Game Thread SEEDING GAME# 4: BLAZERS @ NUGGETS - AUGUST 6, 2020 - THURSDAY, 5:00, NBCSNW

[beast blazer]

Whiteside is making that decision this offseason real easy. We can find a cheap third center and have Collins backup Nurk.

and for the love of god stop playing Simons.

Not sure why herzonja lost the job to Simons

 

[jlprk]

Well, we're still in this thing. We might make it. We might make the playoffs!

 

[James lamphear]

Our bigs have start making there inside shots.

 

[blazerkor]

We won the game, that's all that matters. I wish everyone besides Dame and Gary would have brought more tonight but we got a win. We just need to keep plugging along and getting wins. CJ was a no show tonight and while we won't ever be able to count on his D, he will give us more on offense going forward. I still think Zach is shaking off rust an will get better with more games. Whiteside is going to show up when he wants to. Melo didn't have a great night. I don't know why Ant is in the rotation. Nurk just needs to play with a little more intention on every play, sometimes on offense he just flips the ball up like it doesn't matter, I like what we're getting from him, I just think he could give a little more. We are going to play better than we did tonight and we're going to get that eighth seed in the playoffs.

 

[Chris Craig]

Wonder why though?

Me too. I guess Plumlee was playing so well he left him in

 

[Scalma]

Neither should play. Give Nas his chance. Even Wenyen would be a better option.

 

[beast blazer]

Trent +19, carmelo -5

 

[James lamphear]

Simons thing might be coming from the top to play him I might be wrong. Mario actually wasn't that bad when he played.

 

[HailBlazers]

Dame Sucks @YouKnowWhoYouAre

 

[julius]

Wonder why though?

I would guess it's because at this point, there's no need to get HCA, since 4-5-6 pretty much are the same thing this year.

 

[beast blazer]

Wonder why though?

Mike maline is saving him for playoffs

Barkley just said Collins is going to be “a star for the next 10-15 years.” Said Nurk is All Star. Praised Trent too.

 

[kjironman1]

I have a trig midterm tomorrow and im being chased by guido the killer pimp.

That one goes back a ways.

Umm....did he mean to say trent?

 

[oldmangrouch]

Barkley just said Collins is going to be “a star for the next 10-15 years.” Said Nurk is All Star. Praised Trent too.

And this is an example of why I can't take Barkley seriously.

 

[beast blazer]

Trent is going to get a big contract. We should look to dump cj.

he also said Whiteside still starts.

 

[twobullz]

Nice win tonight. I think the biggest thing i have noticed in the first few games is our inability to finish down low. If our big's could finish a little better down low these games would not be so close

 

[Scalma]

And this is an example of why I can't take Barkley seriously.

things are gonna get tight with hood and Ariza back. But we need those guys. CJ? Not so much, but I’m not sure who he’d bring back in a trade.

 

[Chris Craig]

he also said Whiteside still starts.

Only in his mind

 

[Serbian]

CJ and Zach were total trash and whiteside was bad and melo had off game. Thank god we got Michael jordan!! I mean Dame Lillard

Damael Jordard

 

[tlongII]

Great win.

 

[Serbian]

I'll take the win, but it's sad the we needed Dame to tie the Franchise high on 3point makes to beat a nuggets team without 4 starters and hardly Jokic.

What can he do when CJ has worst game in about 2 years? Zach has been trash tonight so many turnovers and missed layups. Nurk is a beast but he misses too many bunnies. Melo also had bad shooting night and whiteside was total crap also. Dame and trent jr ballin

 

[kjironman1]

Denver is deep. One of those games where the bench brought some energy when the starters were needing rest for the Nuggets. Blazers didn't fold under pressure and answered the call.

Nice win! One they needed.

 

[Serbian]

Agree Trade CJ for a good winger

 

[GrandpaBlaze]

CJ has a bad game and there is a chorus of "Trade CJ!!!" posts.

I am not opposed to trading him if we can get an incredible deal but I have my doubts we can get similar skill in return. Sure he had an off night tonight but he is still a great player.

 

[DDolla]

Is Gary Trent a shooter in college or just a defensive stopper?

 

[GrandpaBlaze]

Is Gary Trent a shooter in college or just a defensive stopper?

I think he was known for his shooting and not for his defense. I think he has focused on defense and it shows. He could always shoot but he is really coming in to his own.

 

[kjironman1]

Agree Trade CJ for a good winger

I want to see what the three of them can do with Nurk and Collins. Trent still has another year on his contract.
Why not try to keep them both?
