    Collins on Jokic and Turner on Millsap actually allowed us to pull it out. Millsap couldnt back down Turner, which is something I didnt see coming.

    I saw Millsap destroy Turner at least 3 times, I think Millsap just tired out towards the end of the game.

    On any given night Millsap can do that to anybody ...he's that good. We played him well tonight.

    Didnt grab any rebounds late in game, shot 4/15 overall (would love to see who was on him on those missed shots). It was good coaching, Turner kept moving and was extremely active, they read that well. Zach made him work his ass off earlier on, on offense and the guards made him work hard on D.

    He still got to the line too much, I loved when we put Zach on him and forced him out of the paint, Jokic rarely attacks the paint as he drives and looks to kick so it took them out of their offense.

    Not to mention how bad we struggle on the boards with that lineup.

    and....Turner did not create a turn over although driving to the basket without the shooter facet in his game is what Denver savors.

    It only took Stotts 6 games to figure out Zack is our only player who can guard Millsap.

    Progress?

    Kanter is sturdy as an oak, and Zach is shaped like a twig. Does that work?

    Collins should guard Milsap and Kanter should guard Jokic.

    We won but I thought Meyers should have got some time.

    Aminu is garbage this series....

    Evan was excellent last night. And he purposely didn't shoot, which was smart. Three times I saw he had practically a layup and kicked it out. Playing D, getting rebs, setting up the other guys.

    After 4.75 games he almost figured out that Meyers was the only player who could guard Jokic. But he clings to his own dogma so strongly that he wouldn't allow himself to learn that lesson.
