Nuggets @ Rockets

[The Rebel]

Bad start but the Nuggets look to be coming alive now.

[Powder Blue]

Jordan Hamilton gets burned twice by Chandler Parsons....and then gets pulled. He shouldn't start anymore. I know it's nice having Chandler off the bench but Hamilton is far from a starter in the league.

[Powder Blue]

You can delete my post rebel....Hamilton is a scrub

[cold_cowboy]

how does hickson get a starting spot here, i'm dumbfounded. he has no effort on defense.

[Powder Blue]

Schedule loss I guess....

[eathb_au]

Shaw needs to do something about the Miller and Robinson.

We just can't play 3 PGs in the rotation. Needs to shorten it and decide on one.

[pickaxe]

Ah yes I remember the days of Boykins, Watson and Miller....

[Teens On Acid]

terrible play. hate the hack Dwight bs. They dont deserve to win when they play like that..if they'd just run the game hard there would have been no need to try that strategy. Pretty dissapointed.

[cold_cowboy]

this team is just not fitting well. hickson and faried are looking like good buddies and all, but they don't compliment each other at all, in addition to them being undersized for their positions, it makes it easy for normal size position players to take advantage of them. and neither can hit an outside shot.

i'm not a fan of hickson at all. there are players who conserve their stamina and play less defense like harden and there are players like hickson who are deluded into thinking they're hot **** who don't contribute near the points they give away. i hope others don't see this as i'd like them to quickly grab this guy off this team.

hamilton got destroyed by parsons, wasn't expecting anything from him really, although at least he knows he's not kobe lite. he was open a few times but didn't take the shot, don't know why.

foye's miraculous three point shooting is looking like a myth to me.

ty is a beast. wilson is an immediate boost. i'm hoping fournier still gets more playing time.

Wait a minute. Now Nuggets fans stopped with that "Karl is so stupid for not playing Hamilton. He is future star in this league" crap?

[pickaxe]

The only thing I ever criticized Karl for is not winning in the playoffs.

JHam is a bandaid until Wilson gets his wings. Previously we had Gallo and Wilson and the spotlight wasn't on Jordan. Guess what. Now it is.


Here's the thing, maybe fully assembled those that remain on this team can produce defense like last year, but until Wilson and Gallo are running full steam, having Iguodala would have pinned this team together much better than a bandaid. Nate Robinson's got his build, but he's nowhere close to the same at including his teammates.

Have to agree that this team, while being a decent looking peg, is definitely a rectangle trying to fit into a rhomboid....or the other way around.

Plus there are just so many developing parts that even if these players were to ever work well together, it would require the flower not the seeds. Mozzy's developing. Hamilton whatever he is, is developing. Even Ty's being presented with yet a new challenge. Just like you said, Wilson was an instant boost and that's what the team needs are instant boosts (on top of the awesome work Ty is putting in).

Iggy was, for all intents and purposes, an instant boost.

[The Rebel]

Personally Hamilton's play has not bugged me one bit, both him and Fournier are making some rookie mistakes, but are showing they have talent.

Hamilton has a future in the league as a 3 point specialist that also brings rebounding from the SG/SF slot. He should not be a starter with the current lineup, considering how bad defensively Foye is, but with the injuries it is fine for now.

I will say that I hated the hack a dwight that the nuggets pulled in the middle of the 4th quarter, not only did it not work with Howard hitting his shots, but it seemed to me that it took the Nuggets out of what semblance of game they had going at the time.

couldn't agree more. I wonder who's decision it was to go with the Dwight hack? Shaw said post game he didn't like that they did it? If it was his call why would he stick with it, make the adjustment and play the way they're supposed to. I hope i never have to see the Nuggets play that 'strategy' ever again.

If used as a strategy, both offense and defense needs to be at such a level that being put on the line actually stresses the other team out. Even though a joke of a strategy, all it really is is a mind game making the free throw shooting team think they are running out of time and getting nothing for their effort. Rockets got plenty for their effort.

are the nuggets looking to move wilson chandler? i heard they like fournier, so is chandler going to be traded or at least on the block?
