Pups vs Nuggets G4 GDT

[KiwiMatt]

Teams just know they can get away with all sorts of contact when defending KAT. He needs to learn to play smarter and sell it a little more convincing.

Been 8 years. Nothing is going to change. You just have to accept that with KAT

I know. But you look at the difference between what Jokic gets away with and what KAT doesn't. Night and day.

I think Kat is trying to honor his mom today and playing way too frantic because of it.

Only down 5. Long game

[FNG]

KAT's working hard at both ends, but his 0 for 7 is what killed us that quarter. He simply can't try to go ISO on Gordon.

[KiwiMatt]

The good thing is Jaden has 0 PFs.

Totally different players...one guy plays smart, and the other doesn't.

KAT absolutely needs to stop trying to create off the dribble. That's killing our offense right now. We need to get some kind of actions going to get passes that will lead to open shots or Ant's drives to the bucket. Having KAT try to break down the D off the dribble against Gordon is not good. When he had KCP on him earlier, then he should have backed him down with the dribble, but more carefully. Instead he tried to rush into it and lost the ball. Just need to make better decisions, but also, as a team, try to get good offensive plays. KAT should be catching and letting open 3s fly or posting up if they've got a smaller guy on him.

[KiwiMatt]

I don't like this lineup at all.

[SameOldNudityDrew]

Ugh, they're hitting everything right now. Need to stay locked in and not get discouraged.

[Coolbreeze44]

We are in big trouble

[Q-is-here]

Nuggets look like the far more poised and clinical team. Not looking good.
