Nuggets @ Kings

[eathb_au]

It's amazing how easy it is to score when you have a guy that can create his own shot off the dribble and shoot when the opposition is to packing the paint (Hamilton).

JHam was cooking in the 2nd qtr, scored on a variety of moves, both inside/outside, but I was surprised he couldn't score anymore though after that against a 3rd string Kings bench.

If/when Brewer gets traded, JHam will have 20-24 minutes to play, until Wilson Chandler is healthy. I agree that JHam has a scorers first mentality, but he needs to do other things as well to really get on GKs good side.

Screw karl's good side, Hamilton is a solid rebounder and decent passer, but at the end of the day the Nuggets need a true scorer that can shoot off the bench, if Karl refuses to play Hamilton eventually the team will pay for it, and Karl is the one to blame.

As for the game the team looked good, I do not know why so many games they get away from the tough defense and running, it is the only way the offense really works. They need to do it more often.

the more I watch of the Nuggets the more impressed I am with koufos, he almost always seems to make the right play, and he makes the game harder for the opposing teams best big, which is all you can ask from your 5th starter.

Although watching the game I was watching Cousins somewhat, as I have always felt he could become the next great center in the league. Most of the first 10 or 15 possessions for the kings it seemed as if he was standing on the perimeter, all I can say is what a waste, the guy has the talent to be a very good if not great center, yet they have him standing on the 3 point line.

Dont get me wrong, I agree with you that JHam is a solid rebounder, decent passer and a true scorer, but if you haven't noticed, GK has his favourites (Miller, Brewer, McGee) and until JHam shows consistency across the board, he wont get that 20-25 minute opportunity. When Wilson returns, what happens then? Its gonna take a trade for JHam to get decent playing time, or he gets traded to another team who will play him.

JHam was good that outside shot was falling. Even Anthony Randolph looked good tonight... *shrug*

Most of all I liked that everyone played hard and they did not let up in the second half.

That was fun. Gonna watch second Q tommorow again. All those dunks... Everyone on the roster scored. Nice.
