[Soar]

Sexton is like a shitty John Wall.

Wow. What a quarter.

Ok, Drew - Whatever you did that quarter, NEVER DO IT AGAIN...

Donde esta Zizic

Our offense still seems really non-existent, hardly any ball movement, especially when things start going bad. When one guy (Cedi) has half of your threes taken ( 3 out of 6) that's not good. These mid-range jumpers will get us nowhere.

Also, Cedi needs to calm the fuck down the difference between when he plays settled, and doesn't force things, compared to when he tries to do too much is pretty major.

Also playing Ante in these lulls where we can't seem to score would be ideal.

If only they had a player who can carry you when you cannot hit a bucket and need some easy baskets.

We DEFINITELY dont have a guy who can get easy inside buckets...

*eyes Ante*

 

[Futuredome]

Decker, Hood and Sexton with offensive shit shows, TT another shitshow defensive shit show. Finally brought in Nance to help, a little late.

Schedule Alert! The Nuggets are playing their third game in four nights and the second of a back-to-back set today in Cleveland. After facing the Bulls in Chicago yesterday, the Nuggets headed out for Cleveland -- losing an hour along the way -- to face the Cavaliers, who enter this contest with a one-day rest advantage. Currently, the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook has the Nuggets as 4.5-point favorites.

It's just the construction of the starters. I think Cedi is a guys that can score in the flow of an offense with his skill set but once the ball stops he is going to struggle. Hood needs to be set up. Hill even though he is our starting PG doesn't set up or command the offense. Then you have two hustle guys in TT and Dekker who need plays to score anything.

Yep, it's just a lack of talent. Hood is the only one who can create his own shot on the team. Hill can, but he spends 80% of his minutes on the court checked out.

Unfortunately, we don't really have a point guard at the moment who can consistently run the offense. So Cedi is going to have these rough periods relatively frequently.

I'd really think about shaking up the starting lineup. Sexton-Hood-Cedi-Nance-Zizic is where I'd try first. Let Hill and Clarkson run the second unit.

 

[tocov]

That was a perfectly clean block, what the fuck?

 

[red.]

Hood is shit. fluke.

 

[Futuredome]

Hood and Dekker are killing the offense

That was a sucker bet IMO, this is a good team. I bet a decent amount on the Nuggets, and then went heavy as hell when they were the 1.5 pt dog about 6 minutes in.
