Game Thread 2022-23 Game #44 - BLAZERS @ NUGGETS - JANUARY 17, 2023 - TUESDAY - 6:00 PM (PDT) ROOT

This game was a test for Billups. He failed.

 

This is shitty because Dame's arms extend but KCP ran into Nurk on purpose and was flopping. It's going to be really hard for these refs to overturn this even though they should.

 

Ant is ice cold, again... yet he's still shooting a better % than our starting center. That's a tough combo to overcome.

 

Thank you Holton for pointing out bad Nurk def fundamentals.

 

Yeah, not blaming this one on him. Not sure what you're seeing but the players are executing terribly.

 

We were only in this game because Dame was blistering hot in the first half. He's just playing at his normal on fire level since and that's not enough for us to win with other guys missing shit.

 

Some people tell us that the starting unit doesn't matter, it matters who finishes.

Well, if it's the Portland trailblazers, it's one and the same. So it does matter.

 

Coming up small at the end again.

We need to have the lead, and a decent lead, with 5 minutes to go to win most games.

 

Dame did push him unnecessarily. It was a dumb foul on his part.

 

Probably won't change it, don't want to embarass the ref.

 

Every shot attempt is contested and a bad look. Not so much for Denver

 

And Coach Billups. Hard to tell the Blazers had a coach at all. He could have stayed at home.

 

This game is screaming for Joe to get Dame more help.

 

That should've been a no call and he should've let Dame lay on the floor for flopping. No reason for a whistle...

 

5 minutes in the 4 th without scoring is bad.
Never a good thing.

 

32 second half points. Awful.

 

Why are the starters still in the game?

 

Throw in the towel Chauncey...
