The Nuggets have like five guys on their roster whose only skills are hitting open threes and committing fouls.
 
Denver has maybe their worst defensive unit on the court, versus Golden State's Lineup of Death 2.0™

EDIT - And Jokic and Gordon back in immediately. Cousins had a good day's work, though: they won his minutes, and he was able to give Jokic some quality rest.
 
For as much as I regard Mike Malone as a coach, it boggles my mind that he doesn't post Jokic up more, especially against Golden State. Cousins is eating these guys alive in the paint, and he's a shell of what he was. You'd think that Jokic would be able to foul their whole team out down there.
 
Jose Alvarado is like the Pelicans version of Davion Mitchell, Patrick Beverly, etc.

Just pisses teams the hell off
 
Brandon Ingram is just such a handful. Literally basically impossible to guard, opens the game up so much for his team
 
Pelicans and Wolves giving the 1 and 2 seeds all they can handle. This ought to be encouraging news for Kings fans when they make the Playoffs in about 5-7 years
 
The Suns as constructed have major issues without Booker playing. surrounded the dude with great 3-and-D guys but CP3 just doesn’t care about getting his own shot anymore and Cam Payne is probably the only other guy capable of generating his own shot and he’s not very good.
 
Herb Jones don’t believe in no point god

Playing like how I thought he would:

A couple of (current and future) second rounders today in the UCLA vs. Bama game. Jaime Jacquez and Johnny Juzang for UCLA. Both are about 6'7 and kinda play like Andres Nocioni. Herb Jones of Bama. I thought he would be a 1 or 2 year player--not a 4 year starter. He has everything you'd want in a wing except for a three shot. A less defensive orientated, better handling, penetrating Mathyisse Thybulle.
 
I’ve watched more playoffs this year than the last several years combined. Lot of great story lines so far and the match ups are to really intensify next round.

Next year is going to be lit with all the potential revenge teams: Brooklyn, Denver, the Lakers and the Clips. Throw in the rising teams like the Wolves, Cavs and Pelicans plus hopefully a competitive King’s squad and you have the makings of a fun season.
