Game Thread 2023-24 GAME #49 - BLAZERS @ NUGGETS - FEBRUARY 2, 2024 - FRIDAY - 6:00 PM PST - ROOT

He hurt his finger with all the hand checking he was getting away on Ant on that possession.

 

Funny thing is, I decided to check Lee's FT % in college. His best year was .793. First three years closer to .700. I guess he must have been clutch late in games and that's what I remember......

 

dumbass YouTubers post 'Scoot's a bust' every other week. They won't be getting too many clicks from here on out.

 

This is so on brand with your avatar. Let the manufactured outrage out. Let it all out. You're right, no injuries have ever happened in the last 35 seconds of a game. You should just let your starters continue playing with the game out of reach. You know better.

 

i saw that play... did he fly into the front row on Ant's shot attempt? Sneaky Nuggets fans may have mauled KCP in the aftermath.

 

Hopefully he doesn't end up drinking like a fish.

 

Nobody plays that hard in the last 35 seconds of a game that is out of reach. If you knew anything about the NBA, you would know that. And please name one serious injury that’s ever happened in the last 35 seconds of garbage time.

 

Ayton only got 5 shots in tonight's offense. He scored on an O-board for a bucket.
I wonder how Deandre feels about being iced out & used as a decoy? I guess his max salary tells him to be cool with his new coach & teammates?

 

Derrick Rose tore his ACL with 80 seconds left in a game they were trailing by 12.

 

Derrick Rose tore his ACL on a non-contact play at the end of a playoff game in 2012 with 1:30 remaining in the game when the Bulls were up by 12 points. By all means, Thibs should have taken him out of the game. I think that’s close enough.

 

Jalen Brunson had a pretty bad injury a couple months ago with 20 seconds left in garbage time. These things happen.

 

With a minute and twenty seconds left you’ve still got a chance to win. With 35 seconds you don’t. Tonight it was garbage time, in that Chicago game it was not.

 

Blazers Remix got to show their full court press! It didn't work, and they gave up a 3. Then Toumani had a grunty drive and shanked a 12 foot flipper. Followed by Denver dribbling the clock out. It sets the stage for next game... just in case the Blazers can't hang in there by 10 on Sunday.

 

Guys play much harder in playoff games. This was not a playoff game—and there was no chance to win with only 35 seconds left.

 

Good game overall.

and @Haakzilla docNOT lock that thread up. Make that OP eat crow!!!

 

Omg. Some people will just find anything to bitch at…..


My lord this place can just be sooo negative sometimes
What is wrong with some of you???

 

It was a non-contact play. It was the end of the game. Philly had already thrown in the towel by putting in their bench.

 

illegal drinking was a lot of fun in my day

 

And that's reason you leave the players in? When the game is out of reach? Huh?
