Rooooooooooooody!!!! Beauty.

Of course it's not a rule but it's a widely used strategy for a reason.

And when your coach has SPECIFICALLY said that he's going to change that philosophy on occasion, as Mr. Slim pointed out above, then you might see a player remain on the court with two early fouls. So far, it seemed to work just fine.

In other news, I liked the comment Grant made about Reggie Evans talking to DMC, who was rebuffed when he went over to talk to an official.

And now, RU-DY!!!!

 

[HereWeBoogie]

I feel like this would be a good game for Evans to play in

 

[gman23]

Terrible 1st qtr play.

 

[Glenn]

Interesting thing that Brooks did on the fast break.

 

[Glenn]

Terrible 1st qtr play.

Can you elaborate?

Which is totally fine. I do prefer the traditional approach to the situation tho.

I'm pretty sure we'll see some Reggie tonight.

When you have a player as dominant as Demarcus Cousins, you have to get him used to playing with fouls. If you don't, he's gonna be spending way too much time cooling his heels.

I'm only being stubborn about this, BTW, because Malone was asked about it the other night after the game and made a point of saying it's something they have to work on to take it away from opponent's game plans.

 

[gman23]

Almost 5 TO's already, too many easy baskets by opponent

At this rate, we're not going to have any choice.

 

[VF21]

Terrible 1st qtr play.

Really? What game are you watching? I'm seeing pretty good effort, team play, balanced offense, and the occasional moment or two of defense. Not sure how that could be rated as "terrible"...

 

[gman23]

Ray ray

 

[HereWeBoogie]

These refs are obnoxious. Let them play!

 

[KingMilz]

Fournier has talent a very decent amount

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Our defensive rebounding is non existent

And I'm fine conceding because like you said, it worked out great.

And... Poor jimmer. Gonna keep the bench nice n warm the rest of the season. Only garbage time and injuries bring an exception.

As I mention early too many easy baskets by the Nuggets and too many turnovers by us.

Well, the stars appear to be more engaged than last night, so we've got that going for us. There has been good "effort," but it hasn't translated to a ton of success yet.

 

[Glenn]

And now there are 6.

 

[Matty-B]

Ray Mac on a poster. Ouch

 

[gman23]

Another career high for opposing player. 12 pts in 1st qtr for fournier

I been trying to tell anyone who will listen the dude is seriously talented since the first time I seen him play for the Nuggets.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Playing like poo here.

I'll give you that one. You have mentioned Fournier's name once or twice.

 

[sactownfan]

damn that was terrible defense by Ben. get the hell on your man and stop cheating into the paint

 

[VF21]

Hrm. Looks like picking Randy Foye up off the wire in one of my fantasy leagues might not have been a bad move.

 

[gman23]

Ben made a layup,,YES

 

[Glenn]

Ray looks fine. I would have thought he would appear helpless with the limited minutes he has gotten.

 

[gman23]

Maybe next season.
