Wolves v Nuggets GDT - DLO dominates

[Lipoli390]

I'm starting this thread early with a prediction that DLO has a breakout game and leads the Wolves to victory.

He's probably seen or heard the recent criticism both internally and externally. He knows he's underperformed. And while I didn't like the deal that brought him here, I know he's a lot better than he's shown the past three games. So maybe tonight's the night when he takes off and begins a long string of consistently high-level play that starts to justify Gersson's faith in him. Stay tuned.

Well, DLO will have a good game again at some point. His horrible play can't continue. That being said, you need more than a good game from DLO to beat the Nuggets.

I will be interested to see if Ryan does anything to shake up the rotation. My bar is low. If Jokic is still in the game with 5 minutes left in the 4th quarter, I'll count that as a major step forward.....

Oh, oh- I made the same D-Lo forecast in the Wizards GDT, and it didn't turn out so well for me (or D-Lo, or the Wolves). I'm new here, so can someone instruct me on how to delete posts that may be deleterious to my reputation?

I agree. It will take more than a really good game from DLO to beat the Nuggets tonight even though the Nuggets have been struggling a bit so far this season. Maybe Vanderbilt will have a break-out game tonight. :) Assuming Okogie is still out tonight, here's the starting lineup I'd like to see:

1. DLO
2. Beasley
3. Culver
4. Vanderbilt
5. Naz Reid

That lineup should be pretty good on the boards.

It's gonna be a Juancho revenge game. Duh. :)

Lol. Sorry, FNG. Your reputation has already been tarnished beyond redemption simply by virtue of your presence on this board. :) As you can see, I just set myself up for another night of humiliation with what will likely be another addition to my long list of bad predictions.

I'll say DLO sucks again so maybe one of us can be right.

I dont think we have a chance in either of these games. Denver came out cold and is going to be giving us everything theyve got.

As someone who's under 6'6 I'm in contract talks with Rosas for 10 day contract and play PF tonight. My goal is one uncontested rebound.

I'm just under 6"0' and also in contract negotiations! My guess is whoever of us is shorter will get the deal! I've got my grey sweats on and Chuck Taylors. Plus been practicing my 3-point hook shot. That always works in H-O-R-S-E for me and Rosas seemed to really like the fact I had range with it out to 3.

In fact he told me, "Q, I don't want you taking that hook shot from anywhere but behind the arc or directly underneath the basket, got it!?" I told him that if I was directly underneath the basket, my hook shot would just hit the bottom of the backboard, so I'll just stick with 3s. He seemed fine with that....Doh!
