    It's late, I'm pissed that we lost, and I've got school tomorrow. Unfortunately, that means I'll have to share my game notes with you tomorrow.

    Eagerly awaiting recap.

    Btw the East awaits - now lets crush Philly.

    (We are better than Pilly against the east, infact we have the best record in NBA against Eastern teams - to bad only we play an eastern team tomorrow while Philly goes of against the hard West)

    To tell you the truth there really isn't much to recap if you already saw the game on League Pass, but for those without it, here it goes:

    Defense:
    I'll start off with out defense because that is what really lost us the game. We were horrible all night on rotations. Any kind of rotation, especially out at the three-point line. Nuggets were shooting wide open shots and three-pointers all day. Hell, Voshon Lenard was looking like an All-star against us for a while. Our man-to-man D was weak also. Our guards were letting people just fly right by them. There was one good point on D though, we played good post D (MoTay plays D?!?!!?), but we let Mcdyess (sp?) and Kevin Willis have all the jumpers they wanted (I guess MoTay doesn't play D [​IMG] ).

    Offense:
    In the first half our offense was moving very smoothly. There was a lot of movement, we crashed the O boards, and we ran a lot of pick-and-rolls and similar movement plays. Mo was huge in the first quarter nailing every J and showing some silky inside moves. However, as usual we stopped going to him and he was quiet the whole 2nd half. Cuttino, in my opinion had a horrible game tonight. Though his boxscore might not look that bad, he played without much heart. He seemed content to just throw the ball towards the hoop every single time. There was probably only two good shots he took all game. Moochie Norris was a blessing tonight. He came in and put a spark into our offense by moving the ball around and penetrating strong into the lane. Moochie also scored or was fouled on about 4 consecutive ISOs in the 4th. Steve started lighting up the Nuggets in the 3rd like he so frequently does. However, by the fourth it was just ISO, ISO, ISO, and more ISO. Moochie was scoring on just about all his ISOs, but the rest of the team ended up losing passion for the rest of the game. Steve still had his fire and wanted to win, but Moochie/Cuttino never fed him the rock which was a shame since he probably would have led us to a victory. All I can say is that the ISOs were a big part of our downfall because of the lack of movement which we displayed up until the 4th. All around my seats people were complaining about our ISOs and one person went as far to say "One on One every time! That's not basketball!" Sadly, I ended up agreeing with all the Nuggets fans. If we had more teamwork and movement we would be a playoff team easily. The 76ers were never truly great with Iverson until this year when the became the 76ers instead of just "Iverson's Team." If we could pull of that kind of teamwork there is no telling how far we could go.


    Well, this was my first recap ever. I admit it isn't that great, but there really isn't much to report. I hope it wasn't too boring. If you have any comments about the game or my recap I would love to hear them.

    The Nuggets fans were having fits because Moochie was breaking everyone down with his streetball moves. Nobody really knew who he was and they were like "Who is this guy?" They knew Stevie was All-star caliber and was the biggest threat to their team. Some of the people were also surprised about Mo's excellent start.
