Nuggets/Wolves GDT

Post by FNG »

Okay, I wasn't going to take the likely L by teeing up this GDT, but Tim has laid down the gauntlet...so here we go.

Terrible news that Ant will be out for 2 weeks, and having to play Denver after playing Indy last night doesn't bode well for tonight. But I'm actually kind of looking forward to this one. Teams often play with a lot of energy after losing their star, and after last night's listless performance, that would be fun to watch.

So who starts for Ant? I predicted Mike in another thread, but with Rob active tonight maybe Finchy rolls the dice with him...that would be fun.

But the real problem with this team isn't the offense...we scored 114 last night with Ant only playing 3 minutes. The problem is the defense when Rudy is out. We have a very good DRtg of 110 when Rudy plays, but it drops to a disastrous 133.7 when he sits. I'm not on the Joan train, but if this continues, does it force Finchy's hand?

The line has been Denver -6 1/2 all day and hasn't changed, so maybe the Ant news didn't surprise anyone. It might be worth a small wager on Denver, but beware of a big effort by our fighting Timberwolves.

Big night for masked Rob. Finchy should just roll the dice and let the kid play.

I see Mike gets the start tonight. Finch is kind of playing with house money as there no expectation for a win tonight. Lets see what he comes up with, who he throws out there, and how they perform.

It's the logical choice, if not the most entertaining one. Still think we may see a little Rob tonight.

Anybody have a streaming option for us non-Peacockers?

Yeah, I was just noticing I may not be able to watch this one live!

Peacock is brutal. Watching Tmac, Melo, and VC talk about defense is silly.

I can watch the game on League Pass at 6am tomorrow... From the start of things, I may not bother!
