The Hawks had no business losing this game.
The odd part to me was the Hawks played ok in the second half. Certainly well enough to protect a 19 point lead. Denver just played with lights out efficiency.
Can we talk about defense from the blue arrow last night. He went on lock down mode down the stretch and that is a piece of his game that has not historically been that good. His obvious offensive chops + this new D take him to another level.
Wow…first of all Joker had 40 (not 39) but we've already gotten used to something being stolen from Jokic every week, month, season… Next – our EXPERT Swypa opens with talks about "trying to build a team…" without mentioning a single word about the Nuggets playing without the 3rd and 4th best players on the team in Aaron Gordon and Christian Brown!? This team with AG and CB, and without them – they are 2 completely different teams. Denver has improved the bench, but not to the point that someone can completely replace the two of them, especially in the offensive sense (Spencer and Watson play good defense but give you 15 points combined on average – AG and CB even when they have a bad night combined for at least 30, and the defense is much better). Cam is still in a process of finding his rhythm, and we're just happy to have THJ and Bruce to come and help Joker and Jamal. p.s. I think Swipa is a Lakers fan living in Denver. Sorry bro, but when you ignore AG and CB you're not a Nugget!
