The blazers usually look really good their 1st game, but this is just slop. Not getting good looks.

Denver is really screwed in this game Jokic with 3 fouls already.

Isn't that called "over the back"? I didn't know it was a foul to go up for a rebound and have someone jump into your back. I know I"m not an nba ref or anything...

Jokic with 3 fouls.

Great "D" by Whiteside. :nod:

[quote="Matt800"]whiteside dominating so far

yep, our inside D with Zach and HW looked really good in that stretch

I like to see Damian drive and dish rather than forcing it.

looks like blazers are enjoying having a healthy center who can play defense as well as rebound and score. It has been a little while.

Despite some rough turnovers on Whiteside with Lillard trying to feed him the ball Blazers looking quite good so far. Even with a team that has a lot of new pieces it is trying to integrate into the lineup.

Shem · Post #30 » by **Shem** » Thu Oct 24, 2019 2:34 am

7 rebounds for Whiteside so far.

They looked excited/nervous to start. Whiteside looks good.

They are calling this game very tight feels like anything is a foul right now.

Matt800 · Post #33 » by **Matt800** » Thu Oct 24, 2019 2:41 am

several soft calls against the blazers in a row. They don't look like a polished team but I'm liking the blazers so far.

Why on earth are we defending the 3 point line so poorly?

monopoman · Post #35 » by **monopoman** » Thu Oct 24, 2019 2:45 am

The entire offense of this Denever team seems to be drive inside and kick out to a shooter.

Things went south as soon as Whiteside went to the bench.

I already hate Bazemore.

We might need to keep either Collins or Whiteside in at all times for interior defense

Yeah I think partly because its a lot of new guys playing at the same time so less continuity. And Bazemore is bricking his freethrow line jumpers.
