Game Thread GAME# 44: BLAZERS @ NUGGETS - JANUARY 13, 2019 - SUNDAY, 5:00 PM, NBCSNW

[Jade Falcon]

I can't believe Layman hasn't played. Jeez.

......I thought he played in the opening minutes?

 

[VenomXL]

The answer to their question of the game I believe is Andre Miller

I loved Andre. One of my favorite Blazers memories was when he torpedoed Blake Griffin and subsequently broke his iron man streak.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

So why did Layman only get 6 minutes?

 

[BonesJones]

BlazersEdge had an article the other day that said "C.J. McCollum is NOT in a slump"....

Yeah, OK.

 

[DDolla]

ONE More quarter!!!

 

[BonesJones]

@BonesJones is right CJ seems to be much better at home. Like a 6th man (I added that part).

Just looked up his splits. I was wrong, he's actually been slightly better on the road this year.

 

[BonesJones]

ONE More quarter!!!

Actually, there's two.

That trend isn't going to apply IN Denver.

 

[Scalma]

FREE JAKE

 

[Jade Falcon]

I wish Nurk would develop a 3 point shot.

 

[James lamphear]

Defensely we were better that QT. Bench with 23 points and CJ needs to show up in the 2nd half.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

BlazersEdge had an article the other day that said "C.J. McCollum is NOT in a slump"....

Yeah, OK.

@wizenheimer keeps saying CJ isn't in a slump, this is just who he is.

 

[VenomXL]

So why did Layman only get 6 minutes?

Terry's robo-rotations. Jake is always moving without the ball. He needs to play more. Period.

 

[BonesJones]

@wizenheimer keeps saying CJ isn't in a slump, this is just who he is.

He's been worse than normal this year in terms of passing, rebounding, defending, and 3pt shooting.

His stellar 2pt shooting doesn't make up for that.

 

[Jade Falcon]

BlazersEdge had an article the other day that said "C.J. McCollum is NOT in a slump"....

Yeah, OK.

To hell with BlazersEdge. I stopped reading SB blogs over a year ago, and I don't regret it at all.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Denver leads in every category except bench points. I hope our bench stays hot.

 

[BonesJones]

Just sucks... His 2016-2017 season, he had 23ppg, on 48/42/91 splits (.585 TS%), as well as 3.6apg (Not good but not terrible).

I miss that.

 

[ripcityboy]

......I thought he played in the opening minutes?

Yeah. But Tery pulled him and he hasm't played since.

 

[BonesJones]

So why did Layman only get 6 minutes?

Because Stotts is a robot.

We have a very stagnant offense, and Jake is great at moving without the ball, and is a lob threat backdoor as well as a good threat off the curl or flaring out to 3. He's a good option in transition. He helps unstagnate our offense...

But nah, we have Turner out there to end the quarter with the starters...

 

[Jade Falcon]

Yeah. But Tery pulled him and he hasm't played since.

Terry is so bipolar when it comes to his coaching style.

 

[illmatic99]

CJ needs to get his shit together, this is embarassing

 

[KingSpeed]

Dallas up 5 on GS

 

[BonesJones]

LMAO

Terry is so bipolar when it comes to his coaching style.

I'm Bi-polar I. Trust me my friend. Terry's coaching style does not encompass the psychological traits of that horrible condition.

 

[BonesJones]

Yeah. But Tery pulled him and he hasm't played since.

Probably because he didn't shoot over 50% from both the field and 3pt line last game. So he's getting punished.

When you see the Blazers on an early lead on the road, you know what will happens next.

You are always such a ray of fucking sunshine.

 

[riverman]

Good start considering the competition...Go Good Guys!

I'm bipolar too. Same with my father. I meant no offense; it was just a criticism of his coaching style.

 

[kjironman1]

Terry is so bipolar when it comes to his coaching style.

So which is it robostyle or bipolar. Not much chance of being both?

 

[BonesJones]

CJ needs to get his shit together, this is embarassing

Just seems to be struggling to get the ball to the rim... It's so weird. He's missed front-rim a lot on his 3s this season, but he's fine from mid-range.

Needs to release the ball a millisecond earlier when he's going upwards slightly faster which would transfer a bit more power into the ball. I think this is the problem, he's releasing the ball too late. Sometimes he misses left/right because (IMO) he's straining his upper body to try to force the ball all the way to the rim, when instead he needs to fix his timing.

When he's shot well, it seems to me like he's releasing the ball a little bit earlier, and getting more power from his legs.

 

[RR7]

LMAO

They should just show him a scan of Bortles' brain.
