Iggy and Faried won that in the 4th. Great defense.

Why can't we play a nine man rotation on the 2nd of a B2B?

Didn't get to watch other than the last two minutes. How was Iguodala's D on Harden?

Flustered him most of the night, blocked a shot of his towards the end. Harden isn't used to drawing the defense's attention on. It'll take him some time to adjust to that.

It looks like Farried is finally getting back to form. He seemed to have alot lower energy levels in the preseason and the first few games than he did last year or in the last two nights. Joey Crawford seemed to try to screw him over a bit on bad calls but he was able to work around it.

Iguodala's D really is impressive at times. His late block on Harden was huge. I've also been impressed with his play making skills on offense but I feel like the team still has to learn to play better with him as people seem regularly surprised by his clever passes. This should improve a bit over time and we should see him helping create more made shots.

The last 2 nights have looked much better than the first three games. Hopefully the team can keep the momentum up.

feels like they're regaining some of the identity they had last year.

3rd quarter reverted back to being out-of-sync and sloppy like the first 2+ games and preseason, but other than that...lots of good signs.

Haven't seen third Q. I was kind of surprised Galo ended up with 6-15 shooting. It's seemed like his shot was falling.

Things I liked:

1. Iguodala's defense on Harden. Great. Just GREAT.
2. JaVale in first half.
3. Ty Lawson until last minutes.

Things I disliked

1. Ty Lawson's last minutes. 4 missed free throws and terrible pass.
2. TO's in first Q. Painfull to watch.

Ok, I also enjoyed Faried's dunks (not his missed lay-ups) and officiating allowing hard game. Joey is... Well Joey. Tossing T's, shouting "One more word!!!" to players, missed calls... But on both sides.

Thumbs up to Houston's TV crew. They were pretty objective. Still sicked of bulls*its I've heard watching Miami game. And it reminds me (no homo)- At our game against Detroit, LaPhonso looks damn good.

And if mr. Ujiri would reading this... Man, you need to check on this guy. Marcus Morris! He is someone you could love to bring to Denver. Last year played 17 games, shot 2-17 on threes. This season 4 games and 3-15 on threes. Definitively Nuggets material...
