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

Fuck. Jake is playing great help defense. When did he learn that?

 

[TBpup]

Open it up here....get a lead going into the 4th!

 

[VenomXL]

Gotta hit these open threes.

 

[illmatic99]

Jesus CJ, WIDE OPEN

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Blazers are getting good looks and just brickin them

 

[LuckyShot]

Can we stop pissing away these wide open 3s?

 

[BonesJones]

That's off Plums wtf

 

[Jade Falcon]

I hate Denver so much.

 

[TBpup]

Another GREAT screen by Jake to get a wide-open '3' for Aminu. It didn't go in but Jake was calling for the ball to go to Aminu well ahead of the action because he had Chief's man pinned.

 

[ripcityboy]

Never can have enough shooters in this fucking league.

 

[illmatic99]

Can we make a concerted attempt at getting Jokic in foul trouble? I know Terry doesn't give a shit about this usually but change it up for once

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

That's off Plums wtf

I think they called it off Aminu because they didn't want to call a foul on Aminu for jumping on Plumlee?

 

[BonesJones]

Stotts pick n roll defense is so annoying sometimes. Literally designed so that Meyers is stuck in between there. Not there to guard the lob pass, not there to guard Jokic's 12-foot floater... Basically, not there at all, because of that goddamn scheme.

Either it's a foul or it's not.

 

[Almir]

tied match. Will be till the end. GO Blazers!

 

[BonesJones]

I hate Denver so much.

Yeah, I kinda do too. I don't even know why...

Yeah I fucking hate watching it

Don't jinx it! I could easily see Denver just running away with this game in the 4th.

It's been the same PNR defense for years too, they almost never change it up even for stretches. The game Steph went off against the Blazers in the Playoffs and had like 14 points in OT or something like that. Golden State ran the same play like every time down the court and had Ed Davis out on the perimeter guarding him EVERY FREAKING TIME, I'm still bitter about it.

 

[illmatic99]

Aminu Turner lineup again.

 

[ripcityboy]

ET for Layman. Somebody give me some bleach laced with lie!

 

[BonesJones]

Great play out of the timeout Terry... .

 

[BonesJones]

Aminu guarding Jokic again.

 

[LuckyShot]

Cool, refs. So you going to let Jokic just elbow the fuck out of defenders for layups? Second time I've seen you fuckers let Denver do it.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

They literally don't call some of the most obvious things on Jokic, NBA loves to manufacture stars...

 

[BonesJones]

AMINU IS GARBAGE

 

[TBpup]

Calabro is PISSED at Jokic's elbow.

 

[BonesJones]

STOTTS!!!!!

 

[ripcityboy]

Stotts rotations are as robotic as old people fucking.

 

[BonesJones]

Why the fuck are we guarding Jokic with Aminu????????
