Pretty much the kind of game that we must win (playing a good western team without 2 of their starters) so I guess we will lose

This is generally a bad matchup for the bigs, and they're healthy for Denver, who also had a bad loss last game. Dunno what to think.

Think we take care of business tonight, but it will be much closer than it should be.

That Plumlee fella is gonna be a problem. I wonder how Donovan handles that issue. I wonder how effective Noel would be at defending Jokic.

Maybe we can stagger Adams/Noel so Noel matches up with Jokic and Adams matches up with Plumlee. It might be worth a shot.

Wait, Denver is starting Plumlee and Jokic together? Yikes. We could see an Adams/Noel lineup tonight.

I am irrationally worried about Nick Young dropping 30 because it seems like the type of thing that would happen

Who the **** is Torrey Craig and why does he already have 8 points in the first quarter?

Appears we all should've been irrationally, now rationally, worried about this Torrey Craig guy that no one has ever heard of of.

At some point you've got to question if we're capable of playing good defense against good teams.
“If you're getting stops and you're making threes and the other team's not scoring, that's when you're going to see a huge point difference there,” coach Billy Donovan said.

I’m having so much much fun watching Jokic vs. Adams.

I agree, although giving an 18% 3 point shooter like Torrey Craig open 3 point looks I would argue is not bad defense. If he makes them unlucky.

That's what I'm doing. That has been my plan all along. And now it appears, by watching the boxscore, this was always destined to be a night where the shorthanded Nuggets play out of their ever loving mind.

Awesome.

it's unbelievable to me how anyone can watch schroder in these bench units and conclude that this is a strength of the team. he's a ball hog and a really average passer, at best.

What is it about the Nuggets?

We can't do anything against them. No Millsap and no Harris and they're still steamrolling us.
