Tae really needs to work on his mid range game. Great fake off the 3pt to get the defender to fly by, he dribbles in to the mid range and has no one around him but instead of pulling up for the J, he kicks the ball out to Terry for a worse and contested shot.

I really, really, really dislike these grey uni's. They are just so.........................blah.

Terry taking a page out of the "Tae go ahead bounce pass" and hitting Cody in stride. Nice.

You'd swear that Jokic was careless with the ball the way he just flings it around all over the place and one hands it, but he's not at all. He's so creative and sees the game so well. I feel like he should have played his entire career on the Spurs instead of the Nuggets.

Miles had that 1 sensational bounce pass to Biz off the P&R last game. Since then he's botched the next 3 bounce passes off the P&R (1 to Cody last game and 2 so far this game). That's the consistency piece he is severely lacking. The skill and ability is there, the consistency of execution is not.

ANDDDDDDDDDDD he needs to do more of that straight line, down the middle power dunk stuff!! More of that and wayyyyyyy less of the over the shoulder, not squared up, jumping off the wrong foot and off balance running layup hook things he does so much.

Can't wait to finish watching this game and read all the Marty McFly's post about how we missed on Porter.

Terry just sold drawing an offensive foul in THE most aggressive way. I'm pretty sure the ref wasn't going to call it (it was a late whistle) until Terry went into full on Denzel mode and started furiously waving his arms as he fell backwards in the most exaggerated way. Quality stuff.

End of the 3rd and we are only down by 5. How are we even in this game? They have looked so much better and more crisp than us - especially their ball movement. Without looking at the stats my bet is we are taking, and making, a very high % of 3's and that is about the only thing keeping us alive. Let's hope that doesn't dry up.

Tae with the shifty baseline drive switching from right hand to left at the last second and protecting his shot with his body by blocking out Plumlee as he finished. Very nicely done.

Should have mentioned it at the start, but I 100% expected Barton to go nuclear against us and put up 40+ tonight. Happy I was wrong.

I think that is the 3rd time this season that Bridges has been hit with a 5 second inbound violation? I ask again, is that the fault of the person in-bounding the ball or the other 4 people on the court not getting open?

After 3 qtrs we were only down by 5. 1 qtr later and we lose by 20. I guess that high volume of 3's going down dried up? Colour me surprised.....

i think because the team has constantly passed to him this year, some are terrible passes, but he's been given opportunity plenty of times. It's what should have happened from the start really, to at very least, be less predictable

I've noticed that he has basically no issues catching Devonte's passes, and often Malik's. Terry's passes have been much tougher catches for the most part because he actually has to go find them
