Ball donβt lie
Neither the Blazers nor the Bulls can hit a 3, but neither can miss a 2β¦definitely shaping up to be a 2nd half where if a team can get hot from 3, they can completely take control of this game.
The ball appears to be covered in greaseβ¦but only when the Blazers have it.
Trail Blazers announce that Shaedon Sharpe has had follow up imaging on his left leg and it has revealed a stress reaction in his left fibula.
Heβll be re-evaluated in 4-6 weeks.
Jrue-Tou-Sidy-Kris-Robβ¦thatβs a really fun defensive group that can swap across 1-thru-5.
Nuggets said:
EVERYTHING the Nuggets are throwing up is going in this is wild
Avdija with 6p/6r/9a and 9 so far but the Nuggets just aren't missing - Portland isn't able to cut into this lead at all.
Jokic is on fire - he's just throwing it at the rim and it's going in....and he misses on the layup as I type that. He's got 19 points in less than 10 minutes of action.
Jokic is gonna have one of THOSE nights - yikes
Offenses are offensing pretty hard here between the Blazers & Nuggets - no all-star break rust for Portland and Denver isn't missing (9/12 from the field and 4/5 from 3).
Damian Lillard being honored before tonightβs game vs the Nuggets for his 3rd 3-point contest title at all star weekend.
βThe next 10 games weβll have to see who works with who and see how that turns out.β - Splitter on integrating Murray and Thybulle and their defensive lineups
Kris Murray and Matisse Thybulle are both going to play tonight - Coach Splitter
We are here in the cycle apparentlyβ¦
Jrue, you cannot smoke the layup on a pass that saucy. Thatβs straight to basketball jail - at minimum, you gotta pick up the dinner tab.
Thatβs a ridiculously soft double tech on Williams. Running a guy for that is WILD behavior.
Scoot with 4 wings has me intrigued
Gobert is altering A LOT of shots at the rim but the Blazers are also throwing absolute trash at the rim too.
Toumani Camara is a +35 in 26 mins tonight.
The playmaking boost the Blazers get from Scoot... it's just found money.
Avidja with 12/6/3 in 7 min in the 3rd quarter, and the Blazers have a 30-11 quarter going vs the 76ers and a 20-point lead.
Camara for 3 and it's a new career high - 26 points. He's 8/9 from 3... he's absolutely lights out!
Toumani Camara is on fire tonight - he's got 23 points on 8/9 shooting (7/8 from 3) - his career high is 25. He's doing that while making Maxey work for everything he's getting.
Avdija with a quick 10 points in the 2nd half in 3 mins of play.
Tiago Splitter challenging that out of bounds call out of spite - didn't wait for the bench, just looked up and said "absolutely not, I'm challenging that" and twirled the finger.
Trendon Watford's floater game is still immaculate.
Maxey is so unbelievably fast with the ball in his hands. He's taken the mantle from Fox for fastest in the league. Just an absolute blur. What's crazy is he's that fast but he can change speeds while manipulating his body through traffic. Just insane body/speed control.
Maxey went into the stands on that last finish and looked like he hit his hand on the camera. He's holding his hand going to the timeout.
