Game 2: Denver vs. Phoenix 7:00pm

[skywalker33]

Second game in a row Murray has started slow out of the gate, seems like a bad trend. I noticed this last year as well. Now granted I do see the value of him being hot at the end of the game but it puts a lot of pressure on the rest of the team to keep it close, which will eventually explode on us.

Any suggestions on how we can add fire to his game early ??

Many players need that early bucket - that's up to the coach.

Did you notice that rotation at the end of the game?

Jokic - Grant - Beasley - Harris - Murray and then Craig came in for Beasley. That was interesting and I liked it.

Beasley and Grant were playing with the closing unit in a tight game. That's no accident. Millsap looked tired and Barton was having another off night. You have to wonder if this will be a trend.

Lets not forget that the Nuggets were one shot away from losing this game. Morris suddenly can't hit open shots. Barton is hot or cold offensively and a liability on defense at times. Millsap couldn't find his outside shot. Harris has been great on defense but like Craig spotty on shooting. Shooting percentages were low in the first half for the whole team.

Beasley rotating with Craig at small forward worked in the end. Going forward I wonder if Beasley can defend that position.

Seriously? Comme on... I mean I am not a huge fan of him but against Suns? He had REALLY GREAT defensive game. Yeah, talking about Barton. And still he is badmouthed by fans.
