Ross would be perfect now.

Monty might as well be staying home. 1v1 is not going to work.

Watching them purposely force Gordon to switch onto KD for an iso from 35ft was pretty wild lol.

Okogie should not be in here in the fourth. The nuggets collapse on drives and we have to settle for jumpers. Should have had Ross in a long time ago to spread the floor. Now we gonna be down 0-2 because of poor rotations.

I've asked this maybe 50 times to myself tonight. Coaching 101 is to try and find a spark somewhere

Playoff Ross not hitting 5 in a row. He’ll get blitzed and attacked hard on defense that Monty will pull him out. Playoff basketball is a different type of animal where only the strong athletes survive.

Nah. He's actually made some baskets. Shamet would have thrown up bricks for sure.

They made necessary adjustments. The shots just aren't falling tonight and CP3's injury was untimely. They had full control of the game prior.

That bring said it's only Game 2. I'm not shook yet by what I see from the Nugs.

Shoutout James Jones not upgrading bench guards 4 years and running

TJ Warren should play more. Way more. Man's can get 30 on any given night.

He's our best defender and 1 of the main reasons that Murray has been so terrible today

Not sure what that has to do with anything...still has been bad on those short rolls minus one play.

Imagine if we traded for Jimmy Butler instead of KD.

JJ got a guard for Monty, but hes just blatantly not using him

Ghost of Kleine · Post #355 » by **Ghost of Kleine** » Tue May 2, 2023 4:13 am

3 big considerations here!
1- Suns stars and bench having a horrendous shooting game.
2- 17-5 free throw disparity. Refs blatantly affecting momentum in Denver's favor.
3- Monty Williams is absolutely useless and doesn't do anything to adapt or call a timeout. He just sits on the sidelines with a constipated look on his face!!!

It's very rare KD will shoot this poorly.

I know we shot terribly but the whole game changed in that bs 4th on Ayton and CP3 getting hurt

grumpysaddle · Post #358 » by **grumpysaddle** » Tue May 2, 2023 4:13 am

KCP beat the **** Suns basically.

Post #359 » by **Qwigglez** » Tue May 2, 2023 4:13 am

Yeah a little late to try Payne here. Especially because he was already 1-6. Quality stuff.

Well that's game.
