Will be an extremely difficult game vs a team that is 16-3 in high altitude. Might have to unleash the Bobanator again.

Jokic had some issues with (former teammate) Nurkics size in the past. Maybe Boban's size will give him an issue as well?

Boban has always killed the Nuggets, but for whatever reason the Clips barely played him in their last matchup.

The Nuggets are also in a weird scheduling stretch of 5 games in 7 nights with a lot of travel, so they'll probably go pretty deep rotation wise tonight. Not sure how it'll play out.

got to within 6 but slipped to 11 at the half


just a step slow on D

on offense we're @ 58% and 5-9 from distance
Nugs are 56.5% and 8 for 13


FTAs roughly equal
so actually the numbers story is turnovers [9-4] and rebs [19-12]

_____________
ADD:


The starters got out to a minus-9 in the first 6-8 minutes
it's been mostly even the rest of the way

down 13 with a minute left in the 3rd

time for The Gizmo

:D

_____________

LATE ADD: Minus-4 in a minute and a half

that didn't work too well
nowhere near the action

:(


now we try no center [Gallo at the 5]
___________________________

nothing left to try

after a nice start Gallo is a team-worst minus-23 on 5-14 shooting
Tobias is there on the scorecard [16 pts, 10 rebs] but somehow not there

only Clips in the plus are Lou and Trezz although just barely


down 19 with 8 minutes left
play for pride now

Starters look flat starting games and one of those players has played poorly consistently. SGA even looks frustrated.

The bench playing small is always a gamble against them they just have to much size. Either we can break them down or we need to get Boban or Motley involved early.

Mike Scott seems broken let him rest a game

can't start Lou and Trezz
they make their living off 2nd-teamers



Gallo and Tobias carry the team some nights
other nights, not so much
we can cover when one has a meh night but not both
