Postgame Open Thread: Nuggets 102, Blazers 111

PrintDespite a bucketful of turnovers, the Portland Trail Blazers successfully reach 3-0, holding off the Denver Nuggets, 111-102. Denver kept it close all night with timely steals (17 in all), but they couldn't put the game away. The Blazers finished on a 13-4 run.
The Blazers looked great in the first quarter, jumping to a double-digit lead. But just as they looked to pull away, Denver, led by Ty Lawson and Andre Miller, and a mountain of steals, slowly crawled back into the game. By halftime, the Blazers had squandered their lead away and the game was tied at 53.
Denver quickly jumped to a four point lead in the third, only for Wesley Matthews to nail four straight three-pointers. Both sides took that cue, and every player catches fire, for a fun stretch of hot shooting from all over the court. Denver kept pace, and the Blazers led by four after three.
The fourth quarter was a back-and-forth struggle between the teams, with the lead rarely reaching 5 points. Despite all of Denver's steals, the play of the game was Wesley Matthews (making up for his own turnover) stealing the ball from Ty Lawson on the break, leading to a Raymond Felton three-pointer for a 7 point lead with under 2 minutes left. After that, it was all over but the streamers.
All the starters contributed to the win. Matthews scored 25, Felton with 23 and 5 assists, and while Marcus Camby finished with 2 points, he added a big 12 boards and plenty of defense inside. Two days after a big game, Crash Wallace and LaMarcus Aldridge had quiet nights, scoring 13 apiece.
Andre Miller returned to Portland to a nice Rose Garden ovation, scoring 13 points with 8 assists. Rudy Fernandez had a much cooler welcome from the crowd, struggling to finish with 7 points.
We'll have more shortly, stay tuned for Dave's recap and Ben's media row report. Enjoy a few days off, next game is New Year's Day against the Clippers. -- Tim

Good to know we have closers
although I am disappoint in Aldridge. i was hopinghe would start showing his clutchness
WITH ODEN ON OUR SIDE
This was a guard game from beginning to end
Neither team’s bigs did much

by dyshooter182 on Dec 29, 2011 9:30 PM PST up reply actions
they did swarm aldridge pretty good
I guess he did good enough but he coulda had better shots too if he wanted on a couple late
WITH ODEN ON OUR SIDE
Agree and he didnt score as much as I hoped
but he was double teamed and was tied for most assists with 6 so atleast he was passing out of it pretty good. Im stoked we dont need LMA to get off to win a game, we have a good cast of characters here and on any given night someone will inevitably come through for us.
by cavejunctionblazer on Dec 29, 2011 9:36 PM PST up reply actions
such a good point. Once again the 5th quarter guy on the radio is BAGGING on LaMarcus.
“He needs to get 10-12 assists”. Well idiot..he was able to get 6 assists..passing out of the double teams. And with Matthews or whomever able to hit the 3s..maybe he won’t be double teamed as much in the future.
Man I am so sick of people who immediately get down on someone who has barely played. Nene didn’t do much tonight either.
He did tie for most assists too. So it’s not like anyone did better on the team tonight.

totally
LMA did what he could with what they threw at him. 6 ast not bad at all! Heck a few more Rebs and he woulda been scraping the bottom of a triple double!

I am disappoint with LMA also :-(
LET THE LAMONSTER ERA BEGIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ridiculous.
Denver game-planned hardcore for Aldridge, and Aldridge responded beautifully by making quick, smart passes out of the double-teams they threw at him.
Most of those threes were either directly assisted or de facto assisted by Aldridge while passing out of the double. I would consider this to be one of his best games.

Great point!
LMA didn’t force it in against Denver’s beef. He found open teammates, leading to open shots. I like a smart and heady (but not overthinking) L-Train.

L Train is the best. And those who don't know it just show their ignorance of the game IMO.
Just my opinion.
We won so everybody, haters and kool-aid drinkers alike, is happy.
But I don’t think it’s ignorant to think that our teams #1 scoring option ought to be able to score even when the opposing team game plans around stopping him. I still love LaMarcus, but not his best game. Glad it didn’t cost us.

hmm.. Fail
You will have a hard time even on here making the case that LMA is the best. He is not.
Ignorance is being shown….. and it’s you
Yes..... But
Great game for a good player but a poor game for an elite player.
If LMA wants to be a top 10 player in this league he has to dominate in spite of teams game planing for him. Dirk, LBJ, Durrant etc do it every night and every team is gunning for them. I’m looking for LMA to get those 6 assists and drop 24-28pts.
Don’t get me wrong I’m happy with how the team is playing but we could be in trouble come playoff time without a player that can dominate a defense that is gunning for him.
OK
Now name a low post player that can dominate no matter what.

Tim Duncan might be the most underrated player of the last 10 years
He’s been amazing. He’s pretty much the exception to every rule.
But seriously, unless he deserves it, he really needs to stop going to the All Star Game.
isn't he universally considered the best PF to ever play the game?
I’m not sure he’s that underrated.

Universally? Nahhh.
I’m not sure there’s a universal opinion there. Karl Malone, Kevin Garnett, Charles Barkley all come into play. Heck, McHale is in there, and Nowitzki’s stock rose a lot last season. That’s not even getting into the old guys, like Pettit.

His championships put him far above any of those guys in my mind. I thought that was pretty well accepted. Where is AK to back me up when I need him? :)

hard to give that title to a Center
I know the Spurs called him a PF all those years so he could start the all star game alongside Shaq, but dude is a classic center and always has been.
that said, he had NO business in the ASG last year – stole LA’s spot.

Howard?
Not no matter what, but seemingly
It takes a big man to admit when he's wrong. I am NOT a big man.
Offensively, he's not what I would call dominant
and seems to be shut down in big games more often than not.

Situational here
Nene did worse if you look at passing and Denver has a crazy amount of front court depth. That’s a good, solid game from LMA. Not a line that gets attention but we should be able to appreciate it in PDX.
it is the 3rd game of the season.
LMA didn’t participate in the training camp and played ONE PRESEASON GAME.
Think of this as the 6th pre-season game.
Big men take time to get their legs under them. ESPECIALLY when they have had freaking SVT due to WPW syndrome over the summer.
Not to make excuses for LMA but these are the facts.
These are the facts but are also excuses.
I realize that LMA has a heart condition but that was diagnosed (he had it before but thought it was fixed) a few weeks ago. It’s not like he missed an extended amount of time.
Howard went for 24 rebounds to night. Love went for 30 and 20 last night. Don’t give me that excuse about bigs need time to get their legs under them.
Again I’m not saying he’s doing poorly. I’m saying if he wants to be up there with the elite guys he has to do better.
Did Love play any defense on the perimeter after a switch in his game?
Did he play any defense at all?
Aldridge has a different set of objectives than Love.

Nothing LMA does is a piece of cake for me.
I’m saying I am not seeing a top 10 player in this league here. I am hoping that LMA becomes that. But he is not showing it yet.
LMA will do just fine this year
Guy was dropping 40+ on the Bulls and Spurs last season. I can agree that he’s not top 10 yet. He has plenty of time though.
Should also note that his stat line isn’t giving him full credit for his affect on the game. I’d also argue that we’re seeing the stat line of a guy that just wants to win and doesn’t exactly have his legs under him yet.
Nene is supposed to be “better” and yet he didn’t exactly light it up even with a long line of competent big men to back him up. Nuggs were out rebounded by 20.
you shouldn't be
6 assists? he got swarmed, and he got the ball to the open man. this was a great, if not sloppy, game. you need your bigs to know when to pass out instead of forcing the shot and lma did it beautifully.

Is that when he got his triple double?
10th board at the buzzer?
It takes a big man to admit when he's wrong. I am NOT a big man.
no, he actually didn't get a triple double when he had the 10 steals.
It was a really awful game against Washington in the middle of January or February. Horrible to watch.
He was challenged about his lack of defense in the days prior to the game
And then he just went nuts with the steals afterward.
I wouldn't give him too much credit...
At least two of those where ones where Camby and LMA each made a really sloppy pass at the top of the key. That almost shouldn’t count as a steal if the ball is just bouncing out in the open and you come up and take it.
Lawson was awesome!
Great player! I thought he might do us in.
"Tom Lawson McCall, Governor or Oregon, invites you to visit . . . Washington, Idaho, Nevada, or Afghanistan." --Pair of bumper stickers on our baby blue 1966 Plymouth Fury III when I was growing up in Portland, BC (Before Championship).
Some of it was ridiculously sloppy passing
I credit Denver (Lawson) for capitalizing over and over and over and over and……
the way we move players and the ball around
we will often have a balanced scoring attack. add that we have 5 guys capable of putting up 20 on a given night – 6 if you add Batum, and we’re going to see a lot of shared scoring. That is a good thing

You say that as if its a defined problem.
Turnovers were not an issue in the first two games. Forcing turnovers is as much a part of Karl’s strategy as it is of ours. Let’s demonstrate a pattern before we get too stressed here.

I know Aldridge appeared to be stifled
but we only nailed all those three pointers because of how much Denver kept doubling him. Aldridge has really gotten good at passing out of the double, and we appear to finally have a team capable of taking advantage of those doubles. That felt really, really good.

LMA needs his numbers
But with this up-tempo team it’s harder to get it into the PF in rhythm. Once Felton and co. get into the rhythm, then LMA will start dominating.

also once LMA is feeling truly healthy.
If he had SVT over the summer, his cardio can NOT be what it should be. I know, I’m a Cardiovascular nurse. I take care of patients who have what he has.
I don't remember any reports that he experienced any SVT during offseason.
I thought the point of the ablation was due to an anomaly on the echocardiogram during his pre-camp physical, that it was pre-symptomatic and the procedure was precautionary, wasn’t it?

by conspirator5 on Dec 29, 2011 10:59 PM PST up reply actions
That's also my understanding
He wasn’t having any incidents over the Summer, so the anomaly was a surprise to him too.
Exactly.
If he’s out of shape (which hasn’t seemed to be the problem IMO) it’s not because of the heart procedure.
a couple weeks without practice probably didn't help his chances
of getting a jump on conditioning. It looks like he’s getting tired too easily. We also drastically changed our pace so far this season. Not as easy for a 7 footer to adjust to as it is for a guard.
Glad for a win but
the game left a bad taste in my mouth.
Hopefully my boy LMA can get the post game going though. Still, Denver ran lots of interference at him, which made it easier for our guards to get things going.

The attention the Nuggets gave to LMA...
…was what opened it up for Felton, Crawford and Matthews.
This was not a Big Guy game and I kinda feel bad if a win like this leaves a bad taste in your mouth.

It's just because it was ugly, believe me, I'm the first one to hop on this year's Blazers bandwagon!
"Brandon Roy has done this before."
the win didn't feel ugly at all from someone who was at the RG.
I’ll tell you what I think…#26..the ref..was so busy calling fouls that I’m amazed the Blazers just ignored this and went on to win.
Made me soooo happy that the players didn’t allow the refs to take them out of the game.
One of Batum’s blocked shots was clearly not a foul..one of the out of bounds shots should have been the Blazers’ ball…the guy was a tool.
Hey
Did you notice all the defensive three seconds he forced?
Maybe the Nugget’s entire defensive plan was to make Felton, Crawford and Matthews beat them?

Wins are wins, whenever they happen in the season
I’d rather have some home games now when they’re home and fresh, than tired and in the middle of a huge bunch of games.
Yeah we pay for it at the end.

means more road games late of course. but if the early home games get you off to a good start and build your confidence, that can carry long-term benefits the whole season. momentum!

Its clear that Aldridge will always struggle...
Until he gets to play with another big that poses some sort of offensive threat. He may not get to put up the numbers to get casual fans to pay attention but we know how good he is so who cares?
by Blake1984 on Dec 29, 2011 9:35 PM PST reply actions 1 recs
thats exactly what I'm saying....
Every team will be able to swarm him with all of their bigs until he plays with some other big that they have to guard.
Ummmm... Winning.
The Nuggets had to guard THREE guys who scored 20+ because of the attention paid to LaMarcus.
Great Team Win!
#7... GO BLAZERS!!!
exactly.
This was a great game for Aldridge. Maybe not in the stat box, but he did have six assists and he dictated Denver’s defense every time he touched the ball. The buckets that he did not score ended up as Matthews three pointers. Also, Felton’s ice-out three pointer was an Aldridge assist out of the double.

Look at Nene’s numbers for comparison. Tough game for the big guys.
Posted in wrong thread:
It is amazing they pulled it out. Denver shot 10 more free throws, and we had 25 turnovers to their 7.
It looks like the rebounding and field goal percentage got it done. It is really disappointing to see the turnovers and the unforced errors but their defense down the stretch was fun to watch.
TO turn into extra possesions.
So do rebounds and blocked shots. Leveled the field and we shot better. Still, easier to win if don’t give them those extra possessions.

When's the last time a team won with 25 TOs?
Yikes! lol
when was the last time a team didn't REALLY have 25 turnovers...watch the game again.
really think some of the turnovers should have been fouls called that were not. And some were fouls called against the Blazers that they didn’t commit. And some were out of bounds that were given to the wrong team.
Sloppy passing too
I agree that some of the offensive fouls were definitely a little questionable but I won’t argue the final stats. At least we won lol
Blazers are #1 in the West according ESPN
because of point differential
:)
Being a Blazer fan is not exactly healthy.
Denver has a ton of bigs to throw at LA and just a lot in general...
Mozgov, Nene, Harrington, and Andersen.
Plus, LA doesn’t look to be in peak condition, either. We’ll see LaMonster before too long. Especially if our smalls can hit 3’s consistently.
Oh yeah, I have a lot of respect for this year's Denver team.
They’re as deep as I probably have ever seen a team in some time and can just keep throwing fresh waves at you.
We were lucky to find them on a poor shooting night.

you are right.
About LMA’s cardio conditioning. If he had SVT..The condition that is brought about by WPW…he more than likely suffered some de-conditioning . It will take him awhile to get back into shape cardio wise. In fact, it is amazing he is doing as well as he is..which is a testament to his previous athletic conditioning.

Boston is clearly too old to make a run
And LA has become too thin.
Of the teams you listed, only Miami is anywhere near elite, along with Chicago, and maybe OKC.
Those teams were top-tier maybe 4 seasons ago…
"Brandon Roy has done this before."

Sorry bout that, it just seemed like an egregious error when you included Dallas and Boston
And I didn’t mean Denver was elite. Only that Miami and OKC are the only supposed “elite” teams that look elite right now. POR and ATL have looked good though. We’ll see how they do against better competition.
Phase 1: Collect underpants

Atlanta has always had a knack for looking dominating against the
lower tier but simply faltering against the best of the best. I suspect this will continue.

Yeah, probably
Marvin Williams has had a pair of really good games though. If it’s a sign of a breakout season for Marvin, they could be an ECF threat.
Ok, maybe not…We all know it’s going to be Miami/Chicago. But if Marvin capitalizes on his talent, with the group they have, it could push them to the 3rd seed in the East.
Phase 1: Collect underpants
Phase 2: ???

Just looked.. Marvin Williams is only 25. I thought he was much older.

Why we're number 1 in the conference
From the NBA standings page:
TIEBREAKER BASIS:
(-) Tie breaker not needed (better overall winning percentage)
(1) Division leader wins tie from team not leading a division
(2) Head-to-head won-lost percentage
(3) Division won-lost percentage
(4) Conference won-lost percentage
(5) W-L Percentage vs. Playoff teams, own conference
(6) W-L Percentage vs. Playoff teams, other conference
(7) Net Points, all games
So Portland, New Orleans and OKC are both at 100% so we have to go to tie breakers.
Tie breaker 1. All 3 are leading their division. We’ll say OKC and Portland are since they have 100% wins and are in the same division
Tie breaker 2. Head to head win lost.. We haven’t played each other. So not relevant.
Tie breaker 3. Division won lost percentage. Again all at 100%.
Tie Breaker 4. Conference percentage. Again all at 100%.
Tie Breaker 5. Again all at 100% against play off teams in our own conference
Tie Breaker 6. Again all at 100%
So then it comes down to Net Points and apparently the blazers lead in that.
There’s nothing about number of games played because it’s designed really for end of the season when the number of games played would be even.

My theory is the feed will get a little better once the free trial ends
and all the freeloaders are no longer using bandwidth.

Though they use a peer to peer system to keep bandwidth costs down
Not sure how much of the system relies on that.
I had problems early on and gave up
But the wife was streaming Netflix at the same time, so it may have been a problem here.

same here
wife was on Netflix but we can usually run Netflix on both laptops without issues.
One thing to be aware of is LP's Octoshape plugin
It uses your internet line as a de facto bittorrent, so that Turner’s bandwidth costs are kept down.
I choose not to install it, and the feed still plays. I may install it sometime and watch the bandwidth on the router. the tough part is that it doesn’t uninstall automatically.
I didn't install it either
That’s really interesting though. Thanks for the heads up.
I did install the octoshape plugin
Hmm… I guess I will try to isolate that variable. It seems quite plausible that octoshape could be the issue, since the feed quality was dynamic, and downgraded over time. No one else was using the internet at the time here. Thanks for the feedback!!

My wife's first game was the 2007 Denver game when Brandon blocked Carmelo
Good first game, down to the wire, big plays, Blazers win.
There was a half court buzzer beater (Jack) and 4 point play (James Jones) in that game
I told her she got to see, like, everything in that game.

He's definitely no Terry Porter on the break.
I’m curious if he’ll still improve as a player from this point. People start getting set in their ways soon.
And this is a contract year for him. Not that every player tries harder in a contract year, of course.

the differences I see though are Felton is a legit scoring threat, but doesn't protect the ball very well. For Dre it is the opposite.

live sports is the only reason I didn't turn in my cable box years ago
pretty much all other program can be had online, mostly free. Once i can buy live sports online without blackouts, it’s game over for traditional cable/satellite packaging deals.
TV delivery is going to change drastically over the next decade. the technology and bandwidth are already there, it’s mostly just rules holding things back.
About 20 cable networks are self-supporting and can stand on their own in an ala-carte model. The rest are being subsidized by forced bundling. Once bundling is gone, those others will either die off or have to survive in an online-delivery subscription model. Content will be king.

Yeah something will have to break
Either the amount of available a la carte content drops drastically, or Internet users pay a lot more for what they want, or media companies find they can’t demand as high of pricing. Which can be tough due to production costs.

I’m no hockey fan, but I can appreciate how the Internet hockey community in the last few days rallied around how ESPN’s year end memorials had zero hockey players. It originated from SBNation – proof that a large corporation like ESPN can’t monopolize the fan discussion.
