Game Thread PRESEASON GAME# 3: BLAZERS @ NUGGETS - DECEMBER 16, 2020 - WEDNESDAY, 6:00, NBCSNW

[Hoopguru]

Better get Cov and DJ involved.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Dame has been kinda off the past couple games.

He had a great first game though

 

[AldoTrapani]

Covington had some nice defensive plays

 

[Natebishop3]

Yikes take out DJJ, RoCo and Nurk and the defense gets much much worse.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Defense really drops off once Roco and Jones out.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Last game I was bitching about piped in crowd noise. Now I am sick of the non-stop talking by these announcers.

 

[Natebishop3]

I get really fucking sick of seeing every team hit three after three on us.

 

[Titan]

Glad it’s preseason, we look bad right now

 

[DDolla]

Still the worst team guarding 3s lol

 

[PHXBlazer1]

I guess we’re not gonna guard the three point line

 

[AldoTrapani]

Denver is damn good

 

[Natebishop3]

It’s really obvious that RoCo and DJJ can’t both be out of the game.

 

[illmatic99]

denver getting anything they want

 

[TBpup]

I didn't really want Melo back and every time I see him, I'm reminded of why. He has turned into a complete Iso machine. The offense just STOPS when he touches the ball.

 

[James lamphear]

We are getting out play right there shooting 50 percent from the 3 and there controlling the boards.

 

[illmatic99]

It’s really obvious that RoCo and DJJ can’t both be out of the game.

might be onto something here. esp if we insist on playing melo/kanter together.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Looks like a typical Stotts team. We don't believe in cutters despite our athleticism.

Stotts is already parking his wings in the corner.

WHAT A FUCKING WASTE.

 

[B-Roy]

CJ is still a problem.

 

[Cugel]

Too many double teams leads to wide open totally uncontested 3s. A hot shooter can quickly put portland down by double digits.

 

[B-Roy]

It’s just hard to have more than one defensive liability on the floor at the same time, and we have one playing 36 mpg and getting paid 30 million.

 

[Tince]

Good reminder of why Boston would not play Kanter.

 

[bobf]

Foul?

 

[craigehlo]

Kanter is garbage.

 

[Natebishop3]

This second unit plays zero defense. It’s a glimpse back to last season. This second unit won’t work. Period.

 

[Cugel]

Typical stotts defense. In other words no defense .

 

[AldoTrapani]

Yea Denver is way better than us guys

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Lillard not playing good D

 

[craigehlo]

Stottsball is Back!

 

[illmatic99]

jesus, this is embarrassing.

 

[B-Roy]

Denver getting whatever they want off one pass.
