    Yeah, i mean, we literally destroyed them by 30 two times this season, not sure why they should match up well with us, their interior D is obviously not ideal to stop us. That may change a bit when Millsap will be back, but not as today...

    Denver does match up with the Warriors far better than they do with us, they run the P&R the least often of any team in the NBA, so Jokic simply has to contend with cutters instead of a bunch of big dudes sprinting right at the rim.

    The dilemma for GSW that we don't have with DEN is who to play on Jokic, as Clint can dunk on his head and defend his post offense very well. Zaza is too slow to be effective in exploiting Jokic's P&R defense, Javale McGee averages 6 fouls per 36 minutes, Draymond defending him means he's not defending the passing lanes, and moving KD to C means putting a non-shooter (iggy) on the wings.

    This.

    Being tired is no longer an acceptable excuse, even in b2b games. MDA could really mix match two starting lineups out there.

    48 minutes of elite PnR play tonight from both the pick and the roll. I’m looking for both Harden and CP to get at least 20/10

    Not really worried that Gordon's out with illness. Gives him more time to rest plus he's not injured so everything's ok. Plus Green and Johnson get some minutes tonight.

    I have a feeling that if this was a must win game he'd play. Don't blame them for keeping him out against a team we should beat.

    Gerald balled out the last time we played the Nuggets. Give him some minutes coach.
