After only watching about 4 games, all before Thanksgiving; it is amazing to me how the Nuggets fans are voicing the same complaints as last year and further back. Unfortunately I still agree. I said it then and I'll continue to say it. The Nuggets need to use anyone past the big-3 to trade up to get a solid 3&D guy.

Nice to see you WY, hope you are well !

After a nice 1st quarter, Curry stepped in and bombarded 3-pt until he had beaten the Nuggets into submission, which was about halftime.

Why are we not using Nnaji and Cancar? Prior to his injury Cancar was solidly in the rotation and was helping ball movement off the bench, and Nnaji looked great with Cousins and Bones at the point. Hell I would be happy with Ross getting some minutes at this point.

Fact is we are getting killed on the perimeter, Gordon cannot keep up with Curry and we have no one else that I would consider a good defender outside of Nnaji and Ross, but we still with JayMichael and Rivers?

Who is Ross????

Yeah, most likely the X factor to win the series is Cancar, Denver's Jordan Poole....

The team is what it is, same as Suns series last season. Anybody thought we could beat (or even compete) a healthy Warriors? Disappointed (again) with Gordon's performance, but the rest is what I have expected. Without Murray or MPJ this is a lost season, everybody is playing outside of his real role and it is more complicated to extract valid conclusions.

The only conclusion (that we already know from last Play Off) is to find a perimeter defender urgently.
