Game 4: Denver Nuggets (3-0) @ Indiana Pacers (0-2)

[KAVK]

In Control. Karl should put Ty at 4-5 min mark left in the quarter to tune him up. AA rolling.

4-0.

[KAVK]

Good game! Billups burned em from beyond the arc. Those doubters still getting surprised to see us in Power Ranking top 3.

Karl done good job on being careful with the IND. AC being AC & hopefully Ty will get it going against Nets. Expect more bench players on this one.

AA had nice game. Martin gotta do better!

[The Answer_CO]

Solid defense and win. Our rebounding was great.

Next!

[berserker]

Every win without JR is a big win. Can't wait to see when he comes back.

4-0!

Poor shooting night from Melo, nice to see the rest of the team step up and have his back. Chauncey was huge, Afflalo played nice off the bench.

We can only hope AA moves to the starting lineup soon, and have JR coming off the bench.

Bench is fine. It already has enough points/energy.

Put JR in the starting lineup, let AC ride the pine, and beat teams from the START.

[MHZ]

I actually think I prefer JR off the bench. Put Afflalo on the wings to make teams pay for doubling on Melo or Chauncey, then when the starters start to get tired, JR comes in and provides a boost. As long as JR gets starter minutes, I'm cool with him off the bench. I'm not cool with AC starting. Or playing.

[KAVK]

JR at this moment better to be coming off the bench to be core guy for second squad. No doubt he will get starter mins. Karl using AC untill AA get into a groove & show some consistency specially on D. I am sure AA will bring it.

Ty needs PT hope Karl continues to sticking with him as much as he can. I guess Karl is being bit cautious on giving Ty enough mins while JR is out to ensure experiment is safe. We should see plenty of AA Ty deal tomorrow. Can't wait.

[and one]

Not the most fun game to watch but nice win. Good Game for AA. Hitting 'em shots down!

u guys creamed us but thats because idk where we were in the first half, we just didnt show up. But, you guys have been trash talking Jones every since the Pacers have signed him. You said he was overpaid and was lousy. Well right now through 5 games he is averaging 16 pts 5 reb off the bench and is still the same solid defender he was in Denver.

Good for Jones that he has had a very good run of 5 whole games so far this yer. I will say he has seemed to improve on both ends this year, but give it time. I am sure he will show why we all were not sad to see him leave.

[pickaxe]

Yeah and it's not based entirely off of the fact he could score points if presented with the right opportunity, but it didn't quite happen like that in Denver.....so, I mean good for Indiana if he can keep it up, good for Dahntay.

[J Smitty]

If he is playing the same defense he did here, as you suggest, then he is still a pretty terrible player....because his defense was ****. Obviously his scoring is going to go up when given more minutes and more shots. But then again, if Dahntay is one of your top three options, I can guarantee you you're not going to make the playoffs.

A lot of guys can put up decent looking numbers on bad teams.
