Nuggets vs Thunder Game Thread

Lets hit 10 posts. Not expecting a win, just a decent margin and all out defensive effort.

Moz for 22 and 13. Ty with a game tying 3 to send it OT.

Chandler is doubtful with a hip strain. I bet Durant's goes for 50+ if he doesn't play.

Was it his hip that he had issues with last season? Or when he came back from china?

sounds like Quincy Miller is starting tonight for Chandler, could be interesting.

Hamilton went from starter to last man on the bench.

I do not know what happened in those meetings, or if it was an order from the front office, but Hamilton seems like the one that lost out, personally I am interested to see what Q will do, and am just happy it is not randolph starting at SF.

I like that Quincy's getting the start. He's been in the league for a year and a half and we've really never seen him play extended minutes. He's got a hell of a challenge in front of him in Durant too.

You know the refs are rape him though. I wouldn't be surprised to see him on the bench, in foul trouble early.

Since we never opted into his contract, I think it's okay since there's really no point in developing Hamilton anymore.

Hope we can see extended minutes for Quincy not just a 10 minute burst.

Cmon Hickson, Quincy Miller was wide open no need to try to lay it up over 3 guys.

Well q looks nervous as hell, but still not as bad as Randolph so there is that. Also the Nuggets are up 9, but listening to the announcers you would think they were down 15 the way they are talking and the highlights they are showing.

Also listening to the half time show guys you would never know that the Nuggets are missing 3 starters.

I'm actually okay with Q's game, his lack of experience is showing but he does have a lot of nice moves on the offensive end.

I wouldn't be against moving Faried and Chandler for Monroe and be okay with Miller starting.

3rd game in a row Hickson has the worst plus minus on the team (up to this point tonight).

Return to Denver Nuggets
