Game Thread GAME# 31: BLAZERS @ NUGGETS - FEBRUARY 23, 2021 - TUESDAY, 7:00, TNT

[TBpup]

For those who have been wanting to see how Kanter would defend at 30ft... there you go!

Horrible idea!

On perhaps the slowest player in the league. And still got blown by.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Damn so we go from 6 straight wins to boom about to be 4 straight losses

what a turn of events

 

[illmatic99]

Blazers offense just isn't going to cut it against the better teams. It is basically everyone hanging around looking for a '3'. There is no threat of cuts to the basket so good teams can just keep forcing out on the shooters.

we win this fairly easily if even one of cj or nurk was playing

 

[DDolla]

We lost because it’s back to back. It’s hard to win at Denver

 

[Tince]

Where the fuck is roco and why is Kanter ahhh nevermind we’ve got an idiot in charge

You want 6'6" Roco on Jokic?

 

[illmatic99]

been calling for this all quarter here.

 

[PCmor7]

Third game in a row we've completely lost our poise.

I don't know if I'm allowed to post that, though, since I was called a troll last night for saying the loss to the Wizards was a killer because of the upcoming schedule. Maybe if we didn't put ourselves in these positions and lose I wouldn't post that. But, oh well, let's all sing kumbaya and talk about how individual plays don't matter, individual games don't matter, stretches of plays and games don't matter, yada, yada, yada, it's all sunshine and unicorns.

Why would Stotts tell Kanter to get up on Jokic 40 ft from the basket??? Make it make sense.

 

[BlazerBeav]

At full strength we are definitely better. But still could’ve won this.

 

[James lamphear]

If you notice we been having trouble even to score 100 points. Our offense is all about 3 point shots and iso totally not good.

 

[Scalma]

a literal stationary lamp post would be preferable to Enes Kanter defensively.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Unfortunately Dame will never become an MVP.

Mehh he plays for a trash franchise it’s not his fault. He could easily if he went somewhere else.

I actually respect him more he allows us to keep him

 

[Labinot41]

Hard to be MVP when you can’t shoot the ball.

 

[twobullz]

I don’t think Trent has taken a shot in the 4th. They need to run plays to get him open shots.

Rat ball offense all game long. 4-8 against teams above .500.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

So glad Stotts has a timeout left with 9 seconds down 6....

 

[Tince]

I'm not going to back Kanter's defense, but putting RoCo would not be good either. Not to mention, he's been worthless on offense tonight as well.

Sure, but to become an MVP you have to be great over a full season, Dame has stretches where he's great, but that's not enough

 

[VenomXL]

Win six straight. Lose three straight. Nice.

 

[BlazerBeav]

The two points RoCo gifted them ended up being big.

 

[DDolla]

Now we will play an angry Lakers and Shroeder is back.... ugh!

Such consistency is rare. Maybe if we keep Stotts another season things will change.

We don't run plays

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Hard fought game.

Tough loss.

 

[bobf]

Look at that shit. Why can’t dame do what Murray is doing to generate looks off those screens. How do these other teams have their stars do it man

Yet somehow Dame gets 72% more assists than Murray. Bet your neighbor’s grass is greener.

 

[illmatic99]

8 fouls all game. with that kinda contact against dame.

jeez

 

[BlazerBeav]

10 total fouls on Denver. Give me a break.

 

[riverman]

Stayed with it, just came up short...I hate the way the game is being called..they need to protect players better than they have been
