    he would have also given up 15 points to jokic in the last 5 mins. his inability to even fake like he's gonna closeout is brutal.

    dude come on.
    If you can’t see this team isn’t going anywhere then I don’t know.

    I love your diehard enthusiasm

    unfortunately it’s more likely they sweep us this weekend rather than the Blazers winning both. So what does a split do for us? It sets things up for the third Grizzlies matchup in a couple weeks on their court!

    we could find ourselves out of the playoffs all together

    Nurk couldn't defend against jokic to save his life

    This is a poorly coached team.
    People out of position
    Don’t know defensive assignments
    Don’t make adjustments on either side of the ball
    Take SO MANY bad shots throughout the game

    SO. MANY.BAD.SHOTS.

    Chris, my man, the Blazers got up 77-67. Nurk subbed out. The Nuggets scored 8 points at the rim in Kanter's face on the next three possessions, forcing Stotts to put Nurk back in with less than two minutes of rest. They were HUNTING Kanter.

    Nurk and CJ with Stotts are untouchables since they are Dame’s friends. Just look at Blevins

    i want stotts gone yesterday, but this was one of idiot terry's better coached games. even scouted some of their plays which he never does. the bar ain't high, but my coaching complaints are minimal tonight

    Release Melo, Kanter/DJJ will leave via FA, TRADE CJ, Fire Stotts

    The future...

    Dame/Simons
    Powell
    Nas/CJ Trade
    RoCo
    Zach/Nurk

    IF Zach can stay healthy I’d consider trading Nurk. A starting lineup of Dame/Powell/Nas/RoCo/Zach would be the best defensive team we have had in a decade, with the right coach.

    They scouted some of their players? Please explain

    no, because they have a coach and we don’t! It’s how we play - offense = high screen & roll OR iso ball...defense = Oh, we don’t play defense.

    We don’t have a great GM, seriously...we don’t have a great coach and finally, our staring forwards and center are not great. Our bench is not great.

    you win titles playing GREAT!

    a missed floater is not remotely the problem

    There is no comparison. No comparison. Curry is a GOAT, maybe the GSOAT, with multiple rings, MVP etc. Dame has none of those and never will.

    How much did we miss DJJ tonight? Even in a loss, it didn't seem like it made that big of a difference.

    what don’t you like about Kanter? This guy is fantastic and he’s not sucking up cap space. Dame, Ant, Nassir, Zach and probably Powell - the rest can go.

    Kanter was +0. Nurk was -4. If you’re wondering, Melo was +2. I bet we win if Kanter and Melo are in at the end.
