Presti has to dfind some way to magically make a move to address how terrible our 3P shooting is.

Also, we have to stop shooting so many 3s because. We're last in the league in 3P% and we still shoot a crap-ton. On pace for about 50 3PA tonight.

Meanwhile, the Nuggets aren't missing from three. Our toughest test of the season is going very poorly 1/4th of the way through the game.

Why are we shooting 13 three-pointers in a quarter? We're the worst 3P shooting team in the NBA. We shouldn't ever be on pace to attempt 52 3s in a game.

This isn't an opponent you want to dig a double-digit deficit hole against. It's not going to end well.

We’ve gotten a ton of good looks from three and can’t convert. We’re missing a ton of guys. Denver is a good team. If we win I’ll be thrilled but we can still grow as a team from a loss. Don’t stress too much about this one.

If starting TLC means we don’t see Felton, I support Billy’s decision.

Yeah, I'm starting to think we're not as good as we thought we were.

I agree with you that TLC sucks, but we are down Ferguson, Abrines, and Diallo which is a big blow for our rotations in my opinion.

E: Apparently Abrines is playing. Point still stands in regards to Diallo and Ferguson.

Dude have a beer. We might lose a game and we’re missing our top three shooting guards. Denver is good. We haven’t even seen the team we could be with Dre yet.

By the way, anyone who doesn’t agree with me that we could use lyes is wrong. He would be great on this team.

Think I'm gonna have to turn this one off if we haven't made it a single-digit game by the half. Right now we're getting our *** handed to us on our home floor in our first game of the season at full strength against a playoff team.

Adams is just getting schooled tonight.

Is Mason Plumlee always this good? The guy is looking like Steven Adams tonight. So frustrating.

Things that we normally do that normally work aren't working tonight. Adams, unfortunately, is playing like crap.

Our only competent three point shooter is missing wide-open threes.

Down by 20.

We've played three straight Saturday nights and we're going to bet blown out in two of them. The only one we won was against maybe the worst team in the NBA.

Yep, I'll own that one. Hadn't paid much attention to him but he'd be a decent upgrade from Grant.

We look tired, open shots aren't going in and the Nuggets have brought it tonight. Still not over but it's looking pretty ominous so far.
