Steph passing has been horrible tonight.

Been saying it all night. Who ever came up with that strategy should be immediately fired after the game. I don't get it.

for me is the game plan. it's not possible gordon goes off for 32 like grimes for 44 or avdja for 32.
it cannot happen everytime there is someone having the scoring night of his life.

has always been his weak point - when opposing stars take a night off he is going passive mode.

Losing the 3 pointer battle to this Nuggets team is bad enough, but they're also 4/12 from the stripe. Like, c'mon guys.

Grimes dropped 46 tonight against Houston.

Meaning maybe he's been hot lately and it's not quite the gameplan? He's averaging over 26 ppg for his last 8 games and that's not counting tonight.

Tonight, GS is just missing 3s they normally make, it's a make or miss league, the shots have been there, they just haven't dropped, Denver's made nearly 40% of their 3s tonight compared to GS at 20%.

Gordon is like 45% from 3 this season and by now I don't think it can be called a fluke or a game plan problem.

Looking like they dug too deep of a hole and Denver has an answer for every run.

what about the others? everyone is hot lately? everyone is averaging 25+ ppg in the last month?
one player one night ok, two player two nights ok, but it's not the case here. gordon is on pace for 40+ points, how many times this happened in the last month?

they should slow down the pace of the game in the fourth and making it a dog fight on every possession, not run&gun.

yet he's averaging 13.2 points per game this season not 40.

Without Jokic he's forced to take a much bigger role on offense. It's obviously not a game plan issue.
