Nuggets @ Cavaliers

[The Voice]

Why didn't Mike Brown put Hughes in at the start of the 2nd quarter? He was 5-5 and 11 points.

PS: Did Andy just get elbowed on that rebound?

Some important stats:

we're 3-16 from 3pt
we've taken 6 FTs. because we're jacking up jumpers.

not good.

Here's a positive note, Larry Hughes is driving and actually looking good doing it.

^^
Yup. We start driving, feeding Z, and we're back in it. I just don't understand why we seem determined to spend 3rd quarters shooting J's. We do the same thing whenever we get behind.

And yeah, when Larry sticks to what he does best, he's fine by me.

Easily the worst defensive effort of the season outside of maybe the Suns game.

Absolutely pathetic display of defensive basketball.

Nobody beats the Nuggets tonight. Nobody. The single greatest offensive performance of their season. Let's settle for the 2 seed and keep our heads up.

Moo

i dont like to attack lebron but he didnt care tonight. classic example down by 10 with 1:15 left and he... waits for somethign to develop just dribbling it at the 3 point line. where it was the fouls or somethign else he just didnt have his head in the game.... unacceptable

It's safe to say this team has come crashing back to Earth.

Nope he didn't.

You wonder what happened btw him and Brown.

Mike Brown again proves he can play lineups like he's never seen his players before. Some total clueless use of players on both defense and offense

 

[cdt]

Too many perimeter threats...we absolutely suck when a team can shoot 3's...we get this horrible mindset like. "Hey let's shoot 3's too!" We miss 5 they bang 5 and that's a ballgame..

Another thing is why when a player is hot do we take them out?

Hughes is hot in the first quarter: he gets subbed out

Sasha hit two shots in the third: he gets subbed out

Z gets a few buckets: he gets subbed out.

Doesn't make sense

I agree. Mike Brown continues to confuse with his bizarre substitutions and use of players. I don't understand how a guy who's been in the NBA for as long as he has can seem to lack the ability to coach the offensive end of the court.

3:28 to go and down by 6. Who comes off the bench? Ira Newble. What the hell?
Once again Wesley on the 12 man active roster. The only reason to justify that is if S. Brown is hurt and it hasn't been reported.

Hughes' shot selection can be completely horrible at times. He forces bad shots with no regard to the offense, his teammates or the shot clock.

Not a great effort at either end tonight. Nice to see an effort made to go to Z and Gibson nail a 3 though. The offense looked decent when there was motion and the ball moved but like many times before that didn't happen enough.

The most confusing thing about last night.....


How does the second richest man in the world not have 3 bucks on him?

--During the game, Mr. Buffett wanted a Diet Pepsi and ordered one from a vendor. But guess what, no cash. Merritt had to fork over the $3. I hope he expensed it to Phil Knight.
