Game Thread GAME# 80: NUGGETS @ BLAZERS - APRIL 7, 2019 - SUNDAY, 6:00 PM , NBCSNW

I agree with this.

But both really struggle to have much use or value vs good teams. Hood doesn't make a lot of mistakes, but doesn't stand out IQ wise and doesn't have the size, athleticism or physicality to be a factor vs both big wings or quick guards. He's a guy you're hiding most likely.

And I do think Kanter has done a better better job moving his feet to square / use his chest to contest around the rim. But he still makes plenty of mistakes and struggles changing directions and as an athlete in a back pedal (can't move or jump) which puts a premium on his positioning which can't be trusted. Can't switch with him either.

 

Glad you finally admitted that you want to get rid of Chief for a bench player and a young player. Why was that so hard? You should stick by your opinions instead of changing them after Chief has a good game.

 

Exactly. I post in them at the beginning and maybe at half. Then i check it out and laugh as i read the DOOM and GLOOM when they fall behind 6 points with 3 minutes left.

 

I've been one of the biggest pro-aminu posters on this board for a couple years now.
You will not find a bigger aminu fan than myself on this board(maybe kingspeed?)
In fact if you go back to the last game thread(you know the one you started a ton of drama in)
I was calling for Aminu to get MORE MINUTES. And saying Stotts misused him.
For a couple weeks now I've been posting how well Aminu is playing defensively. How it's been a turnaround from how he started this year.
In fact as soon as I mentioned to @BonesJones how much I've been disappointed in Aminu defensively this year. Aminu started playing really well on that end.
I even said that night and gave credit to Aminu for his defensive turnaround in that game.

But at the end of the day I said nothing about Aminu. I was only talking about Hood.
You decided to quote me and tell me Aminu > Hood.
You need to learn how to separate emotions from your posts on here.

Unless you're just trolling, then you do you.
Which is generally what I think you're doing as you don't realize the nba season started in 2018 and will finish in 2019.

 

I almost stuck up for this guy earlier today, but now see he is just trying to be annoying.

 

But GREEN is what we all want!

 

Well I'll take the end result, because I was on the verge of spinning off into an extreme level of pissed off when we fell behind by 7 late.

 

And a bad game will happen. Eventually it happens. Less this year but it's going to happen.

 

“You need to learn how to separate emotions from your posts on here.”

That’s weird cuz you just got mad at my incredibly benign “cheif> hood” comment

 

Making assumptions/Putting your own emotions on other posters will not serve you well in an online setting.
Nor will it serve you well in real life either.

 

Ha Ha Ha.
This is funny stuff. You are literally sitting there pulling the chain over and over again.
It's like you are on a mission.

 

Bones: “CHEIF’S OFF-BALL DEFENSE HAS SUCKED ALL YEAR WE NEED TO LET HIM GO KEEPING HIM OVER HOOD/PRINCE WOULD BE SILLY!”

Me: “I disagree.”

(After game)

Bones: “Like I said, aminu does it again!”

Me: “you were just saying we gotta let him go...”

You: “oh man now you’re trying to be annoying!”


Didn’t realize pointing out blatantly contradictory comments is “trying to be annoying” I’d just call it a simple correction.

 

The guys on Blazers Outsiders are saying Mike Malone tanked this game.

 

Well at the end of the day it was an ugly win, but it was a win. Hope they take care of LA on Tuesday. Just need one of the final two for HCA.

 

I got the feeling this game was a very easy game to underestimate. The Nuggets did not need this game. They were playing their middle portion of the roster and by the way they are pretty deep. They have some good players on that bench. Those players seemed to be very relaxed and had little stress. It showed in the last 5 mins when they had a chance to win. Their shots tightened up and they started pressing on the offensive end.
The Blazers were in a different position all game and responded well. They needed that game and they had to get some shots to fall. Dame stepped up and of course Aminu played very well.
Glad they put together a win. It would have been very easy to lose that kind of game on a night like that.

 

You sound obsessed with me. Weird.

 

Like a younger brother who has a crush on your girlfriend.
Nah mean?

 

All wins are good even the ugly ones.

 

Maybe bc you’ve been begging to have me banned after being passive aggressive and trolling for the past two days straight

“Obsessed”

Lol I pointed out that you contradicted yourself and you got mad And argued for 20 comments before finally admitting I was right. Not my fault.
