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

[VenomXL]

Dame is fast as hell.

 

[illmatic99]

Ridiculous finish

 

[LuckyShot]

They have damn near 100 points. That's terrible.

They're shooting 50% from 3 and we're not allowed to defend Jokic, while he's also allowed to elbow defenders out of the way for baskets. They should have 100.

 

[riverman]

nice 5-0 run to stop the bleeding...down 5 is manageable

 

[BonesJones]

Great last 30 seconds there.

 

[Darkwebs]

Nice of Denver to fall asleep in the last 30 seconds of the 3rd quarter to give the Blazers 5 points

 

[LuckyShot]

Dame will never give up.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

If nothing else ET is good at that bounce pass to a cutter.

 

[KingSpeed]

5 quick points by Dame

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Well lets break that end of third quarter streak.

 

[ripcityboy]

Give credit to Dame. Took super human effort to keep us in this. Still feels like they are 10 seconds from TKO'ing us.

 

[SIeepwalker]

tonight we break the streak !

 

[TBpup]

Blazers need this game or Denver has the tie-breaker with 3 months left in the season.

 

[Chris Craig]

Blazers gonna break the down after 3 streak tonight

 

[twobullz]

Need to get some shots for Curry to start the 4th.

 

[illmatic99]

Give Dame his regular rest please

 

[illmatic99]

Blazers need this game or Denver has the tie-breaker with 3 months left in the season.

Why does it matter WHEN the tiebreaker is achieved

 

[BonesJones]

They're shooting 50% from 3 and we're not allowed to defend Jokic, while he's also allowed to elbow defenders out of the way for baskets. They should have 100.

That was one or two plays.

We had Meyers stuck in between on a Jokic pick n roll because of scheme. Coaching mistake.

Jokic lobbed to Plumlee, starting their momentum.

Then we guard Jokic with Aminu. Coaching mistake.

Jokic beasted Aminu in the post.

So we had the 4 helpside guys all with two-feet in the paint. Coaching mistake.

So they hit an open 3 and built momentum.

Then they hit a couple more.

Literally couldn't coach worse defense during that stretch. It happens near the end of the 3rd quarter all the time.

 

[TBpup]

Posting Layman? Wow...an actually play run for Jake. Now 13 points on 6 shots.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

ESPN annoys me so much. They're talkin about how amazing Harden is he shot 1-17 from 3. 11-32 from the field, and had 16!!!! FT's. No mention of how much of a ball hog he is though.

 

[LuckyShot]

That was great defense.

 

[SIeepwalker]

Jake in !

 

[BonesJones]

Great dig by Curry and then tipping the pass on recovery too. Great job.

 

[KingSpeed]

Jake takin over

 

[ripcityboy]

Terry makes some adjustments that makes sense. Finally!

 

[SIeepwalker]

This is Jake's world.

We're just living in it

 

[VenomXL]

ET playing bully ball.

 

[riverman]

now we're cookin'! ET with the cherry on top!

 

[illmatic99]

Great poise

 

[TBpup]

Blazers have drawn 3 fouls in the first 1:14 of the 4th. That is something that can help break the streak.
