Game Thread Game #61 - BLAZERS VS NUGGETS - FEBRUARY 27, 2022 - SUNDAY - 6:00 PM (PDT) ROOT SPORTS

What Jokic has done without Murray and Porter is incredible. ~26/14/8 on 57% FG shooting and 37% from '3' without two of his main weapons when the game plan is specifically for him ever night.

 

I know Porter is out for the season; but I thought Murray would be back by now or close to it. I wonder if he's out for the season as well. It's been nearly 11 months.

and yeah, Jokic has been MVP level again.

Denver has a balanced roster. And it helps that both Barton and Gordon are playing at their best levels. Gordon was a very valuable addition for them. Much better for them than Powell was for Portland. Morris has played well as a starter too. And of course, Jeff Green has come in, become a starter after Porter's injury, and been solid...like he has for the last 7 seasons playing on 9 different teams. He had played for a minimum contract for 5 straight years until Denver signed him for a 2-year/9M deal last summer. Bryn Forbes was a good addition before the trade deadline as well. Good at stetching the floor allowing Jokic room to operate

 

Don’t care what happens as long as guys like Keon and Brown get heavy minutes. Hughes needs an increase as well, need to evaluate him properly.

 

I tell you what….. ever since this new guy took over making the game threads, our winning percentage is absolute shit!

 

All true....likely because Jokic is making them better. Whomever he plays with, seems to do well. Great for him. That is what an MVP is.

 

I’m just watching it because of Ant. I want him to win MIP

 

Small request that doesn’t need to be listened to

Include the jerseys the teams will be wearing. Can find them on lockervision

 

So wait?
The Warriors followed by the Nuggets followed by the Suns?
I thought this was the easy part of the schedule?

 

Keon 15 points tonight, book it.

 

This next nine games is the easy part of the schedule to tank but just look at the following eleven... those teams are going to be hard to lose to.

 

I know! But look on the bright side, it would likely be much worse if you were making them.

 

Now Winslow is OUT. The Tank continues

 

Winslow is out with Achilles soreness aka Greg Brown needs 35 minutes and we need an L lol.

 

LOL.

 

So after the all star break, all of a sudden Nurk and Winslow are hurt? Good job Blazers and Tank you very much!

 

pretty sure this one is in the bag for Morant. He deserves it too

 

Damn!
