ClutchFans Game Thread: Nuggets @ Rockets 11/12/2023

Good teams win when they're on. Great teams win when they're off.

 

I like how the Nuggets play. They might win it if not us

 

@Os Trigonum

You watching halftime show??????

 

We are down 4 to the Nuggets with Green being 1-8.

His defense has actually been excellent tonight. Does anyone else notice he's been the best off ball defender this game? He's the only one not losing his guys or recovering he does off ball.

 

I really don't know what Landale does well.

They see he's an Aussie player so I at least expected a physical player but he really is doing nothing well right now.

 

You’re better off with Calvin.

 

This game feels unwinnable. Everytime we catch up, Jokic pulls some bs and they take the lead.

 

Maybe we can put Jokic in foul trouble in the 2nd half, and then we have a real chance. Jalen and Alperen needs to be agressive, lets see if coach has pointed that out. He probably has a waaay better idea.

 

just tuning in, on the road. will try to hook up LP for the second half. What's the halftime entertainment??

 

His last sequence where he found himself on Jokic was good stuff. Well contested

 

Landale is unfortunately useless but we can use Jeff Green at 5. He could be better than Landale anyway.

 

New backup Center is the FIRST thing we need to prioritize. I have watched Rockets from 2nd row and it's obvious that Landale doesn't have it.

 

He is also extremely fluid and well coordinated on top of being as big as Shaq was. Dude got a kick ball, made a turning layup and was already in his shooting motion before anyone could react.

 

Zumba.

 

A bit too timid on the offensive end, a number of questionable shots from Brooks and Jabari, gotta put pressure on the defense, get to the FT line, can't bail them out with long 2s, especially when contested.

Denver's been deflecting every other P&R pass it seems, if they have to win by ISO-ball at least force a mismatch of Sengun on a smaller dude, they did that with Tate with Jokic out to good results.

 

He's the only one who's not loosing MPJ on his off ball movement. Brooks out of all guys have lost him off ball. It's actually kinda surprising to say Green has been the better defender than Brooks tonight.

 

A bunch of women dancing, like 100's of them.... Most of them are on the older side thou if you know what I mean....

 

Well we know what our off-season needs are. A shot blocker and shooting.
