    25% 3p to 60%. 2 To's to 9. Thats the disparity in the game right now. We need to slow down and stop trying to play so quickly, it has lead to some very bad turnovers and open shots for the Nuggets.

    I guess its how you look at it, I see us making a lot of dumb mistakes instead of the Nuggets playing good D.

    In case you have been living under a rock, this has been the blueprint to beating the Blazers for 3 years now. The Blazers have no outlet, no release valve. No wing on this team can make enough shots or plays to make defenses pay for doubling Dame on each possession. Nurk is not enough of a playmaker off the pick and roll. And yet we roll out the same fucking roster each year because "continuity" and "they'll figure it out". Stotts hasn't helped, but he's also been dealt a shit hand for dealing with this situation.

    Every Blazer shot is contested. Seemingly every Nugget shot is wide open. Fucking Terry Stotts. SMH.

    Yeah the forwards suck but this is a scheme and coaching problem if you cant figure out how to beat the same defense than thats just bad coaching.

    We don't have the talent to make teams pay for double teaming on every possession. And Dame is not LeBron or Giannis where he can just waltz into the lane against 3 defenders on each possession.

    First half thoughts:

    Sit Turner down. Leave him sitting

    Aminu hit his first and only 3...rode the bench to the half...why

    Wake up Nurk

    Say what you want about Stotts, but the personnel on this roster has flaws that no amount of scheming will magically turn it into a contender.

    Matchup dependent with just an average level IQ and enough guys you can ignore that it makes it really hard on our better offensive players to perform.

    Putting the ball in those guys hands isn't going to help either. Spacing, cutting and passing lanes are still compromised which affect Dame and CJ's ability to work off the ball.

    Theres so many things they can do scheme wise to keep from allowing the other team to trap. Maybe dont run the same screens at the top over and over for one...

    That’s why it’s time to just go a different route. Fuck it. We try again. Build it the right way I know it sucks but since 2015 we haven’t showed any resemblance of a team that’s ready to take that next leap
