Game Thread Game #61 - BLAZERS VS NUGGETS - FEBRUARY 27, 2022 - SUNDAY - 6:00 PM (PDT) ROOT SPORTS

[James lamphear]

Is he playing shitty on purpose?

Why you asking the answer probably not but if your shot not going then be selective about your shots and find others things to help the team.

 

[Mr. Robot]

we could use dame, nurk, little & winslow

 

[blazerfan11]

Why is Chauncey taking a timeout? Not much he can do.

 

[illmatic99]

i need ant to get hot for a few mins or im turning this shit off. this is tough to watch

 

[OneSport3]

Denver is playing around too much. They could put this away early if they just gave it to Jokic down on the block on every possession.

 

[Chris Craig]

Why not

 

[blazerfan11]

You can just as easily make sure you lose by throwing a close game

What if both teams are trying to lose?

I understand if they are going to tank, but play some good basketball anyway

he's a masochist.

i suppose we all are for watching this

The Nuggets? Yeah, they are trying to lose by maintaining a 20 point lead.

You still coach the team no matter what the score is you just don't throw up your hands say hell with it.

 

[illmatic99]

how this is not a 30 pt game is beyond me. if Ant was even remotely normal on his shots, we'd be fully in this game.

Turns out being competitive is hard when you only have two NBA quality players in your rotation.

 

[illmatic99]

dont think chauncey liked that shot from ben

 

[GrandpaBlaze]

I wonder if part of it is instructing and seeing who actually follows/executes the instructions during the game. It is one thing to follow during practice but another during a game.. He is likely continually seeing which guys fit best in his system as he plans for next year.

It’s a practice game against real NBA players.

Half these guys at least are gone

 

[TBpup]

Holy brick laying Batman! This is epically brutal 3-pt shooting.

 

[illmatic99]

lol that was an audacious split by ant. looked like kobe there

 

[illmatic99]

man Boogie has really slimmed down

 

[Fairly-Hard]

These guys are not really NBA level players.

 

[blazerfan11]

People starting to flow out of the arena.

 

[illmatic99]

draft lotto is still 3 months away. oi

these last 20 games, cronin. that's all im giving you of this garbage.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

The tank is real. Might as well sit Simons the rest of the season. BW’s got this.

 

[illmatic99]

fellas

its a 30 pt game. easy

 

[maxiep]

This is textbook tanking. We are barely fielding a G-league quality roster. Just awful. This roster will have four people from this season on next year's roster.

 

[oldmangrouch]

It looks like someone forgot to tell these guys that they are auditioning for their jobs.

Dame, Nurk, Simons, Hart? Sounds about right.

Those were my four.

It is now!
