Nuggets' Offense - what makes it click?
Assists? Sorta'
Shooting? 3pt shooting a little bit, not FG% or FT%
Certainly not ball control - checkout the turnovers
I'd say our offense works so well because of offensive rebounding. Maybe we should praise our best offensive rebounders.

Well, there is that.

Without Jokic the cutters are not cutting, which means the defenders are not being pulled away from their guys, which means guy like Faried and Jokic have to fight more defenders for the rebounds.

It might be the best offense of all-time.

Im gearing up for that Warriors series man. I may even make the 2,000 mile trek to go.

Right now it's good to see Nelson start to buy in and defer to Jokic.

The one player left is Barton who is hellbent on sticking with the ISO schmuck. Barton could lift his efficiency tremendously if he replied more on cutting and being a spot up shooter.

You make it to Denver, I'll drive down & buy dinner.

I feel writers have turned "spacing" into a buzzword almost but it really is relevant in how Jokic pulls away his match-up which allows our guys to make those backdoor cuts we capitalize on.

Sorry guys, I took a two-day road trip. Was it me, or did the Nuggets not run the offense through Jokic much during the Twolves game? It seemed like Nelson & Barton had the ball in their hands a lot and Jokic was spotting up at the 3 pt line on the wings. It wasn't all the time, but it sure seemed like it was more often than Jokic having the ball around the top of the key.

I could be wrong because I was in Colorado, so maybe the TV was warped. I like my Wyoming TV better. The Nuggets seem to play better on that one. LOL
