GT #18: Nuggets @ Wizards 7 PM (CSN/99.1 FM) [12/5/14]

Love the way the team is playing. Never thought I say this but Randy is becoming a good offensive coach.

The ease of this win surprised me. The Nuggets arent a bad team and we blew them out without getting hot from 3.

Denver 10th in rebounding and we outrebounded them by 16.We are up to 5th in the league in rebounding rate now.

Never seen Wall look so determined not to shoot. In the first half it looked like he made up his mind that he just wasn't going to shoot. a couple of times it looked like he had the chance to get to the rim but kicked it out. Someone must have gotten in his ear about taking too many jumpers.

Beal is on a serious hot streak from 3. Over the last 4 games he is 11-17. That is almost in Butler territory.

Gortat might be one of the top bigs in the league when it comes to running the pick and roll. He consistently rolls hard to the basket and looks to finish even in traffic. So many bigs either pop instead of roll or dont continue to the rim when they do roll.

John can be a better version of Rondo -- dominating games without shooting the ball. SHoot only when at the rim or open 3's early in the shot clock. Use those preternatural gifts to get a teammate a better shot.

people think someone got in Wall's ear but I dont think so. If someone got in his ear then that just means he would drive to score more. I think he's upset at himself for letting his FG% drop so low and made up his own mind not to shoot as much right now until he finds his groove again.

One thing that stands out to me is Ariza. Alot of people said we would miss him but we are now 3rd in the league in defensive FG% without him. Not only that but even more important is that we are back up to 3rd in the league in 3pt FG% without him after people thinking we had no outside shooting early. Meanwhile, after that hot start Ariza has been shooting as bad as he did when he was with Hous the 1st time

No, I wouldn't put him there. I have no doubt that he's helped improved the teams execution, but for the most part, this is still a team playing an archaic brand of basketball. If his philosophy was up to date with current NBA standards, he'd actually be a really good coach.

No Wizards has scored 50 points in a game this season! Sky is falling! Tear it down!

Well, there's always the weather.

To all the people that missed Trevor Booker and made a thread about him? I don't miss his 7.5 points and 4.4 rebounds and 7 of 21 from 3-point land with Utah in 20 games. I'll take Kris Humphries and even Drew Gooden over him. Even Seraphin the way he's playing, Blair who never plays and Paul Pierce, who is roughly the same size can play the 4 spot. It took EG about 20 years but he finally found the right formula. Young players with IQ+veterans with IQ and leadership = wins. The way Seraphin is playing right now (I know he still has his bad Kev moments), everybody is at least going with the program. Save for Rice, who hopefully will get it some day.
