Game 9: Denver Nuggets (4-4) @ Phoenix Suns (4-4)

Not an easy game by any means.

They are 5-4 and they are playing an entertaining basketball.
They space the floor really well with Gallinari like a PF for a lot of minutes and Barton has improved his game a lot this year.

I've been saying we should try to use more of Leur for a while now. This could be good since Markieff's offense is in the toilet.

Fantastic news! Hopefully Booker will get some minutes and Leuer will ball out and show that the Suns are a better team with him starting and they can bring Kieff off of the bench, that is how it normally happens; and Book will display his value.

I like the situation, not the injuries to the players FYI.

Be careful what you wish for. See the other thread. viewtopic.php?f=27&t=1413763&p=45062054#p45062054

The starters with Leuer instead of Kieff has not fared very well. If Kieff is out, I might consider starting Warren at pf. To me, it would be a better fit.

Saw the other thread :lol:

So many variables in analytics it isn't even funny. Question, why would you want to get Warren abused on defense and created more congestion down low?

Markieff and PJ should be coming off of the bench.

Bad news is this means Teletovic is gonna play quality minutes since Hornacek doesn't know what the idea of playing the 260lb Tucker at backup PF works like.

Take Tucker out early in the 1st and put in Warren for him then later in the 1st put Tucker back in to sub for Leuer.

If needed, Booker can play spot minutes at the backup 3 spot.

PJ can play the four but i dunno if it's a good idea. he's not a plus defender or rebounder as a 4 IMO, and those are the only two things he does above average as a 3.

absolutely would not put warren in as a 4. and similarly would rather save booker from playing 3 if that matches him up to guard somebody who can post or play physically. rather keep one of weems/pj/tj there probably. but whateever, i would just be stoked to see booker play agian

Saberestar · Post #27 » by **Saberestar** » Sat Nov 14, 2015 8:21 pm

But anyone thinks that Teletovic is a better rebounder or defender than Tucker? At those two things Tucker is the better player, even playing the PF position.

Revived · Post #28 » by **Revived** » Sat Nov 14, 2015 8:26 pm

IMO playing Teletovic is equivalent to point shaving.

I wish we had this version of Teletovic as a STARTER back in 2013-2014 season, we could have probably got Wiggins.

I'm just praying Markieff plays. I don't want to see much of Telly. I wouldn't mind PJ playing some 4, but the problem is that he needs to rest so he can't play half his minutes at 3 and half at 4. It would be great to see Booker get some play, but he's probably not ready to play regular minutes if we want to be serious about trying to win.

Missing Price hurts too. I might have TJ play kind of a point forward type role with the second unit. Booker seems to have a great handle too but probably not ready to lead a unit.

If Kieff is a no go, I'd like to see what Leuer can do when given 32+ minutes. I believe he could hold his own again Faried for sure.

Yea JJ Hickson is a scrub that somehow always goes off on us. Even when he was with the Cavs, I remember him just killing us.

I don't know if the Suns did something to him or what.

Is ballstreams working for anyone?

I pay for league pass (single game) and since the game is on NBA TV, I'm **** out of luck.

I'm a big cord cutter but this type of stuff upsets me so much.

I am so frustrated with ballstreams I was looking at league pass about an hour ago, and I saw that you could buy a single game, and then I saw it is on nbatv and wondered if that would mean it wouldn't be shown anyway...so all nbatv games are not shown on league pass?

That is correct. If a game is on NBA TV then League Pass will not stream it.

Guys, ILP is the answer. No blackouts to deal with.
