Who needs deandre Jordan when you have Zach Collins

 

[riverman]

CJ needs to make a shot

 

[illmatic99]

How many layups we gonna miss?

 

[BrianFromWA]

VERY Good.

And we're having a garbage shooting quarter, but our defense is keeping us in it.

Haven't typed that clause very much in the last few years.

 

[Cippy91]

For those of you enamored with assists and Dame's lack of them, that is literally the 4th wide-open 3 he's teed up for someone. 2 misses by Chief, one by CJ and one pass to a miss. Dude could literally, on a better=shooting night, have 7 assists in the first 6 minutes of the game.

I have been saying this but some people on this forum lack basic basketball knowledge and I guess some don’t have eyes either. His team mates are mediocre. The amount of times this game and in the past I have seen a great pass by dame yet not finished by team mate is absurd

 

[Darkwebs]

Collin is the anti-Meyers. I keep asking how he contests those shots at the rim without fouling, while for Meyers, I often ask he how keeps fouling when contesting shots.

 

[SynTax]

Awful quarter from Cj. Nine minutes without a single stat to show for it. I suspect he will play better from here on out.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Shouldn't Denver have a giant nugget for a mascot?

Meh, I don't think "the forum lacks knowledge" or are blind (except maybe dviss, but that's a work-related disability). Because some have a pessimistic view of what 3-8 on the roster are doing vs. what they're supposed to be doing, and some an optimistic one, you'll get debate.

But I don't think anyone seriously thinks Dame needs to be gone.

 

[Cippy91]

Well cjs offensive woes aren’t helping but I’m sure he will pick it up

 

[BrianFromWA]

I think Shabazz leads the league in "making my center get a turnover because I stop short on a baseline cut". If there was a "turnover assist", he'd be the John Stockton of it.

 

[RipCityDSCPL]

I just thought he was out for like 10 games. Thanks?

You're welcome?

No seriously, I was just trying to be witty.

Regarding Wheels I wouldn't be surprised, due to his health problems' that Wheels only announces home games and that Lynn guy does the road. Would be the best thing for Wheels.

What do you think?

 

[riverman]

They have several but smoke them up before each game

 

[A$AP Meyers]

CJ looks terrible lol

 

[MickZagger]

Does Connaughton remind you of Danny Ainge a little bit?

 

[illmatic99]

CJ short on absolutely everything

 

[BrianFromWA]

CJ is 0-5 with 4 baaaad misses. He's too good to have that happen for too long, but I wonder if DEN is the "playing against the triple option" equivalent where, it doesn't matter how good you are, it's a funkiness that messes with your normal game.

 

[Cippy91]

From that angle that was definitely clear path but god forbid the trailblazers organization get calls

 

[illmatic99]

Chandler was riding him the whole way WTF

 

[TBpup]

Sure Dame could have 7 assists if the team was shooting 100% from '3' early on. Perhaps a bit high of an expectation from any team.

 

[MickZagger]

I love when our guards start getting that tunnel vision.

 

[BrianFromWA]

there were about 3 fouls on Pat right there. Gottabefukinkiddinme

 

[Scalma]

Zach’s defense

 

[A$AP Meyers]

Collins is going to be so f-ing good

 

[BrianFromWA]

Sure Dame could have 7 assists if the team was shooting 100% from '3' early on. Perhaps a bit high of an expectation from any team.

What's your expectation of how many wide-open 3's go in? extrapolate however you'd prefer. 4 assists in 6 minutes is pretty good. as is 5. as is 6. as is 7.

 

[illmatic99]

Bad foul by CJ.

 

[MickZagger]

Haha

McCollum does the Mahorn on Lyles.

 

[RipCityDSCPL]

That's what our new consultant is for.

 

[TBpup]

Chandler was riding him the whole way WTF

...and then the sideways shove at the end.

Now CJ with what will probably be a Flag 1.

 

[SynTax]

Dumb play by Cj.
