A glare at Nuggets' injury list made me feel a bit less pessimistic about an outcome of this game..

What's the over/under for Lillard tonight? Denver is tough defensively at the guard position.

Harris is an excellent defender. Other than him, their on-ball defense is pretty ordinary. Team defense is how to stop Lillard. It's not easy to play team defense against a trio of scorers like Lillard/CJ/Melo. Who are you going to leave open to bring help?

Denver is missing a bunch of players tonight, as well. Maybe this will be a good matchup.

I'm watching the Rockets game waiting for tip off. Harden is an amazing passer.

They are missing Millsap. That guy kills us.

Edit: Although we have Melo now. We have our own big butt baller.

They need to start calling Jokic for that high elbow.

Nuggets defensive rotations are really smart. They are playing Warriors defense. We aren't passing to the open man.

More likely the open man is not making shots. The shot quality seems normal. The conversion of shots is about 20% less than normal. They lost ground in the early 2nd quarter with continual misses of near gimmes. From that they have not recovered.

We would shoot 100% if not for those pesky Nugget defenders. The Nuggets do their job on defense if the shots we take are more difficult than what we could get if we found the weakness in their defense. Blazers shooting versus shot quality isn't the story if we are always shooting into Nuggets fortified defense and are not passing into the weakness in Nuggets defense.
