GS @ Denver 

Post#1 » by CanNugget » Fri Nov 23, 2012 5:20 pm

I suck at making these game threads but it's a little slow in the office today.

My greatest concern is their shooting. If our perimeter D is the way it's been all season, it will be extremely tough to beat them.

If Gallo plays the way he has been lately and Ty doesn't play the way he's been playing, I'll be very happy.
We have to win the few home games we have.

Let's go get 'em

Nice game all around tonight, this was more the team I was hoping to see before the season started. The only complaint I have is what happened to the free throw shooting?

+1

Seeing Ty and Iggy slash in the lane was great. Seeing all the missed free throws isn't so great.

Only saw the highlights because I'm in Kansas City for the weekend (go Broncos) but from what I saw it looked like this might have been our best game thus far this year, especially with Iggy. Hopefully more of this to follow.

I’m just back from Africa (back in Spain, I mean) and this was the first game of this season that I’ve managed to see. I don’t know anything about the problems that the Nuggets must have had so far, therefore, but the team that I’ve seen playing last night has an almost limit-less potential. What did I like most? The attitude of the players; their application on D and the way they share the ball. Difficult to say, in a league dominated by factors that have very little to do with basketball, but players like them, playing in that way, should have a fair chance at winning against any conceivable opponent. What about my boy? I’ve seen him still shooting the ball very uneasily; a certain lack of confidence, probably. I’ve seen that someone asks to trade him (yes, I’m talking about Gallo) ; do it and, no matter how horrible his shooting can be, you are going to make the day of any coach that will see him joining his team. There is an ongoing misunderstanding about him; he has never been a shooter. He was forced to invent himself one by the injury to his back that for more than a few months, at the very beginning of his NBA career, allowed him to do very little else than shooting. Gallo is first and foremost a very good defender (one of the most underrated in the league) and a great scholar of the game; the man that always (well, almost) do the right thing to make the team offence flow as it should. To this add that he has heart and onions and you why he always ends up being popular with coaches, teammates and fans. If in Denver it isn’t so, it ‘d be the first time, but … life and basketball are so complicated….

Well we finally got a good game from Gallo, Lawson and Iguodala all on the same night. Iggy seems to be finding his place within the offense too. Good to see.
