Game Thread GAME# 47: BLAZERS @ NUGGETS - JANUARY 22, 2018 - MONDAY, 6:00 PM (PST), NBCSNW

They didn't run a single play for Aminu. DEN were playing the 2016 Clippers playoff series defense on Dame with two guys trapping him up top. (how much do you want to bet that Plums suggested this). Aminu was the release guy and unlike Plums who knows what to do with the ball, Aminu kept jacking jumpshots and driving into traffic.

Terry should have forced them to change coverage by screening for Dame with someone else, but he didn't.

 

Too shame for this match. It was in our hands. That missed FT

Anyway let's go, still many games to play.

Must go to work in hour, didn't sleep if anybody ask me anything- i will tell 'that missed FT'

 

Allen will make Olshey do something. Have no idea what it is but I can't imagine he's paying all this dough and not expecting better results. Thing is, I think they are right where they should be.

 

Gee.....NOW he gets it.

Fuck that clown shoe. Terrible coach.

 

Tough one to take... games was on our control... shouldn't have take the last TimeOut, it was a questionable call. It happens. Next one we need to want it more. Is a must win for us!

 

It's clear that this team isn't going anywhere this year, so why not start Zach and see if we can speed up his development?

 

I expect changes are around the corner so we'll see a different set of rotations than we've been watching....I'm just glad to see Zach get time against vets night in and night out now...

 

This team is just good enough to be cannon fodder for the Warriors, Rockets or Spurs in the 1st round of the Playoffs. Not fun.

 

It was hyperbole saying plays were being ran for Aminu, I'm just emotional over that finish ... either way, as you pointed out, Aminu was the one being left open to shoot due to Stotts not adjusting.

Why not bring back Ed Davis who was FEASTING off of put-backs and dribble drives?

Or go small and bring in another shooter to replace Aminu? Nurk could slide over to Jokic and anyone could have really defended Plumlee.

 

I think the point is to get our keepers experience even if it means being cannon fodder....Zach needs to play against Draymond Green and Lamarcus Aldridge...development season...finding out who the keepers are by trial and error.

 

He wasn't even a starter in college, was he? He seems to be fine learning the game incrementally. No reason to allow him to develop some bad habits. We are Just going to have to deal with this as a lost season. Well it's a year off of Turner and Leonard's contracts. That's something.

 

Stotts owned the bad timeout call....I think Stotts will take this loss on himself

 

I think Paul Allen is mad

 

I agree with that. Since we will be cannon fodder anyhow, develop guys like Collins.

 

One might use the term purgatory to describe them. And that person would probably get ridiculed by the majority of the forum....we'll call them lemmings, for argument sake

 

Whether he takes it or not, that’s multiple games his poor decision making has cost us late. He has to go.

 

The problem is, this is not the exception, it's the rule.

 

As well he should be. Nurkic blew the game and he probably knows it.

 

The guy with 19 and 12 blew it? Pray tell, how?
