame twist his ankle bad last night and are saying the same thing.

We have a better road record than Denver's home record. Let's get this!! Start a new win streak!

Road record means nothing when you go into Denver on a back to back. It's just a war of attrition at this point.

Perhaps, but facing an injured Kanter in the second round he never did that.
 
I think we can win this game but the bench has to step up and produce. But right now Simons have falling off and you got Melo that's think every shot looks good and you good Hood you just don't know from game to game. To me if I was Stotts I would play Little a lot tonight and to me he the X factor tonight but that's if he play Little more in the rotation.
 
Obviously we could win - Denver has lost to worst teams. I won't get too worked up if we don't - the most favorable game on this trip is the next one.
 
Luka just earned his starting position with 2 three's for the win. Thats how the media will spin it!
 
It seems we would get better looks at '3' if there was even the OCCASIONAL threat of a cut to the basket. Everyone just stands around the arc waiting for Dame to create. If Dame doesn't create, it is just a jacked-up contested '3'.
