    Zach is good. They need to start involving both bigs in the play. There's no way most teams are going to be able to guard both.

    Dame is really distributing the ball well. The best part of the offense so far

    Why do we run pick and roll when Murray is guarding Dame? Dame can just blow by him every time as evident by that last play, but no pick and roll is our crutch.

    They’re cooling off a bit but still jacking threes.

    Zach gets that midrange down and he'll be a young Lamarcus Aldridge on offense..his jumper has good looking arc this season

    Starters look good. I miss Nurk though.

    It's quite evident how poorly the offense runs when Dame is not in there. Same shit as the last 5 years. When are they going to get a second true playmaker?

    the team has to get used to having two rim protectors or we need to get used to teams having open threes against us?

    Anyone who wants to trade Zach in a deal for Love/LA/BG is crazy imo.

    In other news: Phoenix is 3-19 from 3 tonight.
    we gave up 24 to them. Pre-season but its not a good trend.

    Denver rotates well and plays passing lanes, that’s my guess.

    Since when does Barton turn into Steph Curry? He never played that well for us.

    What I like about him is how he just keeps coming and gets the job done. He has an unassuming game, but just gets it done.

    He doesn't play that well for Denver either. Their fans hate him. He seems to only do well against us.

    Are you asking for more iso? I feel like that's a slippery slope.

    I bet Jokic doesn't get another foul called on him for the rest of the night.
