Game Thread GAME# 58: NUGGETS @ BLAZERS - APRIL 21, 2021 - WEDNESDAY, 7:00, NBCSNW

[KSF-ERIC]

how can you?

What I know is history. History shows us that beating teams in regular season has no bearing on how you’ll play them in playoffs. None. Playoffs start at 0-0 and no one cares if you beat them in February.

But it’s not a team. It’s all the teams. Cake schedule is what might get them in

 

[Chris Craig]

Let's win this motherfucker

 

[James lamphear]

This group just don't want to play defense just mind buggling how they come out.

 

[Chris Craig]

Good start

 

[Chris Craig]

Wood someone guard MPJ

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Who is supposed to guard Porter; seems we need RHJ or Little.

 

[JDC]

Can't contain the drive

Nurk hugging up on Jokic

Norm has been sleepy off ball again (4-5 instances already)

Offensively I like that we've been less reliant on Dame pnr

 

[Cugel]

bad lineup terry. You cant have melo, ant, and kanter all on the floor man.

 

[Cugel]

Porter Jr, career high, smelling it

 

[James lamphear]

I guess porter going do what wants already 15.

 

[B-Roy]

Stotts specifically brought Melo and Kanter in together

 

[DDolla]

Lillard, one of the best low post defender - Lamar Hurd

 

[Cugel]

Stotts specifically brought Melo and Kanter in together

Mind boggling. What does he expect to happen?

 

[Mr. Robot]

simons, carmelo and kanter on the court at the same time

+ dame, but we need dame or cj mccollum on the court at all times, so i get that

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Who is supposed to guard Porter; seems we need RHJ or Little.

well, I guess Little is not the answer.

 

[VenomXL]

Fun first quarter. No defense. Feels like an all star game.

 

[Darkwebs]

Blazers win the 1st quarter one. Can we end the game now?

 

[James lamphear]

Nice 1st quarter for the offense but again our defense is invisible.

 

[Chris Craig]

Blazers up after 1

 

[Cugel]

seems like stott's strategy is to just let MPJ shoot

Blazers win the 1st quarter one. Can we end the game now?

I ask my wife that every game.

 

[Mr. Robot]

Lillard, one of the best low post defender - Lamar Hurd

kent and hurd will say anything that helps them keep their job

that means speaking in superlative about stotts, our game, players, olshey etc

just never say anything negative, even if its true

 

[Chris Craig]

Nice 1st quarter for the offense but again our defense is invisible.

Hey they ended the quarter on a defensive play by Melo no less...very strange indeed

 

[Chris Craig]

Well Jokic isn't doing much

 

[B-Roy]

You can see CJs failures coming from a mile away

 

[bobf]

Melo doesn’t rebound.

 

[bobf]

Just staying in front helped RoCo block it

 

[VenomXL]

Good Melo

 

[bobf]

Melo HOFer because he take high volume of low percentage shots. Got it.

 

[James lamphear]

Melo hitting couple back to back but this group just not rebounding.
