Game Thread PRESEASON GAME# 3: BLAZERS @ NUGGETS - DECEMBER 16, 2020 - WEDNESDAY, 6:00, NBCSNW

Another wide open corner three

 

Yeah we figured that would be the response.

 

I respect your opinion. I was trying to gauge how much you value the national coverage on other topics, sorry if you didn't feel it was on topic. To be on topic. We were T-8th in the West, "won the off-season", and should be better this year. I agree with all that.

I've said I think Stotts is an average to slightly above average coach many times, I've never said he was a great.

I know you love the roster and think guys who were unplayable in the playoffs last year should be major contributors on our title run, but I don't think that's realistic. It's just a difference of opinion, I don't take it personal.

 

By the way our top 10 offense every year is predicated on Dame being a one man offense. We have so much offensive talent on this team I feel like we don’t need that this year. But it looks like just a jumbled mess right now.

 

the backspin on that campazzo pass was insane

 

Third game this year with two new starters and only the second game for Nurk.
I’m still gonna hold judgement but this was not a good look. Plenty of issues to work on. Glad they got schooled a bit so they can know what to expect.
Yep I’m trying to pull up the positive.

 

Well, let's be fair, he started by posting a very small part of my post and took what appeared to be a shot at it. The rest of my post made his reply moot, but that didn't stop him because he had a narrative. The heck with the context.

Kind of like what you did a few days ago. You made a snarky comment, you didn't like that I responded to it in a way that made you the king of message-board basketball, so it became you just going back and forth so you could regain your mojo.

 

Preseason or not..this effort was pathetic

 

Every single Elleby three I’ve seen him take is way off.

 

Certainly a 1-4 game data set would be difficult to draw meaningful conclusions on.

Serious question: If you feel strongly about the conclusion you've made over the last 2-3 games, do you think that it means we're not a playoff team? Not a top 6 team in the West? What did you think going into the preseason?

I said this was a 42-43 win team (above the vegas line) which is likely to put us 5th-7th. I have seen nothing in the preseason to make me feel much differently.

 

Preseason. That was vomit inducing though.

 

Outrebound 55-33!

 

Everybody played like shit. Including Dame.

 

I didn't mean to offend by not replying to your entire post, I just thought that part in particular was note-worthy.
