sorry for the constant in and out blurring of my face. the camera' s autocorrect was focused on my monitor more
I miss Wes Unseld Jr and Jordi Fernandez, the defense has declined since they left the team
The defense can pass here and there, what annoys me in particular is the greed of some players, specifically Bones and Murray, shooting for three points when it is least needed, killing the momentum to sometimes think that Barton moments are still present, I am glad that he was finally punished tonight and did not come back from the bench.
we can’t be playing at this level for the whole season otherwise we’re out 1st round and wasting jokic and murray’s prime years
This is gonna be spicy after seeing you get mad on twitter
We were up 14 btw.
Well, can’t say I don’t get where u are coming from … we have issue with the bench and even minutes where starters play and Jok is denied the ball as no one can take the initial advantage Jok makes and turn it into the bucket. That being said, you can simply assign this to Alvarado getting redhot and Jamal and Kcp cold. Our defense was not the best but they did a good enough job on Zion( main scoring risk) and did closed well manny times on Alvarado… sheet man, there is no wining when gard is not missing from 3…. Malone fucked it up not bringing bones back to try to offset some of the shooting Alvarado did but hope bones also looks at a mirror and try’s to play defense more aggressively next time…. But you are correct in that next to Jok, we didn’t have a very talented roster( no all stars, all nba, all defense)… we have a lot of potentially great players who are currently playing poorly… also one thing that we should keep in mind is that defense needs time. It ain’t Lego peaces fitting instantly.. remember Celtics last szn were shit 1st half and have played together form years… nuggets coaching has job to do with their bench and defensive rotations…. Also each fucking turnover is a bucket for opponents…. So you ain’t the only one ranting 🙂
I think Davon Reed, Cancar, and Ish should be looked at if they can be traded. MPJ started off strong so currently I still think he can get better but it's hard to believe in him when he shoots inefficiently in some games and that is basically the only thing he does. Bones, Nnaji, and Braun need to step it up, I don't think they are bad, but we need them to be great. All of those three have had games where they played great now, they need to play like that more often (I think Nnaji, and Braun so get some more minutes for experience). Jokic, Gordon, Bruce Brown, KCP, and even DeAndre Jordon (except for against the Celtics) have been pretty consistent, so now we need that form the rest. I think the young players we have are great and next year and onward will be good (until Jokic retires), however if we want a chance this season the young guys need to step up, defense needs to improve and maybe Davon, Cancar, and/or Ish, maybe even Jordan, may need to be traded by the deadline.
nah u right. doesn't matter how generational jokic is, this team isn't winning shit with a bottom 5 defense and bottom 5 bench
Cancar be hustling but I now understand why up until this point he only got garbage time.
This team is just bad its simple as that the only one who is good Jokic and maybe a little bit Gordon but the rest is soooo bad its unbelievable how bad
this loss officially confirmed it for me. the nuggets are just not as good as the timberwolves
