I see the best assemblage of Nuggets talent that we will see here for at least another decade. I see another team ripping us off with a single trade and us falling right down to the bottom. Maybe we don't draft well even after that drop off.
But even if we get a new assemblage of Nuggets and we like it, who is to say we won't get an even worse coach? Or end up with a new cancer on the team?
What we need is a conductor. Ty Lawson needs to change one part of his game and that is how he becomes the lightning rod of the team. All energy needs to flow through him. He needs to pick guys up when they lag, sense uneasiness in the crowd and create plays to restore confidence, be the most confident guy in the room.
He needs to be Allen Iverson 65% of the time and the selfless Ty just 35% of the time. When his team sees him dive to the floor to retrieve a ball, they're gonna respond better. When he just takes over and goes in to score, he needs to make himself the first priority. Get guys to cut to the basket with him. Layup or drop it off for a dunk. Mid range. Whatever he can make happen. And when he scores a couple in a row, get someone else involved. Then get someone else involved.
I like when I saw Chandler hit a three, then Gallo hit a three on the very next possession. That had a lot of good energy to it. Can't fight that.
Above all, there's a bunch of loose energy floating around Pepsi and it's kind of grabbed at randomly. People playing individual notes that go nowhere.
Ty needs to conduct! The Maestro.
Or we can keep hittin bad notes.
