Go for the Jugular, Nuggets @ Wolves GAME FOUR GDT

[FNG]

Lost in the despair of losing two starters and the excitement of Ayo's night, Naz seemed to return to form a little tonight. Only 1 for 5 on treys, but 6 for 8 in the paint, 9 rebounds, and a team-best +14 (tied with Jaden).

Hopefully Ant is ok (he’s not playing good) because they can’t win a title without him. But boy I love this teams fight

He hasn't been playing poorly either thru the first three games (he was tonight before getting hurt). It was Ant that catalyzed the rally when we were down 19 in game 2.

He's been hit with the injury bug and not having him at 100% and DDV casts a cloud over our playoff hopes even if we get past Denver.

I haven't noticed him grab his shoulder for a while. Maybe someone can confirm or deny but maybe whatever was wrong has improved.

Are you speaking of the Spurs defense and scouting?

Both whatever remains with Denver and the Spurs.

Nuggets got nothing, q. His last game should have put them on notice. Join Jaden and the rest of us. They are all bad defenders

Ha, they have pride and I think we'll see it in game 5. Jaden may have pushed one too many buttons!

even if they lose game 5, the fact that they won tonight means there's a cushion


DDV being out hurts. That's 82 games and 240 threes gone.

I love that he looked to Shannon at least as an option and if Bones or Ayo are off, he's gonna have to be ready. If we get our asses kicked early in game 5, throw Beringer out there just so we get a feel for what his reliability can be even while losing.


Ant being out longer than this series lasts would really suck. Obviously we need him and can't rely on Ayo doing this every night, BUT this is different than if we lose these guys in October. Just gotta gut these games out one at a time. Rudy's playing inspired and the best thing I saw was they didn't really deviate from attacking the paint. Normally they settle for jumpers. They didn't do that until really late. Gotta give the coach props and the players were locked in.

I'm so salty missing most of the 2nd half man.....
What happened with Jaden and Jokic?
Was he that mad Jaden scored at the end?

Edit: nvm I found it. Bad look for Jokic ..

Ayo just added 10mil/year to his salary next year.

I saw him grab it once tonight, and it was actually after he went up for a defensive rebound. The landing seemed to jar his shoulder. He grabbed at it and then kind of let it hang until he got into the offensive zone, then he was fine.
