Was at a bar watching Nuggets/Lakers...Denver went from being one of the best teams coming down the stretch to being possibly the dumbest

I mean why not play LA straight up when you up 3...LA isn't a great 3pt shooting team

Luka and AR aren't the guys you make that bet against tho :hubie: we watched luka do that to the entire Western conference in the playoffs, him hali and brunson low-key brought hero ball back over the last couple seasons

Some of these guys are just unreal in the clutch

Issue is Luka and Reaves put the sliders up in the clutch this season.

Reaves intentionally missing that FT and getting it right back was wild.

The Nuggets have been really dumb in the clutch this season. A lot of it has been at home funny enough. They’ve had much better clutch moments on the road.

Denver is also bottom 10 in defense, at least last I checked a week ago. Ranked #22 or something

So they’ll continue to get lit up down the stretch until they change that. I imagine they feel Gordon and Peyton back on the floor will remedy their incompetence

unless you have a team of midgets incapable of grabbing a rebound fouling is always the better option. excellent execution by austin reaves, you tip your hat to him for angling his miss away from the 3rd defender in the lane and getting the rebound. at that point though piss poor defense by spencer jones. gotta stay in front of him and force him to shoot over you.

This recent injury will be a litmus test with Kawhi

Most of his LAC tenure he’s been on that post-2012 DRose time where he’s this vintage luxury vehicle that’s brilliant when everything is patched up… but can’t go further than a mile or past the speed limit without shyt breaking down and ending up back in the shop indefinitely.

This season felt a bit different but in the past an injury like this would place him on PTO time for a month with no communication about anything

timberwolves have no chance against OKC. denver in the west seems like the only team that can give them a fight.

Kings picked the wrong time of year to start winning games.
