Great little stretch by Austin Rivers. Credit where it's due.

Our bench guys sucks, can we just have them set picks for Towns or something?

Nowell is getting torched on defense, Prince has turned it over twice already, and Rivers has been mostly invisible. Will Finch finally give Minott or Moore a chance?

We need somebody else to show up real soon or we wont win this game. Ant is trying but he needs some help.

Rivers has been pretty solid in both games he’s gotten minutes

Lack of room? Lack of spamming entry passes? Not sure.

The answer is that he still doesn’t fully have the burst back from the calf injury. I think people underappreciate how recent that massive injury was.

Having McDaniels would really limit the Prince minutes.

Finally, KAT gets a shot going. Wish we could get him way more open looks at three.

Ant post up maybe? Karl was wide open when he did it earlier.

Aaron Gordon and Jokic have done a marvelous job on him.

Big difference tonight is that the Nuggets are not executing. Also, Murray hs been silent.

I don't understand why we don't just shoot over Jokic and passing it out. I like to see if Jokic could get 1 block shot before we stop going right at him. He never jumps to defend

Should be up 10-15. Can't get offense going once again.

Why even give it to Gobert on the short roll? Like what was he ever going to do there besides get stripped then travel?
