[Game] Kings @ Nuggets, 12/23/2020 6PM PST, 9PM EST

Bags is Denver's MPJ. Attack Bags.

 

[SLAB]

Legitimately the only player I’m excited about on this team is Haliburton.

.....And Whiteside+his eventual trade return

 

[SacTownKid]

This is looking more like the team Monte described. Haliburton running the pick and roll very, very well. Bagley got a chance to go back at Jokic but they called some seriously ticky tack garbage a few times.

 

[dude12]

Cojo isn’t on a minutes restriction but Walton was told to be careful with minutes for Cojo and Whiteside.....so far Cojo has played more then Fox.

 

[dude12]

Jokic is a tough guard for all of our bigs but Whiteside

 

[Capt. Factorial]

If Jokic gets to commit three offensive fouls to get from the perimeter to the basket every time, this will be a tough game to pull out.

 

[SacTownKid]

I think they're starting to get a little gassed here. Tough to start off the season in Denver without a real full training camp I'd bet.

 

[SacTownKid]

Jokic is a tough guard for all of our bigs but Whiteside

If I'm Walton I let them test out the theory that Jokic has the stamina to carry a team like Shaq.

 

[Hoovtrain]

Fox needs to make that shot!!

 

[Hoovtrain]

I’m fine not seeing Holmes the rest of the game

 

[New Era]

What the hell is going on with the Nugget's floor?

What the hell is going on with the Nugget's floor?

Millsap slipped earlier, did you see something else?

 

[SacTownKid]

Walton back to trying to kill Barnes. Played nearly 20 minutes in that first half. Better get your second wind at half Harrison.

 

[New Era]

Millsap slipped earlier, did you see something else?

No, I mean the graphics....it's all blurry in the lane...I don't understand what is going on there.

 

[SacTownKid]

In the 2nd half we need to see if Whiteside with a small ball unit can do something. I would also expect the Nuggets to come out prepared for that Bagley, Holmes, Fox trio defensively. I don't know why Malone doesn't just zone them.

 

[Iced Espresso]

So only down 7 considering.

Shooting 40.8% from the field, 26.7% from 3

Also -6 on the boards

We do have 4 less turnovers....

Only net positive player

Haliburton +2

And Cory Joseph is your leading scorer. Throw that first half of garbage away and don't choke to start the 3rd and they've got a chance.

Literally everyone not named Cory or Nemanja has had an awful shooting night too

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Five minutes for Whiteside is inexplicable.

 

[Iced Espresso]

Five minutes for Whiteside is inexplicable.

Yeah maybe less Holmes vs Jokic and give Whiteside some mins. Nice haiving that extra big this year, use it Walton.

 

[King Baller]

Maybe try to get Buddy some open looks?

 

[Hoovtrain]

These calls, or lack thereof m, this far in the 3rd are bullcrap

 

[Tetsujin]

Nuggets really missing Grant here. Cannot stop Barnes

 

[SLAB]

Nuggets really missing Grant here. Cannot stop Barnes

would you say the sprinkler systems need to be turned on?

 

[dude12]

Going to need to use the bench liberally in the altitude

 

[Iced Espresso]

Unless Bagley hooked him didn't see him do that, that was criminal calling offensive considering what Jokic does.

 

[Hoovtrain]

Lucked out there

 

[kb02]

I really hate this Bags and Holmes partnership.

 

[dude12]

Bagley looks tired

 

[Tetsujin]

Bagley looks tired

Dude’s coming off of a respiratory disease in high altitude so I’ll cut him some slack.
