What a game!

 

[jayocampo]

Nuggets just got season swept by the MID 3

 

[goldenchild9]

RJ won us this one. He kept driving against their zone defense, it keep us close and kept them working all game.

Mitch & iHart gave us some great minutes too

JHart's strip on Aaron Gordon was big for us. Made some big plays while the first unit was out.

 

[keko jones]

Man I freaking missed it.

Ugh!

BTW, did RJs 21pt looked like 21 points this time or did they look like 8 on a 30%?

Just want to know how he looking.

It's beautiful after decades to finally see a PG like Brunson where not even Thibs can break his soul.

What did Thibs do?

Secured a winning season

Didn’t watch the game but this is why I’m confused about analytics. How was Hart, white hart and Brunson all -5 each and Grimes was a +15?

Grimes was in the unit that pushed the comeback late in the third and into the fourth. Brunson and Hart were out. When they came back in the game the Nuggets pushed to tie it back up. It has to do with the net pt difference when you're in the game.

This game literally proves we need Brunson.

Got it

I’ve been tough on RJ lately, but I’m embracing him as a slasher. I think he should fall out of love with the 3 and just focus on slashing

It’ll be close. Miami will come after our necks.

More importantly, does 50 get us home court advantage?

Only if we don't beat the cavs in the upcoming game against them.

 

[keko jones]

I think those standings are going to hold ...

We better be game planning for Clev from now. With like 4 different plans lf attack.

I think I love Julius Randle

Listening to Basketball Illuminati with Amin Elhassan and he basically convinced me I'm a huge fan. Much like my Westbrook love.. Randle can be a bonehead and has had issues, but the guy is a baller. He wants to be out there, he's trying, he's playing, he's just the man. I don't know. It was a moment of clarity. I love him but hate him.

 

[GaBeGRaMz]

Randle definitely has turned it around. No where near as much poor body language or lashing out at teammates/staff as last year. Still has some room for improvement in those areas, but I gotta give him credit for sure. The talent has always been there.

Brunson is the effin man!

NEVER thought we’d be 12 games above .500 with a shot at home court.

Pleasantly surprised and very happy with what the team is doing right now.

I’M READY

They’re 4GB right now anyway playing like ****

Good read. Do y’all think that we’d be where we are if we had traded for Donovan?

I definitely think we would.
