    If I'm relying on Aminu to hit wide-open '3's to help take the pressure off Dame, we might be in trouble.

    I notice the Stotts is always on the sidelines telling them to push the ball. But the Blazers are literally one of the worst teams in the league at pushing pace. What is he teaching these guys? Surely driving into 3 defenders is not the correct play even if you are technically "pushing the pace".

    It is all coaching people. Team has plenty of talent. Coaching is just pathetic.

    Nurk made that an easy call...just bowled into him whether Millsap flopped or not.

    I still like that offensive foul better than an Aminu prayer 3.

    Another horribly timed Time-out. Shocker.

    I don't understand? Good things come when they run the Dame Nurk pick and roll but they only run it once every 3 possessions? Am I missing something here? Surely it's better than this weave crap that just wastes the shot clock.

    Nuggets paying tribute to "the best fans in the NBA" while also acknowledging they only sold out 14 of their 41 home games this season...

    These refs are god awful, its why this game looks so out of control on both ends. Both teams should be LIVID with the refs.

    I don't really want to trade him, but can't continue to let them double Lillard on the pick and roll. While completely ignoring Aminu.
    Reminds me of when Kobe completely ignored Barton a couple years ago.
