Des 11/11/7 is a wild statline
I know the Denver offence is gonna suck without the best player on the planet, but defence was once again so good tonight and a shoutout to SPJ especially
I missed this one but happy we got the win
How bad was that Edey injury?
Good win. Gotta tale advantage of a Jokic-less Nuggets.
Hope big Edey is ok 🙏
We actually have Bane, Jaren and Ja all on our team
I think Vince played really well, he got 5 assists in 14 minutes- And I think he’d have more if Edey could catch his passes, but they clearly need to practice more. Vince might need to throw slower for Edey, he’s chucking bullets.
Grit N Grind Won’t Die, We Multiply!!! 😤 On to the next
We cooked them Chicken Nuggets
Jaren sacrificed points to go into Block Panther mode? Still 2/5 ie 40% from 3 though. IMO if Edey hadn’t had to go out for the ankle, the lead wouldn’t have shrunk as much.
I feel like this squad has some margin for error because this was pretty sloppy but we still won easily because we defended Murray and MPJ really well.
We play a clean game and we win by 30+ here.
JJJ and Des are carrying us. Vince looked rusty af and Luke is slowly hitting his stride.
Santi has been incredibly wasteful.
Our 3pt shooting needs a lot of work. This team is better than what the scoreline and league table show
Jaren Jackson is gonna be an all star again.
Zach Edey is gonna be a 7’4 Brook Lopez with a 7’11 wingspan. Absurd
Jaylen Wells is the definition of a STEAL!!!
Refs decided from the jump to let them play and even though there were a few lapses they pretty much stuck with that the whole night.
Good news is if we were in the east we’d be third. But unfortunately we’re holding up 9th in the west.
Always good to get back in the win column… hopefully use Tuesday as a boost for a hot stretch with the schedule lightening up a little
1. Thanks to Jokic’s baby for the win.
2. I would not say the defense was so good. Some guys were sticking hard to their man, but they need to work on communication, particularly when subs are in. Huff looked like he did not know what his teammates were going to do on a screen or if he came over for help or when he thought they might, particularly when he was playing with BC. Jake, Vince and Santi had what looked like defense mistakes, but I think they were teammate mistakes. In the first quarter, there was also too much penetration of the paint allowed too easily.
3. Need to shoot better and get the ball in the paint better if this is a serious playoff team.
Coach says Zach is cleared
Needed W especially against a weaker team (cause no Jokic)
Would love to see data on ankle injuries pre and post popularity of low tops. Big man, long legs, I bet he needs more support.
Honest question why is Luke not getting the ball more? I see him all the time in the corner and no one passes the ball to him. Though Santi having a rough patch and everyone tossing it to him for the three.
Reporting back from the Grindhouse. The Scottie Steal and throw ahead to himself was so pretty in person!
Whoop dat trick
Wish we could have a fully health team but good win
