    Yes!! Harden needs to feed the players who are hot, and quit taking 37 shots when he's not. We play as a team, keep up a fast pace, don't play 75% Harden ISO and we can beat anyone. I want to see House and Rivers take more shots. PJ has been cold as ice, but let's start feeding him corner 3's again, before he turns into a useless player who is too scared to shoot like Anderson did. PJ will get back on track, but needs to shoot to do it.

    Im really impressed with Harden's leadership this season. He has really improved from even 2 years ago.

    Tucker must start shooting tonight. We need him to bring some offense. Yes, he has been awful shooting 3 of 25 the last 5 games, but he was 32 of 64 in the 8 games before that. For that reason we need to feed him the ball and get him back in to the game, especially when he is open in the corner.

    This a lose guys sorry. Nuggets were my lowkey sleeper pick to go to finals this year. I feared them the most last year n glad they didnt make the playoffs. This is the most balanced team ive ever seen in a while. N more thenthe raptors. 1 thru 12. Just solid players

    Denver is not going to go to the finals. As talented as they are, they don't have the experience that is needed in the playoffs. If they remain a top seed, it is likely they make it to the 2nd round, but beyond that it's going to be pretty difficult to beat the best in the west with tons of experience.

    It's rare that you will see a young team make it all the way to the finals when the majority of their guys have not made it to the playoffs. They are talented but they are missing the superstar heavy talent.

    if either paul or gordon were playing this is an easy blowout for us. but as it stands now, i'm not sure. james probably needs to drop 45

    and it pisses me off that gordon is sitting out for minimum 10 days right now during our toughest stretch of the season for what was diagnosed as "knee irritation". what a fuking joke

    Clint Capela has to step up in this game, especially running on fast breaks, run harder on pick and rolls.
    Jokic isn't really fast or athletic in jumping or quick on defense. James Harden needs to be super quick in his passing to Clint for many lobs.
