    Oh I understand. I feared the same thing. But it still made the end of the 1st exciting.

    Watching all of January's games only taught me that our defense is terrible.

    That is not a recipe for long-term success. Can’t play with this lack of defense and win with any consistency.

    What's the record of most points by a team in a half? The Nuggets can't be far from it.

    Wide open comfortable shots for Denver. I wouldn't mind seeing Tucker traded.

    It's amazing what a team can do when its number 5-7 players are competent.

    Simple reality is this:
    1) no one is a good perimeter defender
    2) no one can protect the rim
    3) no one outside of faried is a food rebounder

    You can start by playing defense.

    I don't know about you guys, but I'm beginning to think we might need a bit of defensive help.

    I know we've had injuries, but what happened to defensive genius Jeff Bzdelik?
