    The size/length advantage is so huge. Jokic and MPJ can get a clean look whenever they want. Gordon is getting the ball in the paint against guys giving up 3-5" and 30lbs.

    Grant is starting to hit shots, but outside of Dame it's not looking good out there on offense. On defense the Nuggets aren't missing at all. Just shooting over the Blazers like they aren't even there. Sucks.

    We’re down 10 pts and it’s not even the 4th. To say it’s over is just trolling or preferring to be miserable

    It can't be too bad because we are a 89 points with 39 seconds left to go in the 3rd. They just can't stop anybody.

    This game is winnable if Dame just quits being lazy and scores 70

    What a STUPID 2-for-1 the Blazers take a three, which leads to a long rebound, and an easy basket for the Nuggets because the blazer defense is not set. Then we miss another three-point attempt.

    if you cannot execute a 2-for-1 properly, don't do it.

    Nurk checking Jokic is giving me Chris Dudley on Shaq flashbacks.

    It's been the issue for years. Small, small and small starting at PG/SG/SF. Then in this game, Grant is smaller than their SG, and Jokic vs Nurkic is laughable. We were able to beat a 1-man team in Dallas, but unless a good team just falls apart, or our shooters go otherworldly nuclear, we just aren't at that level.

    Jokic with a triple-double in 28 minutes? My goodness.
