This team stinks.

They're in panic mode.

Instead of fighting through, going hard and treating this like the last game of the series, they're doing the dumbest **** you can think of.

Rubbish.

Pacers seeking out size mismatches and we refuse to use bench bigs.

I don’t think we played well on defense at all

They got 30, that’s a pace for 120

We didn’t look good either

Two deflections but the second negated by Towns foul. TJ hit tough shot over him.

He wasn't going to come in and light it up just play better than Payne

Even our defensive lineup getting cooked. The lineup change and new rotation isn’t doing anything
DENVER NUGGETS
Jamal Murray/Ty Jerome/Dante Exum
Zach Lavine/Ochai Agbaji/Corey Kispert
Aaron Gordon/Josh Okogie/Julian Strawther
Jakob Poeltl/Moussa Diabate/Karlo Matkovic

What is he doing so bad? He looks fine to me unless I'm missing something.


He let McConnell work him for a bucket... like everyone else on our team.

It's crazy that ppl on here root for players on this team to fail just to satisfy a personal agenda.

Would still like to see Precious play defense, get us some 2nd chance opportunities, and secure defensive rebounds.

Somehow OG found a way to make a wide open half court heave look incredibly awkward. He is special :D
