Game Thread GAME# 47: BLAZERS @ NUGGETS - JANUARY 22, 2018 - MONDAY, 6:00 PM (PST), NBCSNW

[BonesJones]

I will never be an Aminu fan because of games like this. Fucking scrub choked away the game.

 

[Jade Falcon]

We never played with urgency in this game. We played down to their level. Typical Stotts basketball.

I hate that man so much.

 

[BonesJones]

Fuck Aminu

 

[trailblazer18]

I like Aminu, but that stretch with a couple minutes left where he went full dummy really killed us.

 

[riverman]

WHY THE FUCK WOUKD WE THROW IT INSIDE THE FUCKING ARC?

the and one.....stops the clock

 

[B-Roy]

That free throw fucked us.

 

[Mr. Robot]

He's made some great passes tonight. And his D is awesome.

that doesnt give him right to be stupid

 

[A$AP Meyers]

Stotts is an absolute joke.

 

[Cippy91]

Dame only gets two free throw attempts the whole game. Go figure.

 

[ripcityboy]

One look at CJ's stat line, I think I can figure out one reason we lost.

 

[rotary111]

Wow! Was that a plan? Throw it inside if you can't get a 3?

 

[Darkwebs]

 

[TBpup]

Every Nugget not named Murray....20-64. Stotts needs to refund his game check.

 

[riverman]

Credit Denver...they played us tough all game...never really a run by either team all night...get the next one...Go Blazers!

 

[jonnyboy]

That was nice of us to give Denver the game.

 

[BonesJones]

We let Murray drop 38 on us because Stotts.

 

[KingSpeed]

That's likely a 3 game difference at the end of the season.

?

Played like a chicken with his head cut off. But where was Stotts to reign him in? For fucks sake.

there were about 21 ties in this game..I wouldn't say anybody gave anything away...the whole game was lead change after lead change...playing at altitude...we came up short

He hasn’t been good for a while now. When he doesn’t score, he doesn’t contribute a thing. Yeah aminu sucked tonight too but at least he contributes defensively and grabs boards. What’s cj’s excuse? If cj would of just made a couple more shots, that’s game. I don’t know why aminu had the ball in crunch time. I don’t know why we never double the guy that’s hot meanwhile they trapped dame all game including on the last possession and it worked. As much as I wanted to believe in a win streak, stupid me, this is a mediocre team.

With all that said though Damian lillard should absolutely make the all star game

 

[BonesJones]

?

Instead of being 4 ahead, were 2 ahead, and it sways the tiebreaker as well.

 

[KingSpeed]

That sounds like a good strategy actually. Let one guy go off and completely shut down everyone else. Our defense wasn't the problem.

 

[BonesJones]

Talking about the last play.

CJ shot about the same percentage as Chief tonight....nobody calls him out...he shot 21% Chief shot 20% ....that's the game

True. Aminu and CJ killed our offense.

This. The whole "CJ is better than Dame" argument went right out the window, and good riddance.

 

[illmatic99]

Couple things.

1. Why did Aminu shoot so much? Holy shit, you're off, and you have no touch. If you're missing shots, PASS THE BALL.

2. Why didn't we go to Nurk more in the fourth?

3. Why the hell did we go for two when we needed a three with like 3 seconds left and no timeouts? That's Terry's offensive genius? We gave them a game. Absolutely gave it away.

4. Dame needs to stop trying to draw fouls on the inbound in the ends of games. He never gets that whistle and it fucks up our rhythm on offense.

Dame's missed FT is killer, but the team playing so clueless in the fourth is why we need to get Dame some help. God damn, that was frustrating.

 

[BlazerBeav]

We absolutely gave a game away to the lesser team. Had a multi possession lead late and score only 6 points in the last 3:40.

 

[riverman]

Talking about the last play.

no time outs left...couldn't advance the inbounds pass
