Reggie's been embarrassingly bad tonight. He hasn't been a threat offensively, and defensively he's getting targeted.

He will be aggressive in the second half. He better be

I think so too, seems lie he saves the scoring aggression part for the 2nd half

But especially with no Nurkic either, idk what he is doing

Suns are smart to double though since no Murray

Denver looks like a solid team w/o Murray, pretty bad when Jokic sits. But nothing special

But when Jamal plays they are the #1 or at worst #2 team in the league and look incredibly hard to defend

jokeboy86 wrote:Interesting how the Suns are defending Jokic tonight. Basically doubling him any chance they get, not letting him get any free looks and forcing the rest of the Nuggets to beat them tonight even if Jokic is getting them good looks. You think they would want to force him to be a scorer this game but maybe no Nurkic plays into that.


This works because Murray's out. Reggie Jackson is not the same threat as a shooter or playmaker. This makes their two-man obsolete.

Yeah.

I have no idea if this March stretch is who he really is, but if it is, then I'm maxing him happily.


Green was either the #2 or #1 prospect in his high school class but when he didn't go to college for a year I was worried about how his development would go and then it didn't help he went to a Rockets organization that seemed rudderless post-Morey/Harden. But the best thing the Rockets did was hire Udoka who once again proves that he's a leader and guys will follow him. Even when Green was struggling Udoka didn't lose faith in him and Green's confidence didn't waiver either.

Okay, so this is one of those games. Jokic just **** around. Team just playing in half speed. Like they don't even care. If I was a Nuggets fan, I would just go home.

I don't know who's going to win, but I've watched enough Nuggets games to correct you:

Oh looks joker scoring and the gap closes a lot. It’s like I know how superstars need to score to win these types of games.
