The best bet might be to try to get Houston in the first round. That would be the easiest matchup and give the team the best chance to get into round 2 with some rest.
I'm five minutes in and already realize that you guys need an editor. It's irony that you mention Braun meanders.
Having a healthy, in-rythm Pwat in the starting lineup ovet CB will fix a lot of our crunch time issues
I dont think some fans understand how detrimental it is to have a player on the floor who the defense has 0 FEAR of doing anything. CB can't shoot, cant create off the dribble and is too small to be in the dunker like AG.
You wonder why guys like Shai and Luka are able to hit big shots late in games? It's because they have a ton of energy because they dont feel CB AT ALL as a defender and are able to score without breaking a sweat. Then on defense, those guys literally rest by guarding CB and basically playing free safety to guard the 2 man game because they know CB wont punish them if he gets the ball
Pwat is a way better on ball defender, 3 point shooter and shot creator. If SGA and Luka try preserving themsleves on Pwat, he will punish them.
The "this is just an episode of Freakonomics at this point," is a good way of putting it.
Adam didn't mention it when he showed graphs of the Nuggets' schedule, but they also have more back to backs on the road than any team this season
How about win a couple games in a row. They haven’t won 3 or more consecutive games since January. There’s zero reason for this team to lose any of their next 9 games. If they can’t win at least 7 against the teams they’re playing then nobody should take this team seriously going into the playoffs. The time to snap your fingers and get it together is now. Everyone has been kicking the can down the road and saying they’ll turn it on by the end of the season. Well, it’s the end of the season now. Or do they need more time to get it together? Which delusional excuse based on hopes and wishes while ignoring the facts right in front of our faces are we rolling with today?
I feel like im the only one that thinks they will be fine
I don’t think they should go for the 3 or 4 seed. They should rest. Get the 6. And stay out of OKCs bracket
A small ball lineup with Tyus/Pickit, Tim, Pwat, Cam, and Spencer would be nice for 4-5 minutes.
I've been saying this for well over a month. Nuggets aren't much worried about the regular season.
This team still needs weird herbs
I want that 6th seed
braun can’t shoot can he at least be aggressive on defense if he’s not that no point of him being on the court
I wish I could be as optimistic as D-Line. I feel like we are watching 2 different teams.
That Lakers game is going to go down in the memory banks like that game 7 against Minnesota or the Spurs debacle
Pwat knows his contract is up
5
If judge basketball team by 10 minutes stretches, than LAK, PHX, LAC, GSW, HOU, MIN, CHA, PHI, ATL, MIA, TOR, ORL, CAV, NYK are all championship teams, basically when you have basic basketball skills and you hit your shots and opponent misses their shots, you are a contender based on that?…that's why we play 4 quarters that's why we play 82+16, that's why every series is bo7, basketball is not 10 minute game.
ATL won, what is up?
We don't speak honestly about the schedule enough
It is the biggest reason they have underperformed and with a normal schedule they absolutely have less injuries, more wins
