First of a B2B, got the Blazers here tomorrow. McGee is participating in the shoot-around, might be active tonight.

it'd be ideal to get a large lead, go deep, and rest the starters.

Got the large lead, great display of offense and defense thus far

It is nice to see Harris-Gallo-DA off the bench. Strong defensive unit.

Just need someone to replace Hickson.

Out of curiosity what ur hangup with JJ? 7 and 4 on 3-7 shooting and he's +17. I don't see Faried playing any better

Awful defender, ballhogs on offense, empty stats guy.

At least 2 of his buckets were off the roll right at the basket, not sure you're really supposed to pass those. Faried is no better on D, idk advanced stats off the top of my head but I'd guess he's worse. To me empty stats are complied at the end of games, not during a 20-4 run.

I will concede I don't like JJ at the 5 but if McGee can't go I like JJ over Nurkic.

man these nuggets are hungry to get some recognition.

hickson at center should never attempted.

Thanks Hickson, for singlehandedly losing this 20 point lead we had in one quarter.

That's not all on him, he's not a C....plus we got no calls

stopped attacking, that's what we get..

Three 7-footers just sitting on the bench doing nothing. WTF?!

I've never understood why every team he's on seems to think Hickson is a centre, and refuse to play him as a power forward, and then whinge or trade him when he's outsized and overmatched on defense.

Shaw just let a 19pt lead disappear...great coaching !!

cold_cowboy · Post #17 » by **cold_cowboy** » Tue Dec 2, 2014 4:10 am

What a pussy league the NBA has become.

Powder Blue · Post #19 » by **Powder Blue** » Tue Dec 2, 2014 4:35 am

Everyone botched that 3rd but a win is a win...Hastings needs a new punch line.

Post #20 » by **corona** » Tue Dec 2, 2014 4:48 am

all the second half momentum going against us, including afflalo getting thrown out even though it clearly was accidental and not 'excessive'.......and they still gutted out the win.

that's a game we aren't able to get any stops down the stretch and lose by 8 under karl.
