I think the Lakers matchup is ideal for Jamal. We're going to need him and at least one other perimeter shooter because points in the paint will be so difficult. Yeah they have an endless supply of big guys to throw at Jokic. I wonder who on the Lakers can keep up with Murray. Heck even PG and Kawhi couldn't stop him the last few games. Murray will need to shed his inconsistency if Denver stands any chance. Edited September 18, 2020 by Joe_is_the_best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also really need to be better at getting to the line(part of this is actually getting calls from the refs). I don’t see us winning the series but these Lakers are not better than the 08-09 team and we don’t have any idiots like Anthony Carter to throw the game away.

lomaxgrUK Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 At what point do Nuggets fans become worried about MPJ defensively? I mean, I am no expert, but everything about him defensively seems awful besides his rebounding (when he can be bothered). Poor effort, no defensive IQ, easy to get off his feet, and he gets picked on every time he's on the floor. Nothing at all comes natural to him. If he's throwing up bricks like he was last night then he's such a liability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's throwing up bricks like he was last night then he's such a liability. Utah exposed this terribly. Only reason Clippers lost is their wingmen all had awful shooting series. No one took advantage. I defer to the hardcore hoops guys but the one thing I’ve heard repeatedly - it will take an offseason to fix issues that MPJ has. It’s not something that can be fixed now. We have seen young players transform from liabilities to decent and even very good defenders. He is only 23 so it’s not like this is a skill set that’s fixed. But yeah I suspect it’s going to get ugly this series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_is_the_best Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 MPJ is very off & on with his defense. It’s effort, it’s lack of instinct, it's bad positioning. I think it's fixable, but who knows. He certainly has the talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
germ-x Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Looking for some fantasy advice for my 10th and last starter this week. Its basically down to Sutton, Parker, Harry, Kirk. Normally Sutton/Parker would both be starting, but they’re game time decisions and that always scares me. Even if they play they may be on a play count or not as effective. Harry is listed as questionable as well, but it’s the Patriots, they are reporting he’s good to go. Kirk I just don’t trust. I also have the option of getting fancy and going with Claypool or Hardman. I actually think Claypool could cause Denver a ton of problems today, he’s such a mismatch anywhere on the field and Denver is starting 2 rookie DBs. If Sutton plays I’ll probably start him. Harry, IMO, is probably the safest bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
germ-x Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 ^^^ Won’t start Parker either. Didn’t realize he plays the Bills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroncosFan2010 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Gronks 'Im here to block baby' comment made me like him even more. I love guys that bring it all on gameday but are fun and happy-go-lucky off the field. He is a cool cat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching the Hawks vs Pats Monday night game made me realize we are missing those "dogs" on our team. The get in your face, talk smack, and really get in the head of your opponents type of players. While I love and appreciate the Luck type of guys, I want to see the physicality and passion that winning teams have. Unfortunately, maybe thats why we havent seen much of that with us, is cuz we're missing the winning... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamler is wiery Steve Smith was a great great player and much more physical and better in contested catches than I expect from Hamler. Hamler was compared to Hollywood Brown and I think that's probably as close to a perfect comparison that there is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
