My sense is that Karl doesn't have a lot of control over Miller, in general. The vet seems to do whatever he wants when he is on the floor.

The Nuggets offensive sets are awful. Ty can't play decent pick and roll basketball, maybe also because there are no decent pick and pop bigs. They should try something with Gallinari, either as the pick or as the driver, at least he could get a decent look every single time.

To properly do a pick and roll you need some outside shooters, and the pg has to be comfortable shooting from the outside when the defense goes under the pick. lawson goes through streaks, Miller is horrible outside, and the Nuggets really only have 2 guys who are good 3 point shooters. AS is the bigs just sag back a little, and the guard goes under the defender, further clogging the lane.

I'm sorry but there was no doubt that was offensive goaltending. Watch replay. Can't speak for last year though.

Ideally, yes. But Parker doesn't have a great jumper, for instance - Ty's is a better shooter. He is just not driving, like the Nashes/Parkers/Pauls of the world do. Denver's outside shooting is not bad, Afflalo/Gallo/Harrington are all very good shooters. Right now their % are low because most of the 3 pointers they take are simply horrible.
